*I use my friends list to keep track of people I've worked with, people I plan to work with, and people who's work I strongly admire.  This isn't myspace.*


I've worked with a variety of different photographers on a variety of different projekts. I mostly enjoy doing high fashion/fetish work, and also have a fondness for artistic and glamour nudes.
My other talents have been beneficial to some employers as well such as: spoken word show, body modification (flesh hook)performance, fashion design and contortion.
Erotic oriented work will be considered only if the projekt interests me and is extremely high quality.  I am an artist first and foremost!  .  I am NOT interested in boy/girl shoots unless the boy in question is my boyfriend, who happens to be incredibly good looking and not camera shy.  I am, however very comfortable posing and working with other females.

I am a seasoned fetish model with backround as a Pro Dominatrix.  I also corset train and am currently lacing down to a 20" waist.
I am looking mostly for paid assignments but am willing to do TFP if I admire the photographers work and am interested in the assignment, or for guaranteed tear sheets or publication.
I will NOT shoot TF* unless it is content that I can also use for my own various web projects.
If you want to hire me to model for your book, website or other project i think you'll find my rates more than fair.


I am willing to travel within reason and with enough advance notice.  I often travel around the northeast to CT, NYC, NJ, Philly, MA, NH, CA and NV and RI.  And also a few times a year to the west coast, particularly, CO, CA and NV

*PLEASE NOTE** I am generally booked up with shoots, stage shows and video work at LEAST one month in advance.  please take this into consideration when asking about bookings.

I have an exstensive fashion/shoe accessory collection and since I design the ability to make clothing custom for your shoot is always an option.  You can see my costume and styling work at:
www.myownbrain.com

Some noteable photographers I have worked with are: Steven Speliotis,Tony Nighthawk, Brian Mackey, Johnny Tattoo, Joshua Rubin and The Lovely Brenda, Bob Coulter, Tim Armstrong, the list of everyone I've worked with goes on and on!  I have plenty of references if you would like them.

If we are shooting TFP for the first time: I will only sign a release form AFTER I get my images from a photographer!  No exceptions!!  If this is a problem, I'm sorry, but I've done more than one shoot where I never get to see the photos we've create together!
When contacting me about a shoot please include as much detail as possible, including: location/pay rate, is hair/makeup provided/ studio or location shoot, what would be expected of me etc.
I have access to alot of really talented makeup artists if you'd like one for your shoot.

please do NOT send me a message asking if I'd like to work with you without any details!  I'm very busy, running two businesses myself, and also modelling professionally. 

In addition to modelling, I travel all over the US doing gallery shows, hosting events, partaking in Rites of Passage suspension group as a performer and piercer (yes, we hang from hooks, chances are I will NOT do this for your shoot so please dont ask)

I will NOT take out my piercings or cover my tattoos for your shoot, I'm sorry, this is who I am.  Accept it, or find an unmodified model.  I also get really angry when photographers photoshop out my scars,  they are part of what makes me, me.
That being said, as evidenced by my portfolio, I am capable of a wide variety of looks with the aid of makeup, hair, wigs and costume.
I do NOT do submissive shoots or shoots where I am tied up.  I've done a few in the past and enjoyed it, but it's not my favorite thing to do.  I will also NOT do shoots with cheesy fake blood and gore.  I WILL work with highly skilled FX artists tho!
