I am an experienced model, starting at 18 with the usual Jackie magazine story strips (remember those?), progressing onto camera clubs and suchlike in my early 20s. I appeared magazines and my images were displayed around Europe in various exhibitions. I stopped at 25 feeling I was getting too old (ha, little did I know!) In 2006 I briefly flirted again with modelling and appeared on the cover and inside Lush Cosmetics Forum charity calendar for 2007, but didn't follow it up. However I've started again, and have been delighted to find that there is a much better market for leggy petite older models than in previous years. What a relief!
I love working outdoors and am not averse to being humorous or bizarre if required. I enjoy character work too. I'm flexible, often being able to work at very short notice and don't take myself too seriously. I will do art nude, 'implied nudity' and 'implied topless' but not overt. I know my limits.
I'm a car buff, loving old classic cars in particular, I'm passionate about cooking and adore musical settings. I play the violin and sing and enjoy photography at both sides of the lens!
Please note that my dress and shoe size are UK. So that I'm a US 4 and my feet are a US 71/2
Although I will consider TF* assignments, unless I've already agreed to do one for you, I'm having to get very very picky about who I work with. If you ask and I say no, please don't take it personally. Thank you for your understanding.
I am able to offer full studio facilities with various sets etc at a reasonable rate should you need them.
Thank you for looking at my profile. It's appreciated.

Had the pleasure of meeting Rita yesterday whilst shooting with Tom Brett at the Witney Motorshow and did a few shots together. She's the first model I've worked with and she offered some great advice, was welcoming and easy-going. She's such a fun person and has some great tips and tricks that will prove invaluable to all newbie models.

June 2009 - wow what a great day. Rita organised an all day studio shoot with models, fashion designer, hair stylists and yours truly as the tog. Everything went just great and as ever Rita was the life and soul, dispensing good advice and always fun to be with even as the long hot day wore on! Highly recommended - if you get the chance to work with Rita, grab it!
Nov 2008 - Rita has great "stage presence" on a shoot. She is punctual, beautifully presented and willing to try interesting ideas as well as contributing ideas of her own. A pleasure to work with, highly recommended!

Rita was a lovely model to work with and very apologetic to delays to the shoot that were beyond our control. She was full of great ideas and knew how to pose without any need for prompts. Got some great photos that I hope will be beneficial to both our portfolios.

Had the pleasure of shooting Rita this week. Excellent pre coms. Turned up with a number of oufits, as per my request and a good idea of what combination of accessories worked with each. Rita has great hair, excellent make up and a delightful figure. After the first hour Rita had relaxed and thus produce better poses with hardly any direction. The ability to give a different pose after each frame was paramount to the success of this shoot. Great personality, and loved working with her. Highly recommend. Looking forward to our location shoot.
