'Lydia Treats is a born performer and artist. She's got a great sense of humor, awesome ink, and is a pleasure to work with."

It's always funny writing a bio, to be entirely honest, and with that in mind I'm glad I get the chance to stretch out the brainpan and put words to screen, so to speak. I've been a performer for as long as I can remember. I started dancing at the age of two (tap and jazz), playing piano at age 7, and acting workshops around the same time. As one could perceive, the stage (and many other versions of such) has been my friend for a really long time.

I took up modeling a few years back for a local New Orleans car club, NOLA Hearse and am featured on their website nolahearse.com as well as their 2012 calendar. Through meeting those kind folks and discovering a new found affinity for pin up/hearse modeling, I was officially bitten by the bug to become more active in similar endevours. I met several new photographers and participated in additional local shoots, including but not limited to, Geek Girls With Guns, New Orleans Gothic Weddings (Til Death Do Us Part), and the Cigar Factory of New Orleans. Also this year, I will be doing shots for my tattoo artist's website.

I have also made my debut in the New Orleans Burlesque community, having joined the troupe the Billion Dollar Baby Dolls and will be performing in my first festival May, 2013. My love for burlesque is only growing larger; in fact, I can't listen to a song on the radio or my ipod without placing mental choreography throughout the track. I greatly enjoy the construction of my costumes, make up artistry, hair design, and anything/everything that is shiny.

My hopes stemming from creating this MM profiile is mainly to network and branch out in the modeling and performing industries. I know of some fantastic professionals who have gotten similar starts and whose carreers skyrocketed in this high demand world, and I know there is a place in the sun for me as well. Growing up, I was fascinated with darkness. Much of my clothing, my music, and my interests dealt with the macabre. If it wasn't industrial goth or pin up, it was something completely silly. I am a firm believer in that life is way too short, don't take yourself too seriously.
