Well, I'm 23 now. I've been around on this site since 2004 so I'm not new, but have only recently come back from an 18-month break.
My name is Cheryl & I live on the south coast of England, UK with my partner of three years, Robert, our three dogs (Duke, Barney & Jim) and our three lodgers (Nick, Iain & Nick's daughter Alex)
Nick also has four boys, Joe, George, Ben & Louis who often come round. I love them; they're great kids and wonderful fun to have around. Our house is never empty or quiet. Well, for now at least it's not.
Robert & I are getting married on 26th June 2010 at a little church in Shedfield. We've booked our reception at the Botleigh Grange hotel & we're having a 14-night honeymoon cruise in the Mediterranean in July.
We plan to redecorate our house in the year after we're married - this includes removing a few walls, re-plastering some others, installing a corner bath, walk-in shower, new laminate flooring, etc. And we may even end up with children of our own after that.
My dear pa has just moved house, from his old flat to a nice little place with a garden. He's only down the road & I love him very much. We also go round to Robert's parents for Sunday lunch and it's honestly great to be able to see them so often for a drink or three.
I go to the pool probably 3 or 4 times a week, swimming no less than 1500m at a time. I like to keep in shape, so dancing, exercise biking & yoga are all musts. I have grade 8 piano, grade 5 theory of music & grade 2 flute and music is still a huge part of my life even though this was all achieved during my childhood.
Robert has got me into cooking. He is the most wonderful chef & although I still make a MUCH better sponge cake than a roast dinner, I enjoy experimenting with new recipes. And my Italian potato salad is to die for! :)
Robert has also got me into motorbiking. Although I don't ride or even drive, I have my own leathers and go out as a pillion whenever he takes his ZX12R for a spin.
A hobby I thoroughly enjoy but sadly rarely ever have time for now, is painting. I'm still pretty creative in other ways and being so arty at a young age I believe, has inspired me in my modelling career.
I have been modelling professionally for more than a year now & first started in 2005. I mainly work for studios around the UK and amateur photographers, helping them build their portfolios. Occasionally, I get published & have work printed in American Fetish magazine Leg Show (April 2009 & another set coming soon) and am published in Professional Photographer magazine this month in an advertisement for my local studio at Lowford.
I also work with many professional photographers, including Tony Nutley and John Tisbury and often travel hundreds of miles around the UK for various shoots, as well as abroad.
In April 2008, I spent a few days with dance photographer, Jim Rowbotham in beautiful Paris, even getting some shots in the Pere Lachaise cemetery and then in October 2008, John Evans & I worked on a project in the Algarve, Portugal to get some fetish-style prints that were then sold at Erotica '08 in November.
I have little interest of being signed with an agency as most of my work is artistic or erotic. I am not lead by fashion or glamour particularly but have much experience in both fields.
I plan to keep doing this as long as I possibly can, I'm proud to have turned a well-loved hobby into my career. It's hugely rewarding & often social; I often network at group events & get to meet many other people in the business including stylists & videographers. Have also raised money through annual Brighton group shoots for Macmillan Cancer.
Future plans include shooting in Goa, India and to produce books/calendars for sale online.
