MODELING MINUTIA

Aw, come on! You love catty, coked-out bees trippin' each other up and down the runway, and pervy agents & photogs looking to cop a quick, free feel from a barely legal, legally bare female with smushed boobs, squashed self-esteem and a suppressed appetite!

I have substantial experience in the more mainstream branches of modeling, including catalogue, runway, commercial print, beauty, parts and hair, primarily in Paris and San Francisco. I've also gained some cred in the alternative and fetish worlds modeling for such sites as Suicidegirls and the Darkplay Network since I've been back in SF all hol(e)y and inked up.

I have modeled for(inter)national ad campaigns for companies like Allah's Sacred Earth Henna, magazines including Casting (Paris), indie designers such as Cotton Candy, evil corps like Cutex, boutiques the likes of Doria Salambo, hair salons and products a la Montesantos and Trevor-Sorbie, big names such as Etienne Brunel during Paris fashion week, etc.. Modeled/acted and-or danced in music videos for the Gipsy Kings, Probot, Was Not Was, Denis Jaquenot (Fr), Jacques Higelin (Fr). I worked for a prominent hostess and spokesmodel agency in Paris. Appeared in numerous commercials on French TV. Worked for Guerlain cosmetics. Recently, have shot for such masters of light and shadow as Larry Utley, Robert Guzman, Tom Houston, Frank Mullin, Collin Rae...

For foot worship, you can see me on www.Footnight.com and attend the Footnight parties. You can also come see me in the dungeon for a private session, and if you're good I might let you take my boots off.
