Читать книгу Tell Me a Secret - True Confessions of Britain's Most Erotic Dancers and Models - Dawn Simpson - Страница 48

I was trained at Laine Theatre Arts School and I am a professional dancer and qualified teacher. I also studied musical theatre. This formed the major part of my career prior to taking up modelling on a full-time basis earlier in 2004.

It started when a friend recommended me for my first modelling assignment. She had many years’ experience and had appeared on Page 3 etc. She had started an agency of her own and I was one of her first models. I had previously done some fashion modelling on an occasional basis, but never really knew if I had what it takes to go full-time. She convinced me that I could make it in the glamour industry, even though, at the time, topless was not an option.

My first big break was as the new face of Golden Tee Golf, including a poster campaign and a live appearance at the British Masters, where I met with the Ryder Cup golfers. One of the golfers even asked me out on a date.

My face started to appear in pubs all over the country, and it was a great feeling to be recognised as I walked into a bar.

I have to say that first assignment felt wicked and that’s what got me hooked.
