Being now a 24 year-old woman, I have always being taught to be careful not to attract too much men's interests by my physique. I was told not to show too much cleavage, not to wear this or that skirt, that my jeans were too tight, and so it showed the features of my figure.
When I was in middle school, I remembered being bullied by a group of older girls who ceaselessly called me "the young bitch" because I was generally wearing a t-shirt with a cleavage and because the boys were around me.
But the more I grew up, the more I felt the need to express my sense of sensuality. I also felt concerned about this social restriction to celebrate womanhood. Yes, indeed I feel like a woman and I'm not ashamed to be willing to appear sexy. Modeling helped me to develop this sensuality.

I always loved the color red. According to me, it represents sensuality vitality and power.
I have never understood why seeing, on social media, pictures of a male model in pants appear as a source of pride while it is a source of shame for the women. The division between the sexes has been exaggerated out of proportion and locked in place, but it's wearing me out. The male side of life has been dominating the world from long before we were born, and mothers have played the submissive role to men since forever, it seems.
