October 6th, 1999 Interview
- After viewing your intriguing "fetish" snapshots, people will be interested in knowing how you were introduced into that genre of modeling. How did you learn about this market and what was the major reason you became involved in it?
I started modeling years ago by going to modeling school. I eventually went through three agencies without them getting work for me. So I took it upon myself to find work.
I started putting pictures of myself up on the Internet and having sites built but none of it was permanent. Now Shaktisound has a site for me that they keep up to date. I get most of my work through the net. Message boards really are a good way too.
I have my own fetish of loving vinyl -- wearing glossy, leather-like clothing.
- How far are you into "fetish?" Do you do artistic, nude photography?
The only fetish work i do is basically vinyl. I do have a fetish series of videos I was working on. There is one video done and one in development. The first video contains a bunch of different fetishes. I also have a fetish for lingerie and dancewear.
Note that I DO NOT do nudes or porn.
- You advertise that you perform as a singer. What music do you sing? Are you under contract? How can someone find your work and purchase it? Is there an established person in the music business that you use as a role model?
I JUST STARTED singing. I am working on getting some songs out to Shaktisound Records. I am still working hard on these songs. My singing ability has caught the attention of three other bands that want me to sing for them.
I sing all kinds of music for this particular compilation but it is mostly techno, so I am doing a mixture. I don't have a contract and there's nothing to buy, ...yet.
- You have a distinctively sexy and macabre look that separates you from the army of plastic soldierettes in the modeling industry. Is this your intended specialty? How does your religious persuasion mesh with your career?
Yes, my look is my speciality. I think it's my eyes that make me look mysterious.
I do not follow a religion. It was never stressed in my life.
- What are your future goals?
My future goals are to be successful as a model, be a singer, and break my way into acting. After all the fame dies down, I would like to run my own business. My main goal is to reach the top and be the best I can be.
- Do you have any words of wisdom for young people who are considering a career in modeling or singing?
This is a tough business. People will put you down, start rumors and get vicious as you try to make a name for yourself. The expression I always live by is Don't judge a book by its cover. I get judged a lot but it makes me strong. I show these people that I'm not what they are judging me to be.
To succeed in this business you have to be strong and stay strong though the process. If you aren't a strong person, the business will eat you up. So all of you future models, STAY STRONG!
- What do you think of this site, The Liberator [www.liberator.net]?
I love the site! ...very nice. I like the picture tributes the best.
- How do you handle guys when they come on too strong?
If a guy comes on too strong I just ignore him. If you ignore the little bug it
will go away.
