Right now we’re all sitting down together and reminiscing about times that we’ve had and these past years together and understanding what a fun journey this has been.

So, what are you going to be doing with your time off?

Well there’s no time off when it comes to me! Whenever I have time to myself I work on my site, Beautiful Movements, and I’m always working on my writing and teaching classes as well as my own music and a fashion line and I should have a storefront open for Beautiful Movements quite soon which contains tops from my own art.

So will the clothes be Pussycat Dolls inspired and a bit raunchy?

Um, I would say it’s quite different from the Dolls and really comes from my own individual inspiration which stems from Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick. I love colour and anything that’s outside of the box and I even have body fader shirts which are like the old school ones which are heat sensitive and change colours which I’m so excited about because I always wanted one as a kid but could never afford it.


So, you know there are loads of girls who look up to you and plaster posters of you and the rest of the Pussycat Dolls all over their bedroom walls; so how do you find life as a role model?

At first I didn’t know how to handle it because I came to London and I’d be walking into the hotel and there would be people lined up outside to shake my hand and say hello and I’d be like; “why do you want to meet me, what have I done that make me inspiring to you?” it was just over the years of self-discovery that I because to understand that you own everything wonderful that comes into your life and it’s your choice as to whether you embrace being a role model and doing your best to be the example of leading a happy lifestyle, or you chose the latter.

I think that happiness is a journey not a destination in life and I try to live out that.

What has been the highlight of your career so far then?

Goodness, I think winning two VMA moonmen was so amazing. Not only for our music but for dance video and best dancing in a video, as I started as a dancer that meant so much to me, and being able to speak out on behalf of all dancers out there and letting them no we are what makes music look good and we’re the reason behind what makes every performance a blast to watch.

So what’s in the near future for you?

I have quite a few plans when I get back home to record some more songs and to write more blogs and developing my Beautiful Movements storefront with lots of different things that you should how fully be able to see quite soon.

I went on the site I love your tattoo which says.. Love life.

Thank you! I need my reminders! Life’s a journey and happiness is a journey and I try to live that every day, even if I’m brushing my hair and I see that tattoo I’m like “oh yeah, remember, it’s time to smile and live in the moment!”

We also noticed that on some of the Pussycat Dolls CD’s that Nicole is credited as ‘featuring,’ does this mean the end of the dolls as we know it?

The Pussycat Dolls has been such an incredible platform for us and it’s been such a light in our lives and offered us so many opportunities but at the end of the day it is a brand and a creation by Robin Antin and we’re just happy to have been a part it and I can’t say what will happen in the future because I don’t have a say. I am just so happy to be a part of it and I will ride the train until everyone makes me get off!
