Placing those interests together helps to create glamorous and mesmerizing acts, which is something I strive for in every show. I love motion, fetishism, and femininity. My shows range from performing a “Jungle Queen” inspired act on an oversized bamboo pyramid to a Magician-Bunny act featuring a 4- foot-tall revolving top hat. I love incorporating props and highly stylized costumes that help a stage show really draw you into this fantasy. My shows are heavily based in fantasy and certain elements from classic burlesque. Mosh: I do my best to create shows that evoke the same things that my photos do. MM Edu: You’re also a burlesque performer. Now, my career focuses heavily on fetishism.” “I developed this fascination with fetishism, and soon after became a fetishist, years before I even started modeling. Model: Mosh Photographer: Emma Wilcox Photography Clothing Designer: Vaunt D Now, my career focuses heavily on fetishism. So, I developed this fascination with fetishism, and soon after became a fetishist, years before I even started modeling. The more I searched, the more I was intrigued. Mosh: In my early teenage years, I found some fetish imagery online. MM Edu: Let’s talk fetishes, when did you discover your love of fetishes and how has it evolved? Mosh: Professionalism, drive, patience, and good business sense. MM Edu: What does it take to be a successful alt model? Model: Mosh Photographer: Fräulein Ehrhardt All in all, I love the ability to model whatever I want, whenever I want. Anyway, I still love the alt genre, and I consider all models (modified or not) to be an alt model, so long as they produce work that makes them unique or that does not fit mainstream standards. I had some piercings earlier in my career, but that was really the extent of my modifications. Up until that point, I hadn’t realized how it’s grown into a term to usually refer to a model with modifications. When I first started using the term, it didn’t seem as popular or used by such a large variety of models.Īt a photo shoot years later, I explained to a photographer that I was an alt model and he immediately looked me over and said, “How can you be an alt model, you’re not tattooed or pierced?” The second photographer in the room replied, “No, she’s the alternative to the alt industry.” I had a good laugh at that. It could cover fetish, pin-up, odd fashions-anything I wanted it to. So, “alt model” seemed perfect and because it could cover the things I loved and everything in between it was the genre of modeling that I loved the most. I started using the term “alternative” to describe my work-more so as an umbrella term to cover the genres I loved to shoot the most and that weren’t considered part of modern and mainstream fashion shoots. Mosh: Fetish was my first love and classic pin-up was my second. MM Edu: Your work covers many genres but do you have a preference? Model: Mosh Photographer: W B Fontenot Clothing Designer: Collective Chaos A week later, I booked another shoot, and then another… and the rest is history. A little while later, I found Model Mayhem during one of my many internet searches for fetish and pin-up imagery, and I signed up that day using some of those images that my high school friend had shot. She had to complete some shoots for her photography class, and I modeled for her. Years later, I posed for a friend in high school. The more I kept looking, the more I was intrigued. Mosh: When I was a teenager, I ran across some fetish imagery online. MM Edu: Tell us about your career as a model, from how you got started to now.
