MODEL NAME "lady lush lisa"
I chose lady lush lisa as it was given me many years ago and it stuck.
AGE 37
RESIDES Wigan Greater Manchester
HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN DOING IT.
one and a half years.
WHAT GOT ME INTO IT.
Up until four years ago i was miss jo average, a long distance runner and swimmer, and blonde lol x
But all that changed one sunday morning whilst walking my dogs
i was run over by a woman changing lanes, after 21 ops, my life full time in a wheelchair
and my partner no longer being there.
I decided on amputation below the knee, two and a half years ago.
I felt not a woman anymore fat and frumpy, so started my tattoo obsession as i wanted something beautiful on me.
little by little i learned to walk and realised i had to say goodbye to the woman i was and except this was me,
so i dyed my hair and changed the way i dressed, little by little and realised i felt better, being different and unique.
but still i couldn't feel sexy or beautiful.

one day i was on Facebook commenting on a friends status, were i came across David Draken Watkins,
who saw my picture and i his amazing work,
so he offered me a shoot, and that experience was amazing, he was so kind and made such beautiful pictures of me.
There was such a positive responce to my pictures by friends, and that in turn helped me grow in confidence.
we arranged more shoots together, and added my pics to his website and helped me develop a portfolio.
He is now one of my closest friends and i'm so thankful to the change he made just by making me a model.
MY FAVOURITE FEATURE

I'M PROUD OF
That i'm developing my portfolio, i've had confidence to now promote my pictures and take on new avenues of work.

I inspire others to try new things.
