Who is Elle Capone?
Elle Capone (pronounced L Kuh-pone);
I 'm every woman; your favorite boss, your role model, your home-girl from up the block, and everybody's favorite M.I.L.F. I'm the Street Sweetheart. Elle means couture, classic, radiant with femininity. Capone means I'm a Boss. Google me, there's only one.

How long have you been modeling?
My grandmother will tell you that I was two when I came proudly walking down the steps, waving my little hand to "Here she comes, Miss America!” I officially got my start in 1995 doing beauty pageants in Virginia, Indiana, and Illinois. After I turned 18 I wanted to take charge of my career and I began doing spokes model work and videos for photographers and artists in the VA/MD/DC area. Finally in 2006 I started Hun E. & Nem Ent. to promote my talents and to create a home for other creative young women to team up.

Do you have any interesting hobbies?
I LOVE to write! For magazines, for radio, scripts, lyrics (neo-soulish-popish-hip-hopish-rockish that NEW back in the day stuff). I also design Oscar Night worthy gowns and Street Chic wear for women. Got a HUGE event coming up and you need to look fresh, fab, fierce and like that totally-one-of-a-kind star you were born to be?? Hun. E I suggest you let me dress you!

What do you love about hip-hop?
I love that hip-hop has grown into this great big, colorless, culture that has been embraced by people of all walks of life all around the world. Hip-hop has long survived the so-called "trend" phase, and will thrive for many decades to come.

What do you dislike about hip-hop?
I don't like that hip-hop is being used as a tool to define an entire culture of people. I like to listen to certain rappers talk about being at the trap house all day and spending money on big cars, not because I glorify hustlin' but because I feel good hearing that man talk about a situation that he has overcome. That gives me the hope and gives me the inspiration to push hard and use my mind and my voice to get me out of my current struggles. Of course as a woman I disagree with the light that most women are portrayed in hip-hop, BUT if these women weren't selling their souls for "face-time" these men wouldn't be able to talk about them.

I’m sure you got a myspace page. What’s the most retarded message a guy has ever sent you?
Hey! Don't I know you from high school or something? No wait, I think it might have been, "I saw you at Food Lion buying diapers did you see me?! but that was more cyber-stalker scary than retarded.

What’s the best way to spend a Saturday night?
With good food, good green, a purse full of money, and of course good people.

Give me an example of a romantic setting?
*Giggles* Romance?? It's all in the moment. It's not about planning out every second you're about to spend with someone, it's about spontaneously making an ordinary moment a warm and fuzzy memory. Making someone feel like you're the only two in the universe in a crowded room, that's romantic.

What’s your most sexy attribute?
My brain and my heart. Having a child brought me to the sad realization that vanity is short lived. I'm smart, ambitious and compassionate. I have to rely on those qualities, not my looks to keep me ahead in this world.

Sexually related: “In the heat of the moment,” what can be done to spoil it for you?
A late start or an early finish.
