Hi! I’m Tess and I’m so happy to be here. I love the Suicide Girls platform and everything it stands for. I admire the fierceness of women, especially those who choose not to conform and to live life by their own terms. I hope to inspire others to live as free and unapologetically as their hearts desire.
I am a performing artist from NYC. I have a background in classical ballet and other forms of dance training that have allowed me to transition into the career I have now. I work as an aerialist (yes, swinging from the ceiling!), pole dancer, contortionist and burlesque performer. I’ve gotten to do some really cool things in my career like stunt double on tv and perform at concerts onstage with celebs. I absolutely love what I do. When I’m not performing you can still see me working the pole at the club.
Other hobbies of mine include fashion design which I’ve recently went back to school for. I have a degree in Arts Management from SUNY Purchase. I love to write and do it often. I enjoy journaling, poetry, songwriting and listing my intentions. I love listening to music. My favorite genres are R&B, Hip Hop and Classic Rock. I still take and teach dance and pole classes when I can. I’m a tattoo enthusiast. I love tattoos and have even done a few myself. I’m a licensed permanent makeup artist. I got into it during Covid when most performance venues were closed and I was not working very much. I enjoy traveling and plan to travel a lot more teaching and performing.
Fun facts:
I have a 2 year old Pit Bull named Apollo. I adore my baby and he travels everywhere with me.
I was born in Boston but raised in New York.
I was adopted at age 6 as an only child by a single mom so it was just us growing up.
I love the arts and am always down to see a show! Could be music, theatre, dance, really anything!
I’m so excited about my journey here with Suicide Girls and look forward to sharing more soon!!
Much Love,
Tess 💋
