This is my life as a model.  I first got started in modeling in 2005 when I was asked to participate in a calendar competition.  After that, my friend began taking me to photo shoots with her and I progressed from there.  Now I am a well experienced model with much practice and many photos to display the work I have done.  I am always networking with new people and attending new events, I like the saying “your net worth = your network” so I am always trying to grow my network.  I am working on becoming a traveling model so I can network with more people nationally, but for now my reach is limited to the southwest.  If you want to shoot with me I am available for private bookings (email me at nykib@yahoo.com).  My rates depend on the work you would like to do; my regular rate is $20/hour, my lingerie rate is $40/hour, and my implied nude rate is $70/hour, I do not do nude.  I am not a hair model in the sense that I do NOT allow cutting or coloring of my hair.  I am a hair model for hair products and hair styling.  I have worked too long to keep this gorgeous mane healthy and naturally stunning.  So let me know what projects you have, where you need a model, and how we can work together - I would love to hear your ideas!

Little update to my entertainment industry career - I am expanding to take on acting as well as modeling.  I have done so much promotional work I feel comfortable enough to try speaking roles.  I have been onstage in front of an audience (as Trixie) and I have been an extra in some videos.  I found I get quiet a rush from performing, having all eyes on me is an awesome sense of power hehe.  So look for me on TV in commercials or in movies and I am more than welcome to offers for work, just email nykib@yahoo.com, thanks for reading!

I have always enjoyed taking pictures so it seemed natural to step in front of the camera finally.  I love the camera, whether in front of it or behind it.  Read below to find out more about me and my life (some history about me).

• My brother is my best friend and we push each other to be successful.  He has won gymnastics tournaments and participated in the Junior Olympics held at MGM in Florida.  He always has a great attitude and is the most entertaining person to be around.
• I worked over a year in retail management where I met many great people who helped me ‘come out of my shell’.  I also gained experience in the fashion industry, which I fell in love with.  This opportunity inspired me, I enjoy sewing and creating clothes and jewelry, so I hope to have my own fashion line and designer label someday.  Keep an eye out, I will be having a fashion show soon.
• I have loved horses all my life and I go riding every chance I get.  I almost owned my own horse at one point, but it is a pretty expensive pet and a lot of work.  I met a girl who became a close friend and she is a true my horse guru, so together we want to open a Dude Ranch - I know the business side and she knows how to work the stables.  That is my dream for retirement, working at my Dude Ranch still making money while enjoying meeting people, the animals, and the outdoors.
• I enjoy the outdoors and being active.  One of my favorite adventures was a 7 day canoe trip through Minnesota where I journeyed through one of the last untouched wildlife areas left in the United States.  Another favorite adventure was climbing in Redington Pass to go cliff diving.  The 50 foot jump was the scariest, but if you’re careful it can be a great rush.  Aside from the thrill, it was nice to relax and picnic in the Arizona sun with my friends.
• I played fast-pitch softball for 15 years before becoming a model; grew up with a very tomboy attitude.  I was a pitcher with a killer change-up and a lead slapper because I was the fastest runner on the team with the highest stolen base average.  I had so much fun stealing home, not many people can pull that one off very often.  I won many tournaments and earned many trophies, but bruises were unbecoming of a model.
• I started performing Trixy on stage for the Rocky Horror Picture Show through college to replace softball; I like to stay busy.  I met very interesting and some eccentric people that influenced how I view life.  It was most surprising to see those eccentric people in normal life, outside of the Rocky Horror events.  My two favorite Trixy performances were my dance of the 7 veils and Tomb Raider for Rocky Halloween 2006 (Maybe someday I will post them for you to view)
• I got into a car accident two days after Valentines Day on my way to work one day.  My car was totaled and I was pretty badly injured.  I was in a wheelchair for over 2 months and was not able to participate in any events.  I was really sad I had to turn down two runway shows.  The good news is I was able to buy a house and a car using the settlement money I received from the accident since it wasn’t my fault
