***NEWS FLASH: MY BABY AVA-VERONICA WAS BORN ON NOVEMBER 5TH, 2008...A little early but just perfect:)***
*** SEE NEW FULL SETS OF ALL MY PHOTOSHOOTS ON DEVIANTART:

My primary passions are dancing, posing/modeling, photography. I am both an experienced and aspiring model.
I am a Burlesque dancer/performer but my style of performance differs from the "classic/pin-up" style of burlesque that is much more common & mainstream. I am a self-taught dancer combining different moves/techniques & creating a very unique style. Dancing is my second nature, I knew to dance before I learned to walk
+++I CAN BE BOOKED TO PERFORM FOR SHOWS, FOR OTHER BANDS, MUSIC VIDEOS, PROMOS ETC. (DANCE)+++
I am on MM looking to work with professional & reputable photogs, however if you are new but your work appeals to me & impresses me, I will make an exception. The same goes for compensation: I will work for paid projects primarily when subject matter includes nudity (rates will be discussed according to shoot), however if your style of work attracts me or if it is to build your portfolio, I will work with you at no charge (if possible, paying for my transportation would be a big plus) but will expect to get copies of the prints so I can add them to my portfolio as well.
I have very strong work ethics & therefore if you work with me, you will get a professional, cooperative, respectful, punctual, curteous and serious model. I get along with people very easily and can take directions. Although I am keene on edgier, provocative, dark, artistic, nude and other types of photos along those lines, this does not mean I am open to or will tolerate any lewd and creepy behaviour, odd comments, vulgar language, sexual advances from the photographer in question. Professionalism is at the top of my list. Nude shoots, fetish shoots, unconventional shoots, dancing etc...are my ways of expressing myself, they are artforms and do not define my character or lifestyle. I am straight-edge (look up definition if unsure), my only vice is smoking.
The focus is always mainly on alt. modeling looks and the following are the types of looks / types of shoots I am interested in doing & feel most comfortable with as well (However, I don't want to be pegged as solely an alternative/fetish model - I am open to any artistic projects):
-I LOVE BLACK&WHITE PHOTOS. -High fashion. -Punk. -Editorial, commercial.- Dark, creepy, edgy. -Pin-up looks but with a gorry and hard twist. Blood etc. -Burlesque. -Fetish. Latex. -Weird, Macabre, Controversial. -Dark glamour. - Old hollywood glamour. - BETTY PAGE. -Nude (but in a very specific range, which will be discussed before-hand). -Severe looks & themes. -War themes. Renaissance, Victorian themes. -Classic looks. - Etc.
- (This is not an all inclusive list, as I may forget some, so if another type of project is suggested to me I will be glad to discuss it and take it into consideration as I am flexible & do not limit myself to one specific genre/style)
Some specifics: I have a labret piercing, two small tattoos on wrists (one on each wrist) & a tattoo on my upper back in old english writing that goes from shoulder-blade to shoulder-blade. A tattoo on my left forearm, tattoo half sleeve on my right arm/shoulder and latin script acroos my clavicles/upper chest area. some pictures can be viewed on deviantart.com:

I was born in Germany but have been living in Montreal for many years. I speak English & French fluently & althought my German has sadly washed off over the years, I am still able to understand it to a certain degree.
I will leave it at this for now, so therefore if you are interested in working with me, please contact me through MM first.
