Sometimes I think about women from times past who dared to be fully expressed in their sexuality and landed themselves in institutions.

All it took back then was for one man to claim that a woman was “hysterical” and her fate could end in a lobotomy.

I thank the universe that I live in a day and age where I can be bold and extreme and sexual… and any man who wants to call me inappropriate or insane merely fades into the noise of the background.

I feel so grateful to be unfurling my wings into my full expression — creatively and sexually. I live a life immersed in the erotic and I love the mysterious rabbit holes that this path takes me down.

I’m also incredibly grateful to be on the new cover of Playboy New Zealand, coming out on December 2nd.
