My Journey to Sensual Art
I grew up a tomboy - and a ballet dancer.
Ever since I could remember, I was a girl who was half girlie girl and half tomboy. As a kid, I played with barbies and GI Joes. I found the allure of femininity going through my mother's drawer, of whom had a healthy selection of lingerie and heels. I watched women on TV wield their power over a room - let alone men - and I knew that was who I wanted to be.
​
At age 12, I received a scholarship to take ballet at a prestigious ballet academy, which helped iron out some of my rough edges and soften my mannerisms. It also cured my knocked-knee issue and straightened my legs out. I took all other forms of dance, that helped understand angles and how to move my body in a feminine way.
​
Despite dance, as I came of age I was still mostly one of the boys. When I finally hit puberty at age 17 - after being nothing but a skinny flat chested girl with long legs - I quickly gained the attention from some of the boys around me. Thankfully, I had spent so much time with my guy friends that I knew what was going on, so I started using my newfound curves and I got my revenge by teasing. By the time I graduated high school, I was the unofficial class tease.
I'm always inspired by women owning their sensuality.
To me, there is nothing more powerful than a woman who knows how to hold herself in a room full of men. Being an 80s baby, I was exposed to a lot of women in television and movies who were bad asses - the direct result of the feminist movement of that time. Nothing made me more upset than to see a girl shrink herself for acceptance...does she not know her power??
Living in this era is fascinating as we have two extreme opposites of women in everyday life; the hypersexualized variety, and the kind that cover themselves or let themselves go out of complacency. To each their own - it honestly doesn't bother me - but if I have to pick a side, I choose the middle; where women take care of themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally. Where we adorn our beautiful bodies with clothes that flatter and command respect from everyone we encounter. The ones that smell good, look good, feel good, taste good, and that are good. The ones that leave something to the imagination. The ones worth the wait.
Those are my type of women.
I started shooting pics of myself during the pandemic.
Before 2020, I was an active dance instructor, and would perform in an occasional show if called to. When the pandemic hit, I had no creative outlet. I filled my time teaching my kids school work, dance and music (I also was a bassoonist - but that's another story), but in my downtime, I had little to do. To stay limber and in shape, I took up yoga - mostly to challenge myself with difficult poses - but on a whim I realized that IG had more corners to it than I had known. When I realized that there was a community of leg lovers, I used the knowledge I gained from my children's father (a photographer) and started snapping. Pics in t-shirts turned to pics in lingerie. Lingerie introduced stockings, and that's when the nylon community opened up to me. I had never known!
​
Being that I had worn dance tights all my youth, it wasn't a foreign concept to me, and I started to realize that the quality that nylons could ascend was beyond what I had ever known. It was when I was gifted a large box of CdRs and Wolfords that I realized I had been missing out, and I became a full fledge lover of nylons.
This passion is full circle for me.
I think about myself as a little girl, and who I aspired to be, and I'm amazed and overwhelmed with gratitude in that I'm doing just what that little girl had wanted.
I'm sitting in my power, rooted in my sensuality, bringing people to experience sensual art in a way that isn't contrived or "for the 'gram."
I'm expressing myself through my art using my God-given body to feed office fantasies, or fantasies just in general.
And I know that most would want me to push the envelope further into the sexual arena, but I'm honoring my younger self who knows that there's something to be said for a woman who keeps some things private. And I'm that woman.
I'm grateful that you're here.
Thank you.
