Welcome to my Biography. I expect your all wondering how I came into the bondage scene right? Well, here is a brief account of my history as to how I got started.
I was born in Southend, Essex in the United Kingdom. At an early age I liked to dress up and play with the boys, I was some what of a tomboy but at the same time was very inquisitive about the opposite sex. I guess at a young age I was kind of dominant towards the male gender, maybe even a bit bossy!
In my late teens I answered an ad in the local newspaper ‘The Southend Standard’ for a modeling job. I went for an interview, which involved doing some portraits and glamour, then some nudes. I felt very awkward at first but the guy that was my interviewer was very honest and straight forward. Turned out (lucky for me) that I was very photogenic. I did my first booking (as it was called back then) at the same studio I had been interviewed at. Wouldn’t you know it, one of the photographers happened to be my Dad’s best friend Peter Starling, anyway, he assured me that he wouldn’t say anything, not that I cared as I didn’t have a good relationship with my Dad anyway. My Family were fine with my decision to become a model, so at the tender age of 19 there I was getting more popular by the week. I started getting so many bookings as an amateur model that I quit my job as a manager at one of the local dress salons and pursued my career as a professional in 1964.
I joined the ‘Rosaleigh Ann Model Agency’ run by a gentleman called Mr. Walker or as the girls called him ‘Granny Walker’. He liked the girls to sit on his lap when he was interviewing them! I worked for him for several months, then was approached by the famous June Palmer to join her agency. Working for Granny Walker and June brought in lots of work, which included amateur group sessions at various studios, commercial stuff for advertising, magazines, auto shows, promotions, you name it, I did it. During the first year I became very successful and extremely well known on the modeling circuit and really enjoyed what I was doing, did I mention the money was good too!!!
I worked with many other famous models such as Nicky Stevens, Samantha Seager, Dawn Grayson, Annette Johnson, Penny Winters, Christine Jensen and many more, not to mention of course, June Palmer. June and I became the best of friends for a long time until she passed away. One of my jobs was for a photographer that was making vinyl and latex garments and wanted to produce a magazine to promote selling the stuff, not really knowing what a trend it started in as much as girls turning on guys and women just looking at the poses and garments. We also started modeling leather items, such as capes and cat suits, same kind that Honor Blackman wore on the ‘Avengers’ for those of you that may remember the ‘Avengers’ TV series. Next thing you know, I was doing more bookings for this type of modeling as it was getting very popular in the U.S.A. magazines. Some of the first magazines I appeared in were ‘Pussycat’, ‘Bizarre’ and ‘Latex Nurse’ among others.
I came to the U.S. in 1969 and got married to a U.S. Marine. I worked at the Playboy Club for about six months as a ‘Bunny’ then answered another ad in a Chicago newspaper for models. I worked as a glamour model for a few months, then was asked how I would feel about being tied up and gagged! Well, I was a bit surprised at first but after being told that it was more like play stuff, I gave it a shot and realized it was okay. I think because I was under the assurance that anytime I felt uncomfortable that I should speak up, as this was not about being hurt or mistreated but mainly to create an effect to please certain people that enjoyed this kind of bondage. This all took place in the early 70's, from then on, I have appeared in many bondage magazines and done quite a few shows, Glamourcon being my most frequented one. I am probably one of the very few models that still participates in bondage shoots, mainly for my own sites. I still do custom shoots. So there you have it. I have collected lots of magazines and photos over the years, which I am now happy to share with you (my fans) on both of my sites and e-bay auctions. I guess you would call me a pioneer in the world of glamour, fetish and bondage and have enjoyed all the friendships I have made along the way. I have been a citizen of the USA for 38 years and have made the Midwest my home but England will always be close at heart.
Sit back and enjoy the show...
