Artist, Designer, Digital Artist, Model, Performer, Website
What creative phrase would you use to describe your style?
My style matches my contradictory personality: I am the ideal 1950s housewife who also happens to be a hyper-sexual, nerdy punk..like Tank Girl in the guise of June Cleaver.
Tell us a little about yourself! (details or get declined)
I am a hedonistic sensate, a lascivious pirate, a clumsy ninja...welder, gamer, pinup model, circus performer, fetish enthusiast, and artistic eccentric. I spend my days cooking and baking, working on various collaborations with other artists (including comics, plays, music, photography, sculpture, and more), and stuffing my brain with new knowledge. When the sun sets, I am dancing, singing, acting, or playing nerdy board games or video games with friends. I always make time for good food and good wine and other libations.
My industry experience includes modeling for artists & photographers (clothed and nude, artsy and fetish), exotic dancing, and being a striptease artist (burlesque). I am also a professional actor by trade, not just a pretty face. Being very health conscious, I take good care of what I have (plus, good fresh food is just so tasty!). I love to travel, and whenever I go on the road, I always try to find as much work as I can in the area of my destination to keep me busy while I'm there.
I've always loved and been enchanted by the styles of pinup and burlesque. They can show women as shy and meek but sly and full of guile, or dominant and powerful but with a distinct femininity; the setting and tone can be sweet, bright, and full of laughter, or sexy, dark, and oozing temptation. There is an old fashioned charm and a hint of mystery. Gypsy Rose Lee, Marilyn Monroe, Helen Kane, Bettie Page, and Emilie Autumn are some of my heroes.
I am quite fond of dressing up and modeling, but I also love working behind the camera and creating the costumes and the scenes for photographs. In addition, I am a carpenter, welder, set designer/dresser, and prop-maker. Make-up and hair are something that I can do very well, given enough time. I like to dink around with Photoshop and similar programs. Basically, I am the ultimate Jack (Jill?) of all trades.
As for what I want from PinupLifestyle...I want to network and make friends with like-minded fun and artistic folks. I want to work with a variety of photographers and other models and get a taste for everything while building up my pinup portfolio.
My Current Projects:
ApocalypticPinups.com is my gorgeous, mutated baby. Plotting/working on the AP project takes up a good chunk of my day.
I am also working on a website, dedicated to all that is sexy, punky, nerdy, funny, pinup-y, and fetish-y...I would like to find a regular rotation of photogs, models, web design folk, and more to keep on the team.
I am constantly coming up with new ideas and my brain is rarely set to "Sleep" mode. If you have some crazy, far-out vision that other people squirm at hearing, go ahead and ask me; I'm pretty fearless and I love weird'n'kooky times! My background in theatre has made me a big fan of collaborating with artists of all kinds, so I'm excited to see what we can come up with.
Pouty cheesecake kisses!
