About me
http://www.nad-iksodas.com/blogposts/lelabanner.jpg
First, I love to have fun and laugh.  If that isn't happening, it's time to find something new...

My life is changing in EVERY way right now, so please be patient with me in returning messages.  I will as soon as I am able, but am between 2 states and homes a lot right now.

-----------------------------------------------------------
News and Schedule:
I am now living in the Toledo area.  I still for the time being have a residence in Detroit as well.  I will travel within 2-3 hour drive for any work.  I am now modeling FULL TIME for the time being and will travel anywhere my expenses are paid and a rate is agreed upon.  I can negotiate within ranges that will usually work for most... but I have NO money to absorb costs of my own (even gas) while going through a move and MANY personal issues.

I most likely will not be doing trade right now at all. 


Other random stuff:
*Any projects involving corsets (yours or mine), I'm interested!!

*Any futher projects involving clothes (as long as you have a stylist or you have the clothes you want), I'm willing as well.

*Naked is just what's natural for me.  Don't ask me why, but I'd walk the streets naked (and have for shoots) if it were allowed!

-----------------------------------------------------------
I do VERY few trade shoots... ever.  I am a college student (again), so I will have somewhat more limited time, and a MUCH greater need for the income then even presently existed. This is my ONLY source of income.  Thank you for understanding!  Just ask me for my rates, they are very reasonable, and I can usually work out SOMETHING if really needed!

I work with mostly fine art photographers...though am open to many styles.  I prefer nude modeling, but I LOVE fashion as well, as long as you're not relying on ME for all the styling!  Picking out lots of good outfits alone kind of stresses me out!  I adore working with a team of hair/MUA, etc.  I often shoot up to "implied clothing", as one very humorous photographer put it!  I'm always looking for new and creative ways of using the female form.  I love to collaborate with photographers who have a ton of ideas (or great stylists!) and can find the ones they believe I will fit into the best. 

I have my nose pierced and my navel.  I will gladly remove the navel piercing, but I must have advanced notice if you wish for the nose piercing to be removed.  I'm a size 4/6, and have hips and thighs... NOT a size 0, so if that's what you're looking for I'm NOT it! 

I'm a classically trained musician... always have been.  It's just part of who I have been since childhood, even though I don't perform anymore.  I was also a full time swimmer in another life.

If you need me to travel to you (i.e.-plane ticket and/or hotel room) I must have my expenses paid in some form.  I always reserve the right to bring my own third party, though I don't usually feel it's necessary if we are able to talk enough in advance that I understand your visions pretty clearly.  I don't work with a large number of photographers.  I prefer to work with a smaller number, that I can consider friends, and make something of artistic value and worth looking at more than once.  I'm VERY layed back and fun to work with, and absolutely love what I do (especially with music involved!).  All makeup and styling is done by me unless otherwise credited.  I sometimes may potentially have access to a basic studio in the Toledo area.  If you are interested in traveling TO ME to work together, I am sure something can probably be arranged for basic studio space if you desire.

I am also VERY open to being an artist model for a single artist, or any size group.  I am very comfortable with it, and enjoy the experience.

If you STILL want to read more about me, feel free to check out this interview of me on Univers d'Artistes.  Almost all your questions should be answered between here, that, and my blog!  If not, ask away!!  smile


(and my ethnicity, for those that keep wondering... is mutt.  Yep, like the dog... mutt.  I know parts of it, like Native American and British, but it's too mixed to even really bother taking much of a stab at!)

And YES... I AM ALL NATURAL.  I have never had ANY kind of plastic surgery.. and if I'm asked ONE MORE TIME about it, especially pertaining my breasts... I may just throw something!!  (sorry... just needed to get that out!)  smile

I adore film... and black and white images.  Not to say I do not have incredible images from digital media, or color... but to me, there is nothing better then an incredible film image!
