I was born in Indiana but moved to Tennessee in my late teens. My mother introduced me to Marilyn Monroe at a very young age and I have been enamored with everything pin-up, vintage, and retro ever since.

I have been published 7 times so far and have 5 more publications coming up!

I am a Jersey Girl at Heart but live in Florida for the last 20 years. I found a Gem of a Local Store called the Parisian Hostess and met the owner Tamara. I fell in love with her store and would shop there on a weekly basis. Her inspiration made me want to be a Pin Up Model. I joined the classes she gave about how to do Makeup, Victory Rolls, Eye Lashes, and Posing. I was nervous in the beginning but she built up my confidence and self-esteem. Tamara even helped come up with my name Lavender Lady because of my Purple Hair and Tattoos. Doing Pin Up gives me so much happiness and confidence in myself. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for me.

Pinup style and culture fascinated me for many years before I became brave enough to dive in, and now I’m so grateful I did. Additionally, modeling has opened up a new avenue of creativity to explore as an artist. I love crafting looks, sewing and altering clothes, playing with trying to perfect new makeup looks, and collaborating with other inspiring creatives.
