I'm physically disabled and use a wheelchair, but I do not let that impede my life.  I'm interested in working with photographers who are looking to cross boundaries and show the vitality, sexiness, and vibrancy of individuals in the disabled community.  Professionally, I am a full-time writer of fiction, an editor and writer for DisabilityNews.Net, a fashion/beauty/disabilities blogger (and vlogger), and considered one of the Top Seven Women in Beauty with Disabilities internationally (http://www.nlcafe.hu/szepuljunk/20110729/fogyatekkal_elok_a_szepsegiparban/). Additionally, I'm one of the world's most renown models with a disability, and have been paving the way with interviews and features everywhere from People Magazine, Entertainment Tonight (Canada and the US editions), Penthouse Magazine, Forever Young Magazine, and have been in the Washington Times, national training and sensitivity videos, have been appointed a Leadership Ambassador for the American Association of People with Disabilities, am a sworn public official, have garnered multiple accolades for writing, and have been honoured with my very own exhibit in the Museum of Disability History.  Though I'm also an expert in the differing fields of both sexuality/relationships and disability activism, I take all the aspects of my life equally seriously and important, hence I have a crack Personal Assistant, yet am still limited to locations that are (obviously) wheelchair accessible.  Thus far, that has only been a problem once in two countries, and my Canadian agent managed to handle that with adroit.  I am comfortable with mostly everything except full nudity, unless it is done very well.  The link provided above is to my writing and advocacy site, not to much modelling.  NOTE: Although I am disabled, I can sit places other than my wheelchair, my sensation is not inhibited, and my limbs are not too visibly affected.  I do not answer questions about my disability, as they are all answered on my website -- I'm *very* open about my repertoire of diagnoses, and make no attempts to obfuscate my disabilities...or, more importantly, my abilities.
