First, thanks for taking the time to read this. I'll do my best to not bore you.
I am currently based in Seattle, WA, but I have lived and worked in Phoenix, NYC, Chicago, LA, Amsterdam, and Tampa previously. I used to work under the name Diabolica Robotica, but over the last 3 years, I believe that I outgrew that moniker, so I am now working under the name Lola Babalon.
I like to be creative. This does not mean, however, that I am limited to "alternative" or "fetish" or whatever other silly labels people like to use. For me, it's more of a challenge to step away from the latex and the gore and do a fashion shoot. I want to expand my portfolio and my horizons, and I pride myself of being both easy to work with and professional. While I am very experienced in extreme bondage, bdsm, and fetish shoots, and I love doing them, don't hesitate to ask me about any other ideas you might have. In addition, I am a skilled domina, and can perform medical scenes, play piercings, rope bondage, mummification, and more. I enjoy working with both male and female models, and would like to add more of that to my port.
I'll also come right out and say this: I don't find nudity or most "adult" work offensive. I know, I know, I'm supposed to write something here about how I will never ever get naked (unless perhaps it's for "art") but I am comfortable with myself and what I do. I believe it's everyone's right to make those decisions for themselves.
I am easily able to do my own styling, makeup and hair at shoots, though I would enjoy working with some outside people. It's always more fun to see what other people make you look like!
I'm a reasonable person and always willing to negotiate my rates for nude/fetish/bondage work. I enjoy collaborations. I like to feed off of the ideas of others and contribute my own to fuel the creative process. If you've got an idea that most other people would find creepy, disgusting, or insane, I'd love to hear it. For me, modeling isn't just about getting lots of pictures of myself looking pretty - I don't need the reinforcement for my ego. Modeling is about creating art, about pushing boundaries, and going places other people try to avoid.
One last thing - I never, ever take myself to seriously.
That's how you get old!
Ok, I lied: One other last thing!
Please feel free to check my Myspace for a lot of additional photos. Just please let me know when you add me that you are from MM so I don't ignore the request.
