Whether or not you believe in good karma or bad karma, after this post you’ll be a believer in Stiz Karma.
When I handpicked Stiz as the model for this very special photo shoot, it was a foregone conclusion that the images would be stunning. Physically, she’s almost too good to be true. Her face is so beautifully exotic, it’s overwhelming. Her marvelous body isn’t a product of surgery or Photoshop fraud, just a dedication to rigorous exercise. Although she isn’t a giraffe like your average runway model, Ms. Karma stands head and shoulders above her competition. Most people assume she’s Blasian (that’s Black & Asian for the slang-impaired) but Stiz is Indonesian. The tourism industry of Indonesia should cut her a check, because she makes it an attractive travel destination. When I finally met her at our photo shoot, I wasn’t prepared for how gorgeous she is. In the past, I’ve had my share of disappointments with bait-and-switch models who look nothing like they do in their portfolios. Cameras lie… but in the flesh, Stiz Karma is the truth.
However, what really made her stand out was her consummate professionalism and cordial demeanor. Stiz was an absolute pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her for your modeling needs. For those who don’t know, The Spizzy is expanding the franchise with Killer Gams™ magazine, which will be available in both print and digital formats (iPhone, Kindle, PDF… however you want it, I’ll serve you). These photos are just a few grams from the kilo of dope you’ll find stashed in the pages of Killer Gams… you’ll have to cop the magazine when it drops in August to see the full set. I guarantee it will be worth it. I chose a sheer black bodystocking for Stiz because her frame is symmetrical and the nylon looks so damn good clinging to her curves. She also has an array of tattoos and the bodystocking allows you to see them like X-ray vision.
Try as I might, no one can describe Stiz Karma better than the woman herself. As you check out the stunning images below, read my Q&A with Stiz to get a better understanding of what she’s all about. There’s also a lil’ behind-the-scenes video from our photo shoot. Follow her on Twitter @Stzness and peep Instagram.com/stzness for smokin’ hot pics. Support Killer Gams magazine when it drops, Thirst Mob. I’ll keep ya’all posted on the release date.
Take it away, Stiz…

Black Pacino: Why did you enter the modeling game?
Stiz Karma: Well, I never really chose to become a model but I always love a challenge. I am not tall, I am not your “average” model. I am tan, curvy, exotic looking and I am Asian with tattoos. I represent those who have a vision that others said you couldn’t achieve because of whatever circumstance and I’m here now to say you can do whatever the hell you want. I’m very friendly and met a lot of amazing and talented people along the way. The friends I met would ask to take pictures of me for their clothing line and portfolios because I look different and my personality is just out there (laughs). And from there, people would see my pictures or meet me and would want to work with me. I guess you can say I gained a new found passion for modeling and I want to conquer the industry with a bang.
Pacino: Aside from modeling, what are some of your other interests & career goals?
Stiz: I love singing, fashion and helping out the impoverished. Music is what takes you to a different place. It enhances or helps you forget about the troubles of the world for those 3 magical minutes. And there’s so much sadness in the world with the poor and the hungry, and the children who don’t have a home. It always feels good to help out. My family and I donate to foster homes and try to spend time with the kids by taking them out to eat and visiting them back home in Indonesia. And I would love to get my hands on my own clothing line. I just have so many ambitions and dreams and I’m just getting started! (Laughs) But sometimes you just have to step away and take a deep breath. You can’t do everything, and you can’t help everyone. And that’s where music steps in.

Pacino: When it comes to men, what are your turn-ons & turn-offs?
Stiz: Turn-ons would definitely be ambitious men with goals and a great smile. Oh… and you’ve gotta be a Knicks fan haha. My turn-offs would be bad manners, and people who don’t tip well.
Pacino: What’s the worst pick-up line you’ve ever heard?
Stiz: I’m from New York City so I’ve heard them all (laughs). I wouldn’t say worst, I think they’re all creative and they make me laugh but definitely when a guy references a hip hop song and incorporates it into it. I love hip hop and I think it’s hilarious when they sing a line to me. Or when a guy flat out goes, “3-4-7…” (Laughs) That’s great.

Pacino: If you could do a photo shoot with one celebrity, who would it be & why?
Stiz: What a tough one, Black Pacino (laughs). I’d have to say Beyonce of course. She is just Queen Bee. But somewhere and something really dope like the Mojave Desert with machine guns and driving around in tanks.
Pacino: What kind of music do you listen to? Who are some of your favorite artists?
Stiz: I love all sorts of music but hip hop and R&B is what takes my heart. I’ve been really feeling The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky, 2 Chainz, Wale and everyone out there in the music industry grinding. But I also like music like Lana del Rey and Amy Winehouse. I have such an eclectic taste, I love all music. There’s a song for every mood.
Pacino: Where do you envision yourself in 5 years?
Being the best (laughs). Nah, I still see myself modeling, singing, having a clothing line and being a Jill of all trades while taking care of my family, the ones that I love, and the ones who need it. I am nothing but a giver and a pleaser… and I represent the hustle.
