My two main areas of interest are Parody (adding misplaced elements into classic shots, images that are both sexy and amusing), and Big Elaborate Outfits (wardrobe styles like Gothic Lolita, Steampunk and Historical Re-Enactment). I'd rather confuse, amuse or stun someone with an image than just 'look pretty'.

I am punctual, reliable, take direction easily, and will often bring my own paper sketches to a shoot to demonstrate how I would like an image laid out.

I am VERY fond of the Marie-Antoinette-era look – to me this is not 'dressing up', as I am most at home in a variation on it every day, just as Dita Von Teese is most at home in variations on retro-glamour every day.

I have long non-permanent dreads that change colour and length every month - I make them myself, and I like them looking tidy. I have an excellent collection of props and outfits, can sew any I don't already have, and can do my own hair/makeup to a high standard (provided I'm given time and mirrors to do it in if I'm travelling!).

In terms of body modifications, my ears look like pirate treasure (13 holes in each), my monroe is worn with a black labret like a Georgian beauty spot, and very few people need be concerned with where the other piercing is. No tattoos. All piercings can (technically) be removed upon request.

I enjoy doing virtually any level of graphic nudity, fetish or erotic shoots, provided the photographer remains professional. However, I will NOT be doing nude shoots for free - I got into this from a life-modelling background, where £25 p/hour for being good at being naked is fair.

There are few themes I won't try, but the ones I won't are: pornography to continental/self-touching, wearing real fur, realistic guns, butcher's blood/parts (if you're that keen on a vampire theme then myself or my partner are quite happy to donate REAL blood for it!).
