About Me

hard workin', hard livin' pink haired retro/pinup/horror quirky model and vintage burlesque dancer livin' in San Diego going on 10 years strong. Born in the Mojave desert and raised in a small town, growing up around the oddities and deranged people that are only found in a creepy desert town has made me fascinated with things as an adult I feared as a child. Im obsessed with creepy clowns, circus freaks and horror flicks. Some of these obsessions come out in my photos. Nothin' pleases me more than collaborating with a photographer to create an image that evokes some kind of emotion be it shock, humor, sadness or disgust, and of course the more gory and repulsive the better.

LIKE BURLESQUE? i happen to perform in san diego's only vintage-esque burlesque troupe, SULTRY SAVAGE BURLESQUE, under the name of MISS OPHELIA HANDFUL! to check us out on myspace, click below:

A fascinating look into the lifestyle of the hipster mullet

(This story was inspired by two things: A recent show I did at an ultra hip bar which will remain nameless and Steve Irwin. Plus, this haircut just sucks people, there's nothing flattering about it......
