I recently had to opportunity to interview Skye Natasha Lintott! Skye is a mother, wife, model, fashionista and a friend of the Real Housewives of Vancouver. You may remember Skye, as she made some cameo appearances during the second season of RHOV. Skye talks to us exclusively about fashion, RHOV, charities, upcoming projects and more. Read our exclusive interview with Skye N. Lintott below!
iRH: For those who don’t know much about you, tell us a bit about yourself?
Skye: I'm a pretty free spirit and easy going. First and foremost I'm a devoted wife and mother to a beautiful boy. My family is my everything, they've made me the person I am today: loving, generous, loyal, and patient. My family and my faith are my foundation in life. However, I also have a really fun and playful side, with a passion for fashion, entertaining, and spending quality time with friends.
iRH: Where are you originally from?
Skye: I'm of German and French descent and though I adore Vancouver , my heart remains in Europe ! Luckily I'm fortunate enough to be able to travel often :)
iRH: Besides modeling, what do you do for a living?
Skye: Though modeling is in my past it introduced me to so many things, and as a result, my purpose and passion within the beauty industry became that of empowering women and helping others not only look like their best selves, but more importantly, feel just as beautiful on the inside.
iRH: Are there any charities you help and support?
Skye: Yes, when I agree to do an event it's always because it is connected to a charitable event I believe in. I have worked with anti bullying campaign with Christy Clark, Children's Hospital and the SPCA. I have a philosophy of to do unto others as it's done to you. To always be kind and generous and give back to the community whenever you can, that is why I dedicate my spare time to a vast array of local charitable organizations.
iRH: We’ve seen you doing some modeling lately along with some of the RHOV ladies; how did that come about?
Skye: Robin has been a dear friend of mine over the last 10 years. So whenever she asks, I am there! She invited me to walk a few shows with her and a few other wives. We have a lot of laughs and the designers are incredible .Madame Moje is a true talent and designs for the women's body. It's ready to wear with a touch of glam, it's brilliant!
iRH: You made some appearances during the second season of RHOV, which housewives were you closest to then and who are you close to now?
Skye: Reiko and I got to know each other during the 1st season. I adore her and her girls. We have had some great times together over the last few years, she is a dynamo !! In season 2 I met Amanda, Ronnie, Mia and Ioulia I don't know them well, but they are gorgeous women! Robin and Mary are like my sisters. I love and treasure their friendship. They both have been through very difficult times and they are still soft hearted and giving. I simply I adore them. We are all a little quirky and interesting, such brings the dynamics you saw on screen.
iRH: What are some of your favorite fashion designers and what are some of your favorite fashion shows you’ve done so far?
Skye: I adore Isabel Marant for being so stylish yet practical (I'm a Mom). Preen for their gorgeous, fitted dresses,(perfect for an evening out with my man, or a night with my girls, yet sophisticated enough for charitable benefits). Tibi is adorable and has a really playful quality. And my latest obsession is Mary Katranzou for her incredible use of color and print. Never a wallflower ;)
iRH: During the second season finale of RHOV, things got heated between Mary and Jody. What came through your mind when that was happening?
Skye: It was a highly uncomfortable situation for everyone involved, and shouldn't have escalated to that point. Honestly I was as shocked as everyone else. I believe things happen in the moment that people might not be proud of, but the most important thing is to learn from it and move on, that is partially why I've become so involved with the anti bullying campaign, not only for my child's sake, but because everyone, regardless of age, should be made accountable for the things they say and do, in order to grow to have a greater understanding and acceptance of one another.
iRH: Any filming you did on RHOV that you wish would have made it on TV that never aired?
Skye: I think if I did say anything I would have completely lost it. I really needed to bite my tongue, it was important for Mary to stick up for herself and say her peace.
My friends are everything to me and I just wish women were able to support one another, as opposed to tear each other down.
iRH: Are you a fan of The Real Housewives franchise, if so which ones are your favorite?
Skye: I like New York & Beverly Hills they show the cities well and it's fun to see the different habits and lifestyles of each of the women
iRH: Would you ever consider joining the RHOV if Slice decides to do a third season?
Skye: Yes, anything is possible.
iRH: What would your RHOV tagline be, if you were on the show?
Skye: I know who I am, who are you!
iRH: Do you have any upcoming projects in the works?
Skye: I will be at the opening of Vancouver fashion week with Robin as the guest of Niche magazine. I love seeing all the new talent. Vancouver fashion week is the fastest growing and nice to see everyone dress to impress.
iRH: Anything you would like to add to this interview?
Skye: My new venture will launch on the heels of fall fashion week. It will redefine the way women think of transformation! A Mecca of fashion and beauty ... Stay tuned.
iRH: Anything you would like to say to your fans?
Skye: You can have it all! Don't smoke, wear sunscreen, count your blessings and tights are not pants people!!!
