Hi! I'm Melanie, but you can call me Melly. I've been an avid cosplayer since I was a teenager. I make costumes and props. I also style and color wigs. In addition, I have done the majority of my own makeup that you see in my photos.
Cosplaying has opened the door for me into the world of alternative modeling. I've been expanding my portfolio within the past few years and would love to see it grow. I've been recently very active in the steampunk community and do many of my runway shows at Dorian's Parlor [doriansparlor.com].
I am represented by Charisma +2, an agency dedicated to showcasing gamer models [aka nerds like me!].
I am not on here looking for a date or a hook up, so any requests of the sort will be ignored.
IMPORTANT: If you are serious about working with me, please contact me through e-mail - dreamlandtea@gmail.com. I do not check this page as frequently, so often messages on here get missed.
- No tattoos.
- Ears pierced once.
- I
DO NOT do nudes, so please do not ask.
- I love being creative and would love to hear some of your ideas - the more unique, the better!
- I am fun and professional on set.
♥ Melly
