How long have you
been involved in the erotica/pinup world? What got you
started?
I began 3 years ago with just a few snapshots
to enter a magazine
contest..the magazine loved them, but looking back on
them, they aren't my
best work. I had that "deer caught in the headlights"
look on my face..not
very erotic. I have become quite a bit more comfortable
in front of the
camera since then!
How long has your website been online?
Was it hard getting it started?
What inspired the website?
My website has been in existence for only
one year, but its success has
built upon itself steadily. I have had a huge amount of
support, and
recieve up to several fan emails a day! I never expected
to make such a
mark on people.I began the site after being turned down
by several modeling
agencies...their response to looking me over like a slab
of beef was to tell
me that I was "far too old and too short" The mainstream
fashion modeling
world just isn't quite ready for the real woman's body
or pin up modeling,
so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I became
my own manager,
and designed a website as an "online modeling portfolio"
to spread my
pictures to a greater amount of photographers and potential
jobs, rather
than sending my photos to various places by mail..less
money on postage, and
greater exposure.
Have you had any negative experiences
with your site or its users? How
did you deal with them?
Haha..apart from a few sudden and strange
marriage proposals, feedback has
been overwhelmingly positive If anyone gets too fresh
with me though, I just
give them a heapin helpin of sassy attitude.
Do your friends and
family know about your site? How do they feel about
your site?
Certain members of my family are indifferent
but my mother is
quite upset with it. I can understand seeing your daughter
in skimpy
clothing with a "come hither look" and how that could
be disturbing.
Has anyone ever recognized
you from your site, like at the mall or
something?
Not yet, but the majority of viewers seem to be in other
parts of the US or
the world, not in Dallas, Texas.
What type of movies
do you like, what types of music?
I love classic movies, 20s-50's especially film noir and
musicals..I'll
admit I'm a Turner Classic Movies and AMC junkie..having
dark circles in the
morning is plenty worth it! I'm also a classic horror
movie buff..
< insert thunder and screaming sound effects here>
Music is a major part of my life..I love classic swing
and jazz, torch
singer gals, and new bands with that style like the Squirrel
Nut Zippers.. I
can switch from a Lady Day cd over to an 80's cd by Siouxsie
and the
Banshees or the Cure in an instant..I lived, breathed,
and ate new wave
music..tasty. Brit pop is another one of my favs.
How do you feel being
'online' with your photos has affected you?
I have loved the creative expression it has provided me...I
have a love/hate
relationship with my modeling career, due to my perfectionistic
tendencies,
but when it comes right down to it, I couldn't live without
it.
About how many new
visitors do you get a month?
For some silly dilly reason, I have never had a counter
on my site, but I'm
working on it...
Is running your site
your only job, or do you work elsewhere?
I am also a professional make up artist, and love doing
theater make up..let
me know if you'd like a bloody scar or 20 years added
to your face..haha.
Who takes your photos,
or movies?
I have worked with local photographers and some from the
LA area.
Are you straight or bi-sexual or lesbian ?
Straight and spectacular!
What does running
a site do for you, is it just income, is it hobby gone
wild?
Both, dahhhhling!
What is the most
frequent question you get from your sites visitors?
"Oh gothic goddess, what is the meaning of life?"
What are your 3 favorite
sites to visit?
It would sound highly egotistical to say "my own" Oh well,
my own!
Secondly, this one is done by a fantastic sexy person
I know
http://www.halloweenman.com
Thirdly, http://www.ebay.com
40 million addicts can't be wrong, and it has
everything!
Please give me a
sentence or statement for all your fans?
I recieve and reply to each and every one of your letters
or comments, so
thank you for taking the time out to write lil ol me..you
have absolutely no
idea how much it means to me.
Please type a paragraph long bio about yourself...
My tireless effort to conquer the earth
with glamour and sass (my modeling
career) began but 3 years ago. Along the treacherous way
however, I have
managed to see a bit more of the world, and assisted women
in rethinking the
hatred of their own curves..who says you have to be a
waif or chock full of
silicone? One year ago, I started my own online modeling
portfolio which has
been very successful, and I have had a huge amount of
support from fans in
this short time. I sum up my modeling style, and my site,
as a hybrid of
gothic culture and classic 50's pin up, placing my role
models as Marilyn
Monroe and Vampira. My idolization of the glamour film
queens of the
20's-50's have in addition been an inspiration to my style.
The thrill of no
holds barred creativity and the love of being in front
of the camera, are
the forces that fuel my desire to model, I suppose for
as long as I possibly
can. Deadly Kisses!
