I specialize in beauty, commercial, art, and alternative modeling. I also enjoy the opportunity to create thought-provoking imagery.

I am a part-time model, weekly newspaper columnist, and full-time federal contract investigator. Although this makes me a busy woman, I don't half-ass anything, and that includes my modeling.

I have no tattoos or piercings and my skin is generally well-behaved. I believe in taking care of myself, so I don't smoke or drink, and I'm willing to tackle just about any task no matter how uncomfortable the position, how long/late/early the shoot, or how hot or cold the studio (or lack thereof) is.

Also, since May 2009 I've lost about 15 lbs. However, my measurements have not altered by more than inch or so. My accurate measurements are now: 34DDD/37"-26"-37"

UPCOMING TRAVEL and SHOOTS:


-note-
I am VERY selective when it comes to TFP.  I DO NOT do pornography nor am I fooled by "artistic nudes" of naked women on your living room floor or in the back yard.

***NOTICE***


For locations within 4 hours (Atlanta, GA, SC, most of NC, and Birmingham, AL) special travel arrangements can often be made easily.

Relevant notes/skills:

I am naturally very large-breasted (34DD/DDD), so designers should keep this in mind when working with fabrics that have little give (latex is not a problem, however).

I can tightlace down to 20" in a corset and run/dance/walk in the highest of heels. In non-custom corsets I wear a 22" waist.

I have a large wardrobe of high-end latex, custom corsets, goth, Victorian, steam and apocalyptic clothing; and I can alter my hair easily with the aid of faux bangs, extensions, ponyfalls, and wigs. 

While I am capable of some makeup and styling, I always appreciate the talents of a skilled MUA and hair stylist.
