I love boudoir photoshoots! At most shoots, I ask to do some form of lingerie to keep building my portfolio for it. For a long time I was scared to show off my body in that way, and was afraid that it would look bad. But recently I've been obsessed with it, especially with the women's empowerment movement that's currently happening!

I'd have to say my favorite lingerie has got to be black lace. You can see in my shoots that it's what I normally wear. I love the way my red hair pops against the black!

In the end, my favorites will probably always be the more alternative ones with the really unique costumes and outfits.

It was the reason why I started after all.

I do like to vary it up though, so things don't get too repetitive.

I'm a petite model. At 5'4" without the greatest complexion and inverted hips as well as little titties, these curvy models would be surprised at how girls like us yearn to be girls like them.

I've seen models who carry their scars into the modeling world with pride to show the world that perfection is a myth and we need to embrace all of our flaws.

Turn them into art.

It's what I do, and even though I'll probably never see a runway in my entire life, it seems to be working out just fine for me.

You're beautiful!

Don't forget it.

Being a transgender in Thailand for me is so easy. Mostly I can do what I want and I can be what I want to be too.

One major exception is that I cannot legally change my gender to female, and that means I am not legally able to be married.

So far it’s not really a big problem for my life here, but it’s something I hope the government will change. I do have one memorable bad experience relating to me being a transgender...

Four years ago I wanted to have a full-time job and I researched many companies. There was a company that asked me to interview.

I went to the interview but when I got there they told me that they won’t accept any transgenders for work because they were afraid that some of their customers will think that they have unprofessional staff members.

That hurt me quite a lot and was definitely a bad experience.

Es importante entender que, hagas lo que hagas, la gente siempre tendrá una opinión sobre ti y lo que haces. Nuestra seguridad y autoestima no debe depender de otras personas sino de ti misma. Cuando yo comencé lo hice sin pensar y preocuparme por lo que dirían los demás, yo sabía que quería hacerlo, eso era suficiente. Y luego cuando vi los resultados de esas sesiones y me encantó lo que vi, quise compartirlo y así lo hice, sin agobiarme por opiniones ajenas, pues sé que lo que importaba era lo que yo sentía.

It is important to understand that whatever you do, people will always have an opinion about you and what you do. Our security and self-esteem should not depend on other people but on ourselves. When I started I did it without thinking and worrying about what others would say, I knew I wanted to do it, that was enough. And then when I saw the results of those sessions and I loved what I saw, I wanted to share it and I did so, without being overwhelmed by other people's opinions because I know that what mattered was what I felt.
