I've been interested in fetish fashion ever since I started collecting platform high heels and vintage corsets.

In the mid-90s I used to dance with a performance art/fashion show/raver troupe affectionately named UZI. I'd dance in rubber clothes all night for raves and concerts. The last costume get-up I wore was a rubber nun outfit for a holiday fundraiser fashion show in Denver.

Most of the time we'd all get up on stage and have a grand time of it.

I modelled for the store also called UZI and became friends with the owner, Mari. I also ended up writing articles about fetish clothes and local raves for the UK mag, Skin Two.
