Please read my entire port before messaging me about work. Also, please don't ask me for porn, fetish, or videos.

ATTENTION, ADVERTISERS: I am currently selling ad space in the Miss Earth United States pageant program book for only $75.00 per ad, which will be distributed at the national pageant this summer to people from all over the nation! I only have ten spaces, so don't delay! Get your ad space in a nationally-seen booklet!

SHOOTS I WOULD LOVE TO DO:
*40's-60's retro coca-cola-esque pinup
*bathing suits on lake michigan
*more calendar work
*something REALLY colorful, playful, and fun (candy colors, etc)


I have been modeling since 2001, when I graduated from Barbizon modeling academy. I am interested in anything classy and fun. I am currently looking for paid assignments; I will do limited tfp/tfcd ONLY if the right opportunity presents itself, and if I am given compensation for gas. Why? THIS IS MY JOB, and I have done enough tf* to last me a long while. None of us can afford to be traveling without compensation, gas prices being what they are, and, finally, I have massive student loans to pay!


In addition, I request that you give me ample time to prepare for a project. I realize that many of you shoot on short notice, but I need a few days to organize, schedule, and generally do my absolute best for YOU.

ART/GLAMOUR/FASHION

Most of my experience is with art, fashion, and glamour photography. I love being a part of something that is truly original and truly unique, and if asked, I will gladly give my ideas.

I also have experience as an artist's model.

RUNWAY/PROMOTIONAL

Even though I am only 5'5, I do have runway experience. I love runway, I am good at it, and because I have long legs, I look taller than I really am. I am comfortable walking, running, and dancing in heels 5 inches and under. I have done promotions for Nicorette Gum, Vital Radiance Cosmetics, Jameson beverages, and Malibu beverages (salsa dancer).


OTHER

I have 3 years experience acting, as well as 3 years experience in an advanced all-women's choral ensemble. We consistently brought home top scores at state choral competitions. My range is first soprano to first alto.

I have been dancing since i was 7, and have experience in ballet, tap, pointe, lyrical, modern, traditional and modern Irish dance, hip hop, belly dance, and tradititonal west African dance. I have some experience dancing in heels while singing from the choral group.


PAGEANTS

I have competed in pageants since 2005; I have experience in the USA, MAO, and Earth systems. Last summer I was awarded the "United States Miss Photogenic 2007" title, and this year I was awarded the Pageantry Magazine Spirit Award at Miss Earth U.S. 2008, and placed 11th overall. I am the current reigning Miss Earth Michigan, and my contract requires that I not pose for nude shots.


I am an aspiring makeup artist, and am starting to build my mua portfolio. I have just made a second mm account for that, which is here: http://www.modelmayhem.com/731570 .


If you are interested in working with me, please don't hesitate to contact me here! I am excited to work and an "exceptional model," which is a quote.
