I have substantial experience in the more, *cough*, mainstream branches of modeling, including catalogue, runway, commercial print, beauty, parts and hair, primarily in Paris and San Francisco. I've also gained some cred in the alternative and fetish worlds modeling for such sites as Suicidegirls and the Darkplay Network since I've been back in SF all hol(e)y and inked up.

Modeled for: (inter)national ad campaigns for companies like Allah's Sacred Earth Henna, magazines including Casting (Paris), indie designers such as Cotton Candy, evil corps like Cutex, boutiques the likes of Doria Salambo, hair salons and products a la Montesantos and Trevor-Sorbie, big names such as Etienne Brunel during Paris fashion week, etc..

Fetish work: In the realm of domination I go by Mistress Violine (pronounced vee-o-leen). I can see you in my cozy SF dungeon after I've screened you. (Write me at msvioline@hotmail.com). For foot worship, you can see me on www.Footnight.com and attend the Footnight parties. You can also come see me in the dungeon for a private session, and if you're good I might let you take my boots off.
