The Long Version
I got into this whole modeling thing because I like making art.  I can hold a pose for extended periods of time and, for reasons that I haven't figured out yet, really enjoy doing so.  Nudity is my preferred wardrobe, though I will happily don clothing if the concept calls for it.  There are neither tattoos nor piercings adorning my body.  I'm rockin' a full bush and underarm hair to boot.  I won't shave either for a shoot unless you pay me far more than would be reasonable.

My butt is planted in Colorado through the holidays.  After that, I'll be traveling through the southwest, up California, and through the Pacific Northwest.  From there, I'll be shooting back to the eastern half of the country for late spring.  If you'd like to see me in your town, shoot me a message.  I'll happily go anywhere that is financially viable, and I make that call based on who has expressed interest.  I won't know to come to you unless you let me know you're out there!

It is rare (though not unheard of!) that I will work just for images, but I will sometimes negotiate my rates down and request images as partial payment.  I am always willing to barter for some some combination of vegan foodstuffs, gas cards, indestructible dog toys, beautifully made corsets, camera and/or lighting equipment and/or software (I just got a Nikon D60!), etc.  Try me.  I would also be especially interested in bartering with somebody who could give me remote access to the journal database of a university.  I miss paroozing primary literature from the comfort of my bedroom.  Of course, monetary compensation works just dandy. 

If you'd like to work with me please give me an idea of the concept and proposed compensation when you message me.  If you don't specify otherwise, I will assume that you want to shoot fine art nudes, figure studies, bodyscapes, or portraits with me.  I can be contacted through MM or by e-mailing me at modelkarimarie AT yahoo DOT com.  Thanks!
