A lot of people seem to think they know me because they’ve seen
me online, but do they know the real Eve Blake? You might be surprised at just
how normal I am when I’m not all dolled up and being a “Glamour-puss”. I was
born in the Florida Keys and moved around a lot as a kid. I have a close-knit
family spread out all over the US, and I tend to travel a lot even now. I love
camping out in the middle of nowhere, either in the mountains, the desert, the
woods, or especially on the beach. You could say I love the simple things in
life: hanging out with my family and friends, But even though I’m a tomboy at
heart, I still have my girly side. I love to put on makeup, get a facial, get my
hair done (I tend to dye my hair a lot, so you never know what color it will
be), get all dressed up for dinner and dancing. And I LOVE playing in front of
the camera, but you already knew that! I also have an academic and professional
streak. I was valedictorian of my high school, and won a merit scholarship to a
private university. I got a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature and
Composition. I always thought I would be a writer, but either didn’t have enough
motivation to write or didn’t have a good story to tell. So I went into editing,
which had its ups and downs. Then I discovered modeling and worked at it
part-time while keeping a “real” job. When I lost that job due to restructuring,
I decided to give full-time modeling a go and opened my website up the first
time. I was very successful for a few months and really enjoyed what I was
doing. People really seemed to respond to my pictures. Then, a painful and
frightening thing happened. One night, while driving home from a friend’s house,
I was hit by a drunk driver and my back was broken. I spent several weeks in the
hospital and had two surgeries, which successfully rebuilt my spine. I had to
wear a back brace for three months and undergo lots of physical therapy. When it
first happened, I was afraid I’d never be the same. I was afraid my scars (not
to mention the titanium rods that were installed in my back) would prevent me
from modeling again. I closed down my site and thought about moving on. But the
love of modeling just kept bringing me back. Photographers and fans alike called
and emailed, asking me when I’d be coming back to modeling. And now, over a year
later, I have. When model and webmistress Ivy Faulkner emailed and asked if I
would be interested in working with her to open a site, I jumped at the chance.
It’s really great to work with another model, especially one as sweet and sexy
as her. I hope you’ll enjoy looking at my site as much as I enjoy making it.
Once you join, I hope you’ll email me to tell me what you liked the best. I
can’t wait to hear from you all!
Love & Kisses Always,
Eve
