3-5-2012 Back after a hiatus due to living in another state!
~
Hello there! I'm mostly just a slightly crazy east coast born Italian girl living and loving life in beautiful (and also slightly crazy) LA.
Anyone can get a lucky gorgeous photo or three, and dramatic effect retouching isn't a hard skill to find anymore either, I want to work with people who have a creative energy of their own! I'm always willing to get down and dirty in attempts to make a beautiful photo, so I love the same passion for the art and beauty in people I work with.
95% of clothing, shoes, and jewelry worn in all my photographs are my own possessions and styled by myself nearly as often. I have an extensive random wardrobe and love to be a direct part of the creative process whenever possible. I can do my own makeup as well, but looooove to work with a real makeup artist/hair stylist!
Please only message me if it pertains to working together somehow. Comments, critiques, and marriage proposals belong in the form of photo comments and tags.
Trade is very limited but of course there are exceptions for the right photographer, team, project, and/or idea...tears and promotion make a trade request a much sweeter deal I must say!
I want images every which way; I can't stress enough how much I enjoy different looks, vibes, style, wardrobe, lighting, poses, and locations. It takes more than different bikini patterns on the beach to make a good picture no matter how thin the fabric or strong the retouching...in my opinion!
Piercings

- Tattoos -
Phoenix & Peony ~ full backpiece
Four Feline Paw Prints ~ right calf
Double Cherries ~ inside of right wrist
Eternity bracelet vine ~ top of right wrist
Calico "Lucky Cat" ~ inside of left wrist
Three small stars ~ behind right ear
~ Since I'm neurotic about symmetry and details in general, my tattoo's are very well done, maintained to their fullest, and though I have a lot of art on me; feminine. This is the only body I have, and it's beautiful regardless of the way I "draw" on it to mark my life.
(At the moment in life however, I cannot see myself with sleeves.) I like my work, they make me happy...and I'll very likely get a few more before my time in this amazing world is through.
^ Still sounds like a lot of tat? From straight on I still look pretty damn bare!
(I live specifically in the West Hollywood area.)
...and I'm even cuter in person. Seriously.

I’m of the 3 finalists in G4's E3 Booth Babe search, click the picture to watch the video, featured on "Attack of the Show" on June 10th and on G4.com!
Message me for full credits.
I have all around experience in acting, hosting, television, working conventions, and theater; as well as beauty, character, and glamour modeling.

My 'Model Mayhem member credit list' is and will remain shorter than most because I tend to be picky and planned, have to work my agencies jobs first, and try to work with talented people
off this site often too!
