An Interview with Lisa Harvey
From the PaintBall.com Archives
You’ve
probably seen her face graced upon
the pages of KAPP catalogues or posters,
but
now you’ll see her face on the field behind
a mask, giving you the lesson of a
lifetime:
Don’t underestimate female ‘ballers!
Australias own Lisa “Hot Pants” Harvey is
the newest
addition to the Femmes Fatales Dye Girls,
the very
well-known all-female paintball team, and
she wants to let everyone know she is "here
to ball.”
Before hooking
up with the Femmes, Lisa
Harvey started modeling for KAPP. Though Harvey played
the sport in the past, when she would go to
tournaments she was only there to represent
her company. Now that she's
here to play she gets to do both. “At
first it was
all about T&A," she shrugged, "People
thought I
was
only here to represent a
company.”
“I listen
to a lot of music,”
says
Harvey explaining how she prepares for a
game, “I like Korn or anything real
aggressive.”
At the Las
Vegas Open, she made her 5-man
debut with the Femmes. She first played
last
month at Beyond 2002 with the team in a 7-
man event, but
Vegas was her first international
event. Now that she’s a player and not
just
a pretty face, Harvey says “It’s a whole
new
respect, I'm not some regular
chick that comes here to look at boys, I'm
here to play!"
Based out of
Southern California, Harvey is
surrounded by some of the top players in
the
world. She plays regularly at SC Village
with the guys from Avalanche, Dynasty and
SC
Ironmen. “I’m just one
of the guys," she laughed, "we go out and
party.”
So, she plays
on arguably the best looking
team in paintball, practices with the
worlds
top ‘ballers, and has done paintball
modeling. “My brother got me into
paintballing," she explained, “I liked it
right away, but I
had to go back home to Australia.” The next
time she returned to the USA, she was
picked
up by KAPP as a model and didn't play much.
Now, she’s
playing hard core with the Femmes, while
her
brother, Steve Harvey, plays with
the Bushwackers. For now, Lisa Harvey is focusing on her
play
with the Femmes Fatales Dye Girls and
getting better with each time out. If you
