We’re happy to have you featured on Playboy! Can you give us a bit of a background on your career as a model and where it all started? When I was a teenager, I attended a music festival in Chicago and was scouted by someone from a prominent modeling school at the time. I auditioned and earned a scholarship to attend their school, which is the start of my passion for this industry. The school refined me as a model and actor and started me down the casting call road. After some time, I was fortunate enough to get represented by an agency and I did some commercial work and runway modeling in New York. I decided to move to Las Vegas and opted to become a freelance talent. That changed my life and career dramatically. I was self-managed and it opened a lot of doors I never could have imagined. Among the gigs I landed were:
• Workshop modeling and concept photographers, which allowed me to travel the country and do a bit of international travel. As well as work with some incredible artists who I now call my friends.
• Fetish modeling/acting, which I continue to work in to this day. It began with my perfect feet and from there opened the doors to so many areas in fetish modeling that I couldn’t have imagined. Among those are bondage, giantess, cannibalism, inflation, wrestling, trampling, scissors, bb, etc. I encourage you to search me up on clips4sale if you are curious on what any of those niches are.
• Independent film work, which I love and look forward to doing more of. I’ve appeared in passion projects done by hobbyists who love making art and those who are looking to submit their works to various film festivals.
Having a full schedule must make it difficult for you to get much alone time, talk to us about the top 3 must-dos to ensure you fit in some well-deserved downtime? I’m very regimented which enables me to reach my personal and professional goals. My non-negotiables are walking my Doodle, meditating, and doing my workouts to stay in shape and keep me on top of my game. I generally work five to six days a week and considering all of my personal and professional obligations, I usually am grinding an average of 12 hours a day. It leaves little time for me and is a lot to handle at times. So I definitely look forward to enjoying my vacations, which I take a few times a year.
What does it mean for you to be seen as a strong, intelligent, ambitious woman? I hold myself to a high standard. It means a lot to me that the people in my life see and understand the effort I put into being my best on a daily basis. I’m proud that the photographers and the producers I regularly work with praise my professionalism and the simple fact I manage to show up on time ready to work.
What are some of the biggest misconceptions people have about what you do? I get curiosity more than misconceptions. The world I have found myself in is truly fascinating and keeps me inquisitive, as well. I’m surprised even with all of my experience in this field at some of the job offers I receive! The public at large really has no clue about the fetish industry. People seem to be fascinated when they hear what my days are like and the things I encounter on the job. That leads to a lot of smiles and a lot more questions.
What does freedom of self-expression mean to you? As a freelancer, I have the option to pick and choose the jobs I take. I get opportunities to travel and do things I’m interested in. This is my passion to make art and fall into character roles. One day I’m a superhero and the next day I’m playing a murderer. The diversity is awesome.
We absolutely love your Instagram, your content is very dynamic, inspirational, and downright sexy, could you perhaps tell us what your personal experience as an influencer has been like? My IG is certainly random. I’m not sure about influential, LOL! Entertaining? Yes. Sexy? Hell yes. Violent? Yes again. It is all of those things behind the scenes, as well. It’s hilarious that while there are so many of my fans who love looking at my feet, there are just as many who don’t get foot fetish and question it. It’s funny to make some people scratch their heads and others scratch their…. you know what depending on the post. But stay tuned and eventually I’ll make a full circle for my diverse audience.
3 things that you can’t go a day without.
1. I can’t go a day without a good laugh. I give bonus points to the things that make me laugh so hard I nearly pee myself.
2. I am always looking for opportunities to be a good person, whether that is paying it forward in the coffee line or picking up some groceries for a person in need.
- And like I said before, walking my dog is a must. Enjoying the natural beauty like a breathtaking sunrise, an amazing sunset, marveling at the majestic mountains in the distance, and enjoying the smell of wet grass are some of my favorite things when I’m walking Viva.
What about those crazy DMs you must receive? Care to share a few funny stories regarding those? My DMs are unhinged!! They run the gamut from wedding proposals to people asking me to break their bones. I’ve had men ask me to castrate them, stand on their faces, stomp them, and other outrageous fantasy world requests! My fans are overall complimentary and cool. It’s rare I encounter the run-of-the-mill jackass. My DMs are never boring.
Now we’re sure you experience a lot of male attention on and offline, any advice you would like to give to men out there who are hoping to catch your eye the right way? It weirds me out when people try to be seductive or enticing me. But I love meeting cool people with great stories… so be interesting and not creepy.
What is the absolute worst thing a man can do to completely put you off? I include women in this answer, too. I’m repulsed by people who are unnecessarily rude. If you’re an asshole or a bully, you’re not going to get any positive attention from me. Part of what I do in work is humiliation and domination, but there’s a big difference between fantasies and one’s behavior in the real world.
That said, what advice would you have to give to all women out there when it comes to love and relationships? The best advice I have ever received is not to be loyal for loyalty’s sake. This means taking inventory of the energy exchange in a relationship, whether it’s intimate or
friendships. If things are unbalanced, adjust or cut, as necessary.
Thank you so much for sitting down with us and letting us get to know you! Any last words for our readers out there? I want to sincerely thank the supporters of Playboy for keeping this incredible brand the icon in publication that it is! And express what an unbelievable honor it is to be one of the many wonderful women to grace the cover and pages.
