Librarian by day, pin-up by night! I run Pin-Up Parade, which started as a site to showcase Europe-based pin-up talent. Basically so many girls had lovely photos but if they didn't have their own website, they didn't have anywhere to put them. So I put 'em on Pin-Up Parade! A year ago, I added a shop to the Galleries, because me and my friends were finding it so hard to get hold of repro vintage clothing in the UK.

The first time I modelled was kind of by accident when I did a magazine cover when I was 18. Someone said I was related to Jean Shrimpton, and the bloke running the magazine thought that was adequate to qualify me as a cover girl! Alas, it turns out that I'm not related to her after all, but heck.

I do posing for fun, although I model stuff for my shop occasionalyl, and I've modelled plus size fancy dress costumes for a hire shop (and it was still fun!). I've been in a couple of calendars and was interviewed in a UK national newspaper about girdles!
