Wonderhussy is awesome and hilarious and very easy to talk to! She started modeling around 2008 and quickly learned to love modeling nude in the desert the most- she loved it SO much that she promoted nude day shoots in the desert with her as a chauffeur for a $500 day rate!
Any time she had a crazy or weird experience, she used that as fuel to blog about on her website. Her transition from nude modeling to youtubing full time is very fascinating and inspiring. I love Wonderhussy's vibe and I feel like everyone needs a little wonderhussy in their life :)
She no longer models, but you can totally soak her up on youtube!! (dude just watch her intro video, like dude, just do it ok?) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRkyWI1tbWchz0uHfCMXK0w

Cheyanne is an amazing art model from Australia who I had the pleasure of meeting while she was passing through Utah a few months ago. She is creative and inspired! So much that she started helping her friends book up their own shoots too, and that snowballed until she ended up creating a fine art nude modeling agency in Australia, and she's been running it for 5 years now!
Cheyanne LOVED telling her craziest stories on the podcast, the fucked up, the weird, and the good surprises too!

Liv Sage was a Librarian before she fell into nude modeling. Over the course of our conversation, we took a surprising amount of dark turns into the taboos of humanity, I think you will find it very fascinating!
Liv has been thinking about moving into a more academically challenging line of work, and we talked about her dreams and her love for books. She has quite a bit of intelligence that seems to be overshadowed by her beauty, and it's starting to wear on her, driving her to find a more fulfilling life yet simultaneously still enjoying parts of her modeling career.

Katlyn told story after story that just had me absolutely rolling! Their energy was so enthusiastic and fun throughout this whole show, the hour went by so fast! Katlyn is a professional painter as well as a freelance model, and paints for a few months at a time, then switches gears to modeling throughout the year.
I felt like I resonated with a lot of Katlyn's crazy stories, especially when they mentioned sobriety. The camera lens can be a fun way to interact with the world for people who are getting accustomed to certain social situations again.
I promise you will be on the edge of your seat for this one!!!

Ivory Flame has been modeling for 18 years, and her image has become a legacy online! She is very much a chameleon, sharing fashion, avante garde, gothic, artistic nude, fine art and pre-raphaelite style imagery on her portfolio and social links.
We had such an amazing conversation and talked about so many things, dating back to the golden era of "hot or not dot com" to model mayhem and to today's social landscape of sharing our work and connecting with each other.
She was very vulnerable in sharing her experience where a photographer she trusted truly took advantage of her trust... the police had to get involved and everything! It definitely a story worth listening to, I sat there with my jaw hitting the floor as she was telling me about it!
Ivory Flame and I also reminisced about our amazing experience working with Beth Creedon as our life coach! As freelancers, it's often helpful to have someone guide us into our best versions of ourselves.
