Catch Salina Xay in the April 2014 Tuner Galleria issue.
First off, what’s your ethnicity?
I am 100% Laotian.
And what do you do for a living?
Well, I obviously model. That’s more of a side thing though. I am a dancer at night and during the daytime I run a medium sized bookstore on Amazon. I also play Poker.
Medium sized bookstore?
Yeah, about 5000 products. Not too big, not too little.
How did you start doing that?
Well, I once put one of my books up for sale that I bought at a thrift store. I ended up selling it for 6 times the price I bought it for, so I thought “hey, maybe I can do this with a lot of books?”. So I went out to thrift stores looking for certain books and it turned out to be pretty successful. I sold 60 books on my first day. This was about a year and a half ago and I’ve just been doing it since.
Wow, that sounds freakin’ lucrative.
Its pretty awesome!
So do you keep the books at your house or something?
Not anymore. It got to be too much too fast. I pay Amazon to store it in their warehouse.
Oh wow, didn’t realize you were an entrepreneur.
Me neither lol.
As far as modeling, what do you want to accomplish in that realm?
To be honest, I just love modeling and being in that world. I can’t say where I’ll go with it, but I certainly hope to go as far as I possibly can. There are so many beautiful girls and incredible photographers. Just being in the presence of them all is amazing.
What’s your #1 unfulfilled sexual fantasy?
Haha! Well here’s one fantasy I’ve always had. I always wanted to do it with a hot professor… Unfortunately the chances are slim now, since I am not in school anymore.
Currently are you single or taken?
I am currently taken! 4 years strong. I haven’t been single since I was 13. I have always been in long term relationships.
What’s one piece of relationship advice you’d give?
To look at the worst in people before you decide they are worth being with. Too many people avoid that part and then get surprised by it down the road. I think if you are going to be with someone for a long time, you better like them for their flaws too. I’d like to add communication and acceptance too.
Why is your man the right guy for you?
Because I can always be honest with him. I never need to lie to him, because I know he accepts me for who I am. That’s very hard to find. Looks are important too lol. He’s just an all around, sweet, attractive and trustworthy guy.
What’s the worst date you’ve ever been on?
Lol, a while back in high school, this guy took me to the movies. For one, he brought his friend with him…Secondly, he tried to put his arm around my shoulder and got his bracelet stuck in my hair lol. It was mega fail.
What’s more important in a guy – looks or money?
Money. If he has money, he can buy some plastic surgery!
What’s your favorite drink?
Red Bull or Coke. I have been obsessed with them lately. For alcohol, I like vodka.
Who’s the hottest guy on the planet?
I’d say Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man is my ideal guy!
Which car is a panty-dropper?
RWB Porsche 930. I love older cars and everything RWB makes is just perfect in my eyes. I don’t know much on cars, but I know that one. I also think the Audi R8 is nice.
What do you think is something guys are doing wrong in the dating world these days?
They just like to settle. They don’t aim high enough and because of it they don’t commit well enough in the long term. They get bored and stop trying. Probably because they realized they could have done better.
Why are you a good girlfriend?
I am honest and loyal. I am also a good cook I love taking care of my man. I’m old school like that…
Which girl could turn you lesbian?
Christy Mack, she’s a pornstar.
Being that you’re an exotic dancer as well. What’s the key to a great lapdance?
Sensuality. Moving slow. Eye contact and being close with the person. Make them feel like you are theirs for the moment.
What’s the worst or most embarrassing thing that’s happened on the job?
Wow, there are so many…um I fell a lot on stage in the beginning. I’ve knocked over peoples drinks. Sometimes I wear my dress inside out like a noob and don’t realize it until later.
What’s the best way to get a girl’s number from the strip club and have it actually be the REAL number?
Spend a lot of money on her. Even then, it is slim. If they give you their number, its just so you can come back and spend more. Getting a dancer is incredibly difficult, because most are married or have boyfriends. I’ll tell you what NOT to do: Don’t tell her “she can do better”. You say that, you’re done. Guys seem to think its a compliment, but it is the biggest insult in disguise and dancers hear it all the time.
What’s the hardest part about being a stripper?
Hmmm….Well, I get to pick my own schedule, sleep in, leave whenever I want, take breaks whenever, and make rent in one night. This is tricky…
I guess pretending to “enjoy” talking to people is the hardest part for me. I am naturally introverted. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy talking to some people. But often times I get stuck with the bad ones.
Do you have any interesting talents?
Poker, Tetris and Bejeweled. I own hard. lol. I am also good at makeup. I want to learn how to drift! Maybe when I move out to the west coast.
When are you moving to the west coast?
This year, when summer ends and my lease is up. Planning on moving to Vegas. Possibly L.A. Still deciding which. Playing it by ear for now.
Didn’t you say you wanted to play pro poker?
Yes I do That’s one of the reasons I want to do to Vegas. It’s affordable to live at, close enough to L.A. to travel for modeling and just visiting.
So that means you’re really good at Poker then huh? What’s your bankroll at?
say how much I have. I play mid-stakes and occasionally high stakes.
If you want to look sexy, what do you wear?
Lingerie and heels. Love it! Never fails.
What is something that really attracts you to a guy?
Easy. Intelligence.
Someone very well rounded and well versed. I just think its something very important and often overlooked. If the world is coming to an end, you want to be with the one who knows what to do. Right?
Okay cool, is there anything else we should know about you?
Hmm, well I am an INTJ. Which is rare for a female. Only 0.3% of the females on earth are INTJ. INTJ is a personality type. It stands for (Introverted, Intuition, thinking, judgement). Everyone has a personality type. Also, my birthday is on groundhogs day. Which is kinda cool I guess.
