I. . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . .love her!

She's great. Not only does she have a much more suitable background than many of the past models have had, but she also definitely sees Lara for what she is. A true role model for young women. She is focusing on the strengths Lara possesses. . .the confidence, the independence, the strict need for discipline and to keep oneself healthy. . .it's great!

No talk about tight costumes or cleavage from her in those videos. She was all about Lara as an epic figure metaphorically. . .not physically.

All the models have shown some stretch of devotion and dedication to becoming Lara, but I think Alison has taken it a step further by already possessing the physical strength (her arms are perfect) from her athletic background.

So what if her face doesn't look exactly like Lara's? Haven't we all been harping on Underworld Lara's face anyways?? I suppose you can't please everyone.

By the way, a big thanks to the moderators for keeping this thread under control. It can't be easy to keep things fair and remain unbiased when you're so involved in the threads yourselves. I support you most vehemently.

yeah letting someone know they're going to be awesome in what they're about to do is wrong. my bad lol jk

But in all seriousness,I get what your saying, if people had the email address or contact information she'd be spammed with god knows what lol.

We can show support by these forums and purchasing the game when it releases ^_^

Alright, I do like her now. I just saw her interview video and I was like, " She moves like Lara! She looks like Lara!" So maybe I was a bit too quick to comment...

Sorry Alison, I love you now! It was just a shock, 'tis all. Looking forward to more stuff from you in the future.

Best wishes, Rachie.

Well, I have been lucky enough to meet Alison, and she's really down to earth and so pleased to be Lara. She's really gutsy and you'll see that she's doing some really cool things to help bring Lara to life!

Anyway, my job has it's perks....


EPIC WIN BELOW

You guys!

Hehe, well, I've been passing on the good feedback as in fairness the majority of people love Alison and her gymnastic and gutsy approach to being Lara

I'm putting together a list of community questions for her to answer, if you guys have any questions please let me know in this thread and I'll try and get them answered

I posted one in Planet lara...so I might as well post another one Its kinda hard to think of some that haven't been posted before...

Can you tell us what sides of Lara's character you think you possess?
Are you with wires on swan dive picture released or can you actually do a swandive
Are the holstler comfortable because they kinda look like they are waving about too much

And is there anything you want to tell the fans?

Sweet deal Keir.

If possible you should ask her something like, What training if any does/did she have to go through to really show off her skills as the new Lara Croft and to perform to the best of her ability as well?

Lol Someone is enjoying himself arn't they Keir?

Question

Alison, you've got a long and exciting career of a Tomb Raider model ahead of you now so my question to you is, what aspect of that career are you most looking forward to and why?

Yes please!

By the way, you're lucky and nice photo!

Also thanks for replying on Planet Lara; Can I post a question for her about the underwater shots?

Like;
How excited were you, when you first heard you needed to go in a massive tank with no scuba gear?

How difficult was it for you?

I'll probably think of more but Kami's stole all my ideas!

EDIT- I hope they aren't rubbish questions

Nice pic Keir Awsome you got to meet Alison, what is she like in person?



Question:
(don't know if these have been asked)

What is it like being the famous action hero every person admires?

Are you expecting any cristim for taking the place of many other models?

What made you think "Yes Lara Croft will make me be the action hero i want to be?"

Have you ever done modeling before, if so how long for?

And last one.

I noticed you have a scar on your knee, how did that one come around and how many other injurys have you had doing gymnastics?
