Profile Information:

What best describes your role in the industry?: Hair Stylist, Model, Performer
Tell us a little about yourself! (details or get declined): "Folks, here's the story of Minnie the Moocha. She was a red hot, hoochie koocha. She was the roughest, toughest freak. But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale." -The great Cab Calloway-

Welcome to my page! Make yourself comfortable! I'm a burlesque performer and model in the NYC area! I'm a really easy going kinda gal, and open to most kinds of modeling. I prefer pin up, being psychobilly swing kid myself, and I love the whole cheesecake aspect to it. I have a Bettie Page style, plus tattoos and piercings.
Piercings: Nose, Monroe, dermal opal on my chest, andothers you'll never see wink
Tattoos: I'm covered in them. I have a nearly complete sleeve, and others decorating my "translucently" pale skin. I'm proud of my work, so I wont cover them for a shoot. Sorry.

A few things I don't do, however. I don't do frontal nudity. I don't do anything trashy. I'm a very classy kinda gal.

I also don't ever come to a shoot alone (unless I already know the photographer or a model who has worked with them!). No offense, but I've met a lot of creepy people on here.

******I also don't pay for shoots, EVER, EVER, EVER. I buy or make my own costumes. I provide my own vintage hairstyles and makeup. Working with me is like working with a stylist/mua/hairstylist/and model-for the price of one!

********At this time (unless we have already discussed a shoot or I contact you!) I am only accepting trade work for tearsheets, or designers. My rates are beyond reasonable (I need travel and makeup kit expenses covered smile ). I'm very pleased with my portfolio right now, and have been in print about a dozen times!

********I'm far more interested in my burlesque performances! I sing, dance, and strip. I'm a classically trained opera singer and I have an extensive vocal resume (I sang jingles for years, you probably heard by voice on a commercial!). I'm so much more than a pretty face!

And did I mention I love runway? Well, I do, and unlike a lot of gals, I know how to walk in heels!

Also, I actually show up for shoots, on time. I just ask for the same respect from my photographers. If you need to cancel last minute, please, let me know. I'm not going to be a b**** about it, but I'd like to know ahead of time. I don't bite, promise!

I also am very capable of doing my own hair. I usually prefer this as I can do a better job than most hairstylists I've met. Please let me know ahead of time so I know what to pack in cases where I would have to provide my own hair and makeup.

I take a very active role in my shoots. I like to plan things, come up with concepts. I'm not one of those models who is just like "Whatever you think is best". So, if you need help planning a shoot, or ideas, let me know!

I am available to shoot pretty much any day of the week!

Sorry for the very large picture. He's 2 now and not much larger so still looking like a puppy.

Thx for the comment =)
Yeah, at the moment I have no intentions of getting famous or posting them, since I've never done it before, so its not like someones gonna tell him "Oh, I saw your wife on the internet today, sexy pinup shoot bla bla bla". I guess if I'll talk about it hell gets used to it, and he knows Im probably gonna do it anyway.

I really like the gift idea, maybe I should try it, so he can see how it looks like and get the fact that it isnt porn.

Hi sweety! In response to your slurpee machine explosion, I would gladly lick it off you ... just give me about 9 hours to get there!!!!!

I love your work gorgeous... you are so stunning! I will be in New Jersey in November to shoot with Viva Van Story! I don't know exactly how far I would be from where you are located though.

Keep in touch lovely and I would love to meet you!

Hehe! I know border patrol is always fun! That's funny that he is from Toronto! At least we are both familiar by the terrible weather over here... it usually takes a lot of people by surprise!

Well you are too beautiful and I wanted to know if you were ever interested in setting up a shoot here in Toronto I would absolutely be honored to do it with you! It's great meeting you and hopefully we will soon meet in person. I also noticed you were at Viva 13! I was there too and it was fantasic... can't wait for next year!!

I know the whole passport thing is just ridiculous. We are neighbors for god sake!! Um, I worked with some good photographers from the Toronto area although there are not many! But let's keep in close touch love and we will set something up. Let me know when you got your passport and I also requested you on your Myspace.

I'm so happy to meet you Minnie and we are going to do a shoot together that will bring all the boys to their knees!!!

XOXO
