I am not your Golden Standard. I am a different type of model.

I have a style that ranges from alt/goth to pinup, cosplay to burlesque, and fantasy to glamour. I like to do work that is different and create art.

I believe that being beautiful is being yourself and not being afraid.
I believe that everyone is beautiful in their own way, therefore we cannot adhere to a "standard" of beauty.
I believe that industry standards are worth ignoring.

I love to create art and view art. I am always wanting to find someone who could use a model like me in their work. All I need is an artist who's looking for a subject.
When I am working on a theme I pay strict attention to detail down to how I manicure my nails, and the accessories I wear. When you work with me, you get a model, stylist, and artist all in one package.

I have been modeling since 2008, and I have worked at home in the USA and done shoots abroad in Japan with photographers from many different parts of the world. I am open to traveling pretty much anywhere if travel expenses are paid, and if you are in the MD/DC/VA/PA/NJ/NC area and I REALLY like what you have to offer, I will gladly come to you if you cannot come to me.

Body modifications:
3 tattoos (lower back, one on each leg) and more to come
piercings: ears, nose

  Paid and print work are the main things I am looking for right now, and I have very selective openings for TF (trade) work. I will also work in exchange for wardrobe or accessories, or access to events. 

I love working with designers, especially upcoming names in the DMV area. Accessory or fashion designer? I want to meet you! Let's get to know each other.

Primary method of contact: Facebook.
I do not update my MM account nearly as often as facebook. If you wish to contact me, please message me via facebook or private message on MM. 

When I am not modeling, I can be found writing, crafting, drawing/painting, or doing photography of my own. I also enjoy yoga, fencing, dance, and have been learning the art of belly dance.
I write music reviews for Strange Beauty Magazine, and I love it.
I also  have my own blog which I try to keep as up to date as possible. You can follow me here, on wordpress: kelleynymph.wordpress.com
