About me
Black Betty- The Blues Pinup.

**Please note:  I just moved into the DC area and am looking to shoot with new folks.  I work with several local, prominent blues artists and would love to develop both beautiful and gritty images with them and alone.  Drop me a line if you're interested in this project or collaborating on any others.**

My name is Black Betty. I am a pinup and commercial model, touring blues and rock musician, and MUA/hair stylist.  I may have traded my ballet slippers for an electric guitar, but I'm still influenced by all things dramatic and over the top.

From the age of 5, I have been a professional model, and was first featured in Vogue in 1989 for Jessica McClintock.  My pinup modeling began as a means to have awesome promo pics for my music, but I received such great response and loved it so much that I continue to collaborate with artists.  I've been known to cover bustiers and telephone completely in swarovski crystals as well as belt out Led Zeppelin. 

I'd like to find photographers who would be interested in glamorous, pinup, dramatic, rock and roll, fetish (corset, leather and hosiery) and artistic/edgy shoots.  My looks are a far cry from All American, and pass for many ethnicities.  I am not interested in full nudity or explicit erotica, but will consider implied nudity for the right project.  TFP and paid both considered. 


**I tour as a musician often, but travel with advanced notice if possible.  Able to self style, including retro pinup.  If you have a project or idea you think I'd be great for, please feel free to contact me.~

**I am also available for hire as a hair stylist, specializing in retro pinup hair.  Makeup application also available.  MM# 310123~

Additional photos and links to my music and bands can be found on my site.  Feel free to reach me at blackbettyrocks@yahoo.com or here on modelmayhem.
