"With me, there is always more than meets the eye..."
-Lady Scarlett
I am interested in beauty and art, creativity and imagination,
creating or capturing a moment in time.
Throughout history the curvaceous and voluptuous woman was considered the ideal. Then came the 1960s and the “Twiggy” era of “Thin is In”.
After 40 years of being ridiculed and shunned by society’s beauty standards, the revolution has begun to reclaim that curvy women are beautiful, sexy and SASSY!
I am looking into Specialty Plus size modeling,
especially glamour/pin up and fetish/goth.
I'm pretty open minded and sensual and like that to come out
in my pictures.
I love the art of Olivia De Berardinis.
I have had erotic photographers approach me for topless
and bi/bondage/fetish projects and I don't mind that
but I want to pose for PLUS size modeling projects also,
not just topless.
I am interested in sexy, sensual, edgy, beautiful and artistic..
Lingerie and implied nudes...
I will consider topless for PAID assignments.
No porn.
Implied nudes are acceptable.
This is art to me, not pornography.
Obviously, I get approached by many photographers for topless, which I have only recently started, but that is not all I am interested in, nor what I want to be known for.
If I do topless or questionable adult content,
I have my own photo release that we will discuss.
My goal is to create a diverse portfolio.
It has almost been a year now since I first started modeling.
I realize now I have much more control of my images and want what I want as well as what the photographer wants.
Some of the photographers on here are gwc's (guy with camera)
who just want to see women with their clothes off.
I have no patience for photographers looking to hook up or get cheap thrills.
Let me say that again, I have no patience for photographers looking to hook up or get cheap thrills.
I would like to create something beautiful, profound and artistic or just something fun and different.
A good photographer will see me for the model I am and know we can create something great, topless or clothed.

I want to cover a wide scope of emotions in my images.
I also would like to do some editorial and commercial images.
I have tons of ideas for shoots,I just need photographers to share my vision or give me some of their own.
I love themed shoots as well.
Would love to do something with wild makeup, crazy wigs, shoes and props...
Just go wild with it and have fun!!!
I do my own makeup but would wholly embrace working with a great MUA.
This is my passion.
I love to create and experiment and am fun and playful.
Give me some direction and let me GO!
I'm all for the look and feel of it..
Ask any of my photographers, I am a joy to work with!
A model's "presence" gets her the job;
a model's "personality" keeps her the job.
A modeling shoot is a COLLABORATIVE effort.
I am always professional and expect the same.
"It's tough to say what makes a client book a particular model for the first time, but I think that clients tend to work with me again because of my professional attitude. To me, professionalism has a lot to do with taking care of the small details, and doing it consistently. I think dependability counts for a lot with clients. My goal is never to be a part of the chaos. I try to be one less thing they have to worry about, and I think that attitude is appreciated. plus models are beginning to become prominent role models for young women, and are starting to provide a counterpoint to the images adolescents see everyday in the mainstream media.
It is my hope that plus modeling becomes even more integrated into the mainstream as time goes on. As voluptuous, curvy figures become more common on television and in magazines, the appreciation of classical femininity can't help but further permeate the collective unconscious and that is good news for everyone." -Plus Size Model, Gabrielle Taber
"You must remember the value that you add to others
and NOT the just what others have added to you."
-Suze Orman
I am not mainstream model material and am not looking to get rich on this and have no pipe dreams of making it super big.
I’m a little fish in a big pond, but I SURE enjoy the swim!
I am bigger than the average plus model of size 12 and up,
but I'm quite curvy.
Im a 42DD/DDD, with big thighs and have a very "plump" rump.
Some photographers will like that, some will not.
I'm looking for a photographer who wants a woman who is soft, voluptuous and curvy,
someone who appreciates the more hourglass, buxom, plus size figure.
I am comfortable posing alone or with someone.
I think a woman's body is beautiful;
the curve of the breast,
the indentation of the waist and hip,
the tilt of the neck,
Art in it's purest form....
Shot with Contemporary Rockets again.
This time we did stills and clips for another 60's movie.
What fun!
We did candid bedroom shots, nudes and implied nudes.
Rarely, does a woman find a man who sees her the way she wants to be seen.
I was astounded at how astonishingly beautiful these pictures came out.
A wonderful photographer, a wonderful collaborator!

What fun! Already planning our next session in March.

Glamour Shoot with WayneB and Vikki Lynn
Shot on location at the Partridge Creek Mall
in front of the fountain.
We had many strangers (ie, men, come up and get in shots with us) Too funny.
The security guard came over after half an hour and asked us to leave,
so then we went to downtown Mt. Clemens.
Did the rest of the shoot in the gazebo,
by the water and some wooded areas.
Did some Marilyn Monroe-esque shots. Was a lot of fun.
Wayne and Vikki Lynn are a lot of fun and creative like me.
We collaborate well together.
We have already become friends and shooting with friends is always a great adventure!

Exotica 3 Fetish/Glamour shoot with Larry Bradby.
Got some great shots in an abandoned warehouse in Detroit
and the Leland Hotel basement.
04/08
Just did a 1960's Underground type of movie.
Was fun, artistic and sexy. No porn, just alluded to the extortion type films of that era.
I put a lot into makeup, wardrobe and the character itself and get a few creative credits and a movie poster featuring ME!
Something to add to the thesbian resume.
Looking forward to doing more with the producer,
we have a great cohesivesness and he is quite profound and interesting to work with.
He is already planning his next movie and I am looking forward to expanding my acting horizons in this new, psychologically demanding role.

Emotional Photography Shoot with Christopher "Chef" Jones
It was a bit difficult, being "unpretty" on camera at first,
but I know a good model needs have to more than one look
and I will do almost anything for the sake of the art..
All in all, I am quite happy with the shots!
Artistic and edgy, not just pretty fluff..
10/07
Extra in the vampire movie, "After The Blood Rush" in Hamtramck MI.
8/07
Glamour Shoot with Lewis Dennison
Thought we were gonna do some more bondage/fetish.
We still have to experiment with elbow ties and some other stuff...I'm slowly getting my feet wet bondage-wise..
I bought a Bettie Page wig and a red vamp wig this weekend..
but we ended up doing some glam, lingerie and fun shots instead.
08/07
Bondage Shoot with Darker-Side-of-Midnight Photography
Tied up, bound, helpless...an experience..
07/07
My first shoot after joining Model Mayhem
was with Christopher "Chef" Jones
At first I was stiff and self-conscious,
but then after a while I relaxed
and I had ALOT of fun.
We tried to capture a variety of moods.
I think we got some great shots.
Considering it was my first shoot,
it was fun and memorable.
Interested in working with me?
Have ideas for a shoot?
Send me a MM message or email me on yahoo or myspace.
