Official Biography:
She is a native of Minnesota and was raised in the foster homes. An orphaned, tattooed, badass who spent her youth on the streets, literally beating up every boy (and kissing every girl) in her neighborhood. She’s a survivor. Throughout it all, somehow she never lost her warmth, honesty or faith in humanity.
At the age of 18, after traveling to New York City with a punk rock band, she began working as a peepshow girl in the notorious Times Square sex emporium known as Show World. A brainiac with a sharp sense of humor, she managed to walk away from her years in the sex industry feeling untainted by the business or any one else’s opinion.
