Biography

    I am easily your girl next door, even if I am worldy and well traveled.  I was born in Oberlin, Ohio and raised  in Vermilion,  Ohio ,  which is small fishing town,  on the shores of  Lake  Erie.  My childhood town had an east coast or New England feel,  with lovely cottages on the lake.   Growing up my home was a beautiful historic antique filled home.   I come from a family who celebrated the arts.  During the duration of my childhood,  I took art classes, drawing classes, music classes,  dance classes,  and theater classes.  I favored performing and loved any chance I had to ham it up.  I loved performing so much I became interested in musicals of the 30's and 40's.  That is when when I  became enticed by the glamour of the stars of yesteryear.   I loved escaping into the elegance of,  film stars such as Betty Grable,  Rita Hayworth,  and Jean Harlow. 

  Into my teen years,  I continued to have a curiosity in art deco glamour.  I began collecting art deco period items such as clothing and hats.  Mere collecting took hold of me,  and I quickly found myself learning the details of dressing vintage,  and proceeded to dress in the style as fequently as possible.   I loved how marvelous the elegant foundations were.  Girdles,  garter belts,  corsets,  and full fashioned seamed stockings,  danced in my head!  I was soon on a mission to find my first corset.  I found a company on line that made customs corsets and  waited weeks for it to be delivered to my doorstep.  The day finally came and I slipped on the corset and loved how it squeezed my wasp waist.   I also found  I loved the hugging sensation of the corset and I began to wear the corset daily because of the way it looked and felt,  it made me feel powerful,  elegant,  and sexy. Just like the femme fatales I desired to be.

   I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the rest of  my life.  I had an interest in becoming a make-up artist,  but also wanted to go to college and study art since, I had a natural talent in drawing and painting.  But deep down in my theartical heart I desired to become a performer.  I soon found myself studying at Bowling Green  State  University.   I loved painting class,  and creating dream like work similar to my favorite artist Salvador Dali.  I also found myself engrossed in writing classes and spent hours working on plays and theater productions.  I found I loved working behind the scenes,  as much as on stage.   My short college years were a big period in artistic expression for me, until I got the modeling bug!

  When I wasn't studying,  I found myself  rediscovering,  cheesecake and fetish images of Bettie Page.   I also learned a vast majority of the models in mens magazines were burlesque dancers.  I also discovered work of photographers,  such as Peter Gowland,  Bill Hamilton,  Bunny Yeager,  and Elmer Batters.  I desired to be one of those fetish pin-up's I saw in the men's magazines.   Little did I know my wish would someday come true.  I started nude modeling for local artists,  to help pay the bills.  Word quickly got out that,  I was a wonderful fine art nude subject to photograph or draw because I have such graceful movements.  I  then dyed my blonde locks magenta and had my bangs cut blunt. I colored my hair black because black locks photographic the best with black and white photography.  I soon learned of a modeling website, and made a profile.   Then I also, made a small free website as a small portfolio I could refer photographers to.  My timing couldn't  have been better since, the world of the internet was starting to explode in the early 2000's.

    I was about 18-19 years old when I had my first taste of the fetish/bondage world. I was hooked. My introduction was honestly because of my choice in fashion.  I learned my Victorian corsets, garter belts, high heels,  and stockings were considered fetish wear.  Little did I know I was such a fetishist.  My fashion choices attracted BDSM lifestyle friends to me and they gave me my first real introduction to the BDSM world.  It was only a matter of time before I started working as a glamourous fetish model.  Soon after, I found myself being rigged by some of the best in the world.  Living life like a modern Bettie Page.  

Fetishes

  I can appreciate most fetishes,  but I personally like spanking,  rope bondage,  discipline,  uniforms,  corsetry,  stockings,  latex, heavy rubber,  and stockings.  It's interesting talking to other people with diverse fetishes.

Beliefs

  I believe life is the process of self realization.  You must continue to sharpen your mind with,  knowledge and insight.   Having intelligence gives us complete power.  Everything but true freedom,  education, or  knowledge can be taken from you.  I believe a person isn't truly free until they open their mind.   I also believe humankind,  owes it to it self to work together,  by making tomorrow a better day.   Everyone should be treated how they deserve.  Life is a wonderful thing and I have a lot of respect for it. 

Marriage and Children

  I believe in marriage with the right person. I am currently unmarried, and I have no plans to change that.  As for children,  I like children but I also have no plans for having any in my future, I'm too young to think about all this!

Dominate or Submissive

   I would label myself as a mean submissive or a switch.

Stickler for Manners

  For the most part I do not follow popular culture.  I think it is boring and very dumbed down.   I am not interested in being common, I would rather be uncommon.  I am a stickler for manners andI do not put up with inappropriate behavior.  Etiquette was created for a reason.
