After talking about Sharlene Royer, I’ve decided from time to time to discuss local talent. What do I mean by that? Simple. I’ll introduce you to some worthy Sirens coming from Montreal or the province of Quebec region. As the Canadian dollar becomes more and more valuable, you’ll see that the quality of our female entertainers has always been top-notch!
OK now, there has been many fetish models in the history of photography: the justifiably inevitable Bettie Page comes to mind, also Pamela Green… More recently, the popularity of the Internet has been responsible for another kind of derivative subculture, where fetish personalities can enjoy more direct interaction with their fans (who can be counted by millions, seems like). Popular current models like Simone Devon, Darla Crane, Ashley Renee, Jewell Marceau, Julie Simone, Kiana, Dita Von Teese, Eve Ellis, DragonLily and countless others vie for your attention (and your $$$!) in glamorous bondage/fetish pictorials. This multi-million dollar business has been a staple on the Web since its conception. How do I know all this, I faintly hear you asking? Because I care for you, gentle reader, and would go to any length to offer credible research. Let’s say that you’ll be meeting more of these alluring ladies in the months to come. Always in tasteful presentation, has it’s been my usual trademark. Right? Right!?!?!?
Remember the difficulty in past days in acquiring that kind of “controversial” material, sold under the counter in some specialized stores. Remember Irving Klaw’s empire, which is the stereotype of how all these transactions worked. Or even John Willie’s own Bizarre publication, managed in the 50s from a mailbox in Montreal. Montreal nesting a secret bondage pix ring! Unbelievable! Ah, the beauty of waiting by the mailbox and hoping that the kindly mailman didn’t mixed your confidential envelope with your neighbor’s. Now, with the magic a simple mouse click, wonders awaits you in a most ultimate immediacy. If only we could stop the horrible abuse that gives a bad name to a most wonderful and educational tool.
But let such grim thoughts be out of our minds for the next few minutes. Let’s enjoy info on our main subject for today, Bianca Beauchamp by name, who was born in Montreal on October 14, 1977, from a French-Canadian father and Italian mother. It seems that she was named after popular 70s socialite and frequent Studio 54 guest Bianca Jagger. In late 1995, Bianca met photographer Martin Perreault when she was 18 and they began an association that has lasted to this day, centering around latex fetish photography (and also a loving relationship as bonus). When her then-employers (Bianca was in a teaching internship at her former high school) discovered her newly-launched website, she was asked to abandon that shameful foolishness or lose her job. She briefly complied but eventually decided to pursue her modeling career full-time. Lucky for us, so let’s all loudly thank Quebec’s public education system! On her birthday in 1997, Bianca wed Martin. The couple is still principally based in Montreal, that cesspool of fleshly sins, one of the world’s capital in the sexy webcams market.
So, latex fetish modeling, yes. There’s a future in it, my friends. Bianca has the distinction of being one of the few model ever to grace the cover of one of the industry’s prime publication, Bizarre Magazine. Find a copy today. There’s also Marquis, for which Bianca writes a column, and Skin Two. Even the Playboy empire came to her door, for the Girls of Canada calendar (twice to date) and some Special Editions issues. Seriously, this is an exceptional achievement for this niche, like having your picture on Sports Illustrated after winning the World Series.
Physically, Bianca’s bouncy frame proposes these comfortable dimensions: 5 ft 2 in, 115 lb, 32DD-25-35. Is there any way to be more precise? She has a trademark of fiery red hair, but like many other fetish personalities, owns a collection of colorful wigs. Oh and she never apologized for having breasts implants, so there. But Bianca, I implore you, don’t get blonde too often!
In 2006, Bianca launched her first glossy hardcover book, Bianca Beauchamp - Fetish Sex Symbol, with absolutely amazing high quality visual material. I mean, this is precise photography, in a most attractive and professional package. She even shared the lens with the legendary Julie Strain, she who was designated by Bettie Page to be her successor. Nice company, indeed. For the video game SiN Episodes, Bianca portrayed the character Elexis Sinclaire, evil biochemist and main villain.
Late 2007 saw the release of Bianca Beauchamp: All Access, a documentary about Bianca’s involvement in an event called Montreal Fetish Weekend, a three day extravangaza about dressing up in bizarre shiny clothing. Here’s a way to discreetly find all about latex fashion, of course, in an amusing and candid way, without leaving the comfort of your living room. Directed by Perreault, this production had its premiere at the 2007 FanTasia Film Festival, which I used to cover as a journalist back in its early editions. Get your hands on the 2-disc DVD now, because there’s tons of exquisite extras for your viewing pleasure.
On her website, you get the chance to choose the latex section or the more casual bikini/lingerie/nude photos section. I must admit that this site should be a model for that kind of material, for its visual impact and clear navigation. It helps a lot to have a subject as unique and fascinating as Bianca, needless to say.
The awful truth about our Latex Siren is this: through it all, Bianca Beauchamp remains a sweet and engaging girl, who doesn’t play the intimidation game, which is quite refreshing. She reigns on the fetish glamour international circuit and who are we to argue?
