L Shima is Naughtier than Your Average Asian Girl

L Shima is very different from a lot of the girls we put on Amped Asia. She has a different aesthetic and a different taste for what kind of photos she prefers. In most of her photos, she prefers to be naked. This is Amped Asia’s very first NSFW feature, so enjoy guys. Check out our NSFW section for more great content.

WARNING – pictures in this post are NSFW.

What’s your ethnicity and where do you reside?

I am African American, Irish, German, and Japanese! I currently reside in Sarasota, FL but born raised in Austin.

What do you do for a living?

Modeling is my full-time job, I am also self teaching myself fashion design on the side.

You do a lot of nude photography. Do your parents know and how do they feel about it?

My mother and siblings know for sure. I was worried about it at first, and even attempted to keep a secret, but once they found out, they didn’t really get mad. My family are happy as long as I am happy. The only thing they worry about is my safety when it comes to modeling. I haven’t spoken to my father in over a year. He hasn’t really been part of my life, and that is his choice.

So you’re part Japanese, do you relate to that side of your heritage?

I am not sure I can fully relate. My mother’s mom who is full japanese passed away a few years before I was born. So I never actually had the opportunity to be around the heritage as much. I admire the culture and dream to visit Japan. Out of all my ethnicities, I am more inspired by the japanese culture.

How did you become so comfortable being nude in front of the camera?

That is always a tough question to answer. To be honest, I am not sure. Growing up, nudity wasn’t anything shocking to me. I never exposed myself to just anyone, but I also never looked down upon it. It feels pretty natural everytime I pose nude, although I love to be draped in clothing more than being nude.

What are your dream photographers or assignments?

Oh lord. I have tons!! Just to name a few:
Andrew Zuckerman
Phil Hale
Karim Sadli
Patrick Demarchelier
Sarah Moon

Currently, are you single or taken?

I am happily taken!

Why is he the right one for you?

We both work perfectly well together. He understands my career and vice versa. We always have fun together. I wouldn’t ask for anyone else!

What are your top turn ons and turn offs?

Turn ons: humor, structure, positive attitude, and good looks.

Turn offs: unflattering, negative attitude, disrespectful, and grungy/ shaddy.

What’s your idea of a great first date?

Simplicity is always key. Dinner, great conversation, and either a show, or a nice walk around town.

What’s something your mom doesn’t know about you?

Ha! I have no idea, I am such a bad liar, that I think she knows everything about me. Either I tell her or she has found out on her own.

Do you remember the craziest thing that’s ever happened to you?

I almost drowned when I was little ha! But luckily, I am not afraid of water.

What’s the worst date you’ve ever been on?

A date with a guy that I ended up paying for an over expensive tab… I am totally open for females and males paying, but I prefer to know ahead of time to make sure I know I have the funds to afford it! He said he didn’t have enough cash to afford the bill. Ha!

What are your passions or hobbies?

Fashion design. I love it!

Yesterday I sketched out the design. Today I put together this simple dress. I’m working on my seam game. Expect more of my fashion design since I have a studio now!

What’s something adventurous you’ve done in the past 5 years?

Quit my normal job to pursue modeling, moving away from home, and traveled around the U.S.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

want to thank you and Amped Asia for taking the time to interview me. Keep a look out for some fantastic projects that I will be releasing and collaborating on!
