Viva Nova

Born in 1979, Viva Nova first discovered her love for corsets at the age of 16. It wasn't until she'd modelled for two years that she finally got her first one, and since then her collection has grown. Modelling since the age of 21, she has posed for Angie Nicholls, Alex Wilson, Christine Amy, Paul Timothy and Ted Samotowka, running the gamut of urban beauty, fetish, pinup and portrait. Viva is a perfectionist when it comes to her photography, so she takes the care to arrange all her own shoots, take care of her wardrobe, and with a background in makeup artistry, she does her own makeup and hair. She also manages a sales account for Parfums Christian Dior, maintains her own website, and runs a Yahoo! Group. Friendly and professional, Viva expects the same from the people she works with. Her favourite description of herself was given by Captain Tralfaz at HotPunkGirl.com: "She's a sweetheart, but her patience with you is wearing thin."
