 Wearing my Cheeki Go-Go thong!


Wearing my new Cheeki Snuggle Hard boyshort which feels like I'm wearing nothing by the way, sort of weird in a studio full of people..

SAVAGES - Oliver Stone, Blake Lively

So my dear husband Alexander Wraith's movie SAVAGES has finally been released to DVD. For those that haven't seen the trailer it stars Blake Lively, Taylor Kitsch, Benicio Del Toro and Salma Hayek. It's about a couple of pot farmers who face off against a mexican drug cartel that kidnap their shared girlfriend, directed by Oliver Stone and with its stellar cast, it was a certain hit.
With all his hard work I am so proud!!
Watch the trailer here :

Lili Emmanuelle - Now


A short film I shot with good friend cinematographer Fabien Dufils, he is amazingly creative and I was privileged to work with such a talented person.

P.s Don't freak out, I'm not a smoker. We just agreed that it's something that looks very pretty on film.

Travalo Commercial




I just shot a TV commercial for the exciting new brand Travalo! Travalo is a line of airline approved perfume atomizers, that are stylish and durable with a very smart filling system. I had no idea what it was until they told me about it in the casting as it's just now available in the US at Nordstrom, Ricky's and most pharmacies!! For someone that travels a lot, (and has to get off planes looking and smelling photo-shoot fresh) this is good news for me, as I love my perfumes and am disappointed when I have to leave them behind. They generously supplied me with probably a lifetimes supply of them!!!
Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, I didn't know they filmed SNL here until I almost got wiped out by a tuban-wearing Bill Hader in a hallway on way to set, I spent a good couple minutes looking for Amy Poehler who I think is amazing, but no luck :(

Me on set and the chaos behind me.
Organized chaos.


They're so cute!!

No Label Watches Shoot at WIP - NYC

Just recently I had the privilege of working for NoLabel watches, the love child company of Luis Diaz, Daniel Victor and Jayvon Smith. This street savvy hip-hop influenced crew has created a fun, youthful line that can easily merchandise with any outfit, here's some snaps from the shoot.  We shot it in one of New York City's more urban themed clubs WIP (work in progress), for the graffiti walls and cool space, but the best part was probably getting to work with one of my oldest friends in NYC Gabrielle Kniery. she was on ANTM cycle 14 and I love her sexy ass!!!
The makeup!
Hangin out on set.

Was lucky enough to work with my bi-racial barbie Gabrielle Kniery for the first time. I have been friends with this amazing woman 6 years!! Oh man, time flies.......
On set, at WIP (work in progress) in New York City.

The Face - Naomi Campbell, Karolina Kurkova, Coco Rocha

There is a new TV show in the works according to Coco Rocha's social media outlets.
Naomi Campbell, Karolina Kurkova and Coco herself are set to mentor 12 young models as they compete to be "The Face" of a major brand.
These 3 are all women whom I admire and whose careers I have followed closely, Naomi who is now 42 has been modelling since she was 15, was one of the first women to coin the term "supermodel".
I always admired Karolina's intense work ethic, her ambition and drive to succeed drove her to the top, that and being a Victoria's Secret Angel since 2oo5 as well as juggling a career and family all at once.
Coco's resilience and strong moral background are to be applauded having never shot any swimwear or lingerie, a very difficult thing to not give into in this tough and very competitive industry.
I can say I definitely look forward to watching, and taking note of any wisdom they have to impart.
