Hi there! Welcome to my page...
Let me answer a few questions you may have.
Who am I?
Hi! I'm Lena. I was born in Shanghai, China but came to the United States when I was about 3 years old. Lived in Kansas for a few years then settled in Madison, WI. Just graduated from UW-Madison and now will be working in Minneapolis. I am effervescent, reliable, and independent. I am hardworking and a fast learner.
What am I doing on MM?
I first started modeling last year after meeting Miss Kj Lynn #599565, who recommended Model Mayhem, and now I'm hooked. I have been honored to have shot with a range of photographers, MUA, and models so far.
I'm here to collaborate and work with different people to enhance my portfolio and explore different styles. I'm here to have fun, explore options, expand my portfolio and network! While I am interested in many different types of shoots, I am particularly interested in:
- Catalog/Print
- High Fashion
- Commercial
What else should you know about me?
I am a shopaholic and a eataholic. I love shoes and purses and jewelry and dresses and cute tops and blah blah blah. I love chocolate and sushi and Alfredo and curry, and everything in between.
So I have a very extensive wardrobe; and oh, the shoes!
I *am* allergic to Cats. And the color bright yellow. So please be mindful.
Concepts I am interested in shooting
- Something with Horses
- Couple
-- Classy (I like the Express and Ralph Lauren styles)
-- Romantic/Seductive
- Group shot - party scene
- Fancy clothes in a junkyard, windy, wild hair
- House wife with hair in curlers and doing trophy wife things
- Business/Commercial - I have plenty of suits
- Working out/gym, fake sweat beads
- Pile of Shoes
- Something with purses
FYI: My hair is currently dyed brown with golden/red highlights.

Ah yeah! I was thinking of nuke con which is in October.
Yeah it's 6 hours drive between omaha and minneapolis... but I have to say... it's a LONG 6 hours, depending when you travel and what route you take. I accidentally took a route that gave me a 9 hour drive... NINE HOURS! Not the best route, and seeing as how it's plains or corn and flat land it wasn't scenic. (february too when I went so... yeah barren)

hey lady, thanks!!! But, getting some photos taken doesn't make me a model. I'd have to become an alcoholic, I only take good pics when tipsy. :)

Hope you had a fun time last night. I know someone who was leaving a coffee shop to go hang out with you. :)
Could you do me a favor today and vote for me on the 18+ POTD? My face is in shadow, so you might want to check my port first, it's the second shot in there. I'd really appreciate it. :)
