Back when I was a teenager, I was having a conversation with a man that made a good living as a 'procurer', that is, someone who procured goods for those who were looking for them. Interesting! I was broke at the time and not sure what direction to take my life, and he could sense that. He told me that the one thing that I would always have to 'sell' (though he was not thinking in the terms that I obviously was!) was myself. He told me to focus on integrity and then figure out the career later. He told me that the most successful businesses were those that supplied things that were in heavy demand, and to think of something that was in heavy demand to focus my future on. I could think of nothing with a heavier demand than sex-it was, after all, in every commercial, every book, billboard, song, advertisement, and more! Once I figured this out, I never looked back. I knew what would be the driving force in my life. I had the answer! I would take my abusive beginnings and turn them around into happiness for myself and for others. That attitude could, quite possibly, be the seed of healing for fellow abuse victims. I then learned that abuse takes on some pretty subtle forms, such as the parent that refuses to let their child attend sex education classes, the teacher or trusted role model that purposely misinforms or misleads children, the parent that will not acknowledge sexual questions from their children and simply shelters them from growth.

I was born and raised in Las Vegas and involved in the sex industry since before I was legally allowed. I was a pro by 16, working through bell captains, security guards, pit bosses and concierge at nicer hotels and expanding into phone sex and professional Domination. I have danced topless and nude, have worked at brothels, massage parlors, escort services, phone sex, and more. I've been straight, gay, bi, poly, vanilla, kinky and just plain slutty. I've been married and single, and through all of this, have managed to learn have a very satisfying and rewarding sex life. I've been surrogate wife, lover, girlfriend and friend. I've held people in my arms whom I've just met while they cry because someone cared enough to acknowledge them as a sexual being. I've prevented suicide on more than one occasion. I've learned.

On a lighter note... Just for kicks one day, my significant other and I tried to figure out how many people I had been with in about a 18 year span, and we estimated it to be somewhere between 5,000 to upwards of 7,000 people. Men and women, 18 to 86, straight and 'normal' to decidedly twisted. The first question that usually comes to mind is answered here:

Yes, it does go back to being tight.

The next question: Do I still enjoy sex? The answer to that is a resounding YES! I've always disliked the sleaze factor that most sexually oriented businesses cannot seem to get away from, so when I started Dark Fire, I was determined not to allow it to succumb to that ever-profitable but oh-so-sleazy look and feel that you see in porn sites everywhere. While admittedly a bit extreme in some areas, there is something there for everyone and a no-holds-barred honest attitude about the joy of sexual pleasure. Being staunchly sex positive and classy even with the extreme fetish side of things is such a rarity! Everything that Dark Fire Gallery has become is a reflection of the person behind it. Try finding THAT with some super duper adult toy store conglomerate with a big name.

I cannot imagine having a different job (though a paycheck would be nice!!), and absolutely love the fact that I help people to experience joy. I encourage exploration, communication and experimentation between consenting adults. I smash myths and wives tales and constantly learn from the people that I meet.
