BIANCA BEAUCHAMP Quick Latex Biography. [ Note: This bio focuses mainly on my modeling beginnings in the world of latex. You may complete your reading by going to the “bio" and “stats” sections on my other site www.biancabeauchamp.com. ] I was born in Montreal on October 14, 1977 as a Libra. My father is French Canadian and my mother is second generation Italian. My father was the one who chose the name Bianca, meaning “white” in Italian. Unfortunately, my mother never did learn Italian so she couldn't teach me... So I speak French and I manage quite well in English. To focus more on latex, I bought my first dress at the age of 18. It was short and sleeveless from Polymorphe, a Montreal-based designer that would eventually become an important associate of mine. I had found the dress in one of Montreal’s many sex shops. When I first saw it my reaction was one of surprise and then fear. I always liked sexy clothes as well as kinky experiences and I was quite open, even at a young age. But, because this fabric was foreign to me and Martin had immediately liked this particular dress, I felt insecure and in uncharted territory. I’m also the type of person that goes beyond her fears so I secretly went back and bought the dress and a pair of black opera gloves a month later. It came up to $400 CND which was a lot for a girl still in school and working at McDonald’s! But it didn’t take me long to like this new fabric. I feel very sexy when I wear latex and I feel that my body is perfect, which is exactly how I felt wearing that dress! It’s funny how we look less tried in a red catsuit! :-) Apart from the look that latex gives, I also like its smooth texture and also its particular smeel, which can is sometimes sweet as well. It wasn’t too long after the purchase of my first dress that Martin had the idea to create a website dedicated to the love of latex. It was called Fetish Latex Lover and is unfortunately no longer active. And then, since he loved taking photos of me, he had the idea to launch Bianca’s Latex Lair. At first, I wasn’t pleased with the idea. Once again, I felt insecure towards the unknown and myself ni general. I was under the impression that no one would visit my site. Boy, was I wrong! The Lair was born in December 1998 and rapidly became highly visited. So I dived into this adventure, but with some reluctance. I loved posing in front of the camera (which I hated doing between the ages of 13-16) and seducing everyone that would see the photos. But sometimes I would find it hard to let go without criticizing myself and being afraid of ridicule. Today, this fear has completely vanished and modeling was the perfect therapy to get rid of it. Every new shoot gives me the opportunity to bring forth my emotions and to play with the camera. Each experience brings me new satisfaction and personal growth. I don’t think I could ever stop living this wonderful feeling. At the same time as my early modeling career, I was a university student in French Grammar and then French Language Education. It was actually during one of my teaching internships that one of the school’s teachers had found my site by “pure coincidence” and reported it to the university. To make a long story short, I was forced to close down my site for a while or else fail my internship. And that’s what I did. But I missed modeling more than I thought I would and now I wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend the rest of my life teaching. I therefore decided to jump feet first and started modeling full time ending my studies at the beginning of my 3rd year. My modeling career allowed me to travel to many wonderful places around the world. Like my first trip to Cuba where I shot some scenes from my very first DVD (it was called DREAMS & REALITY) and where I went many times since then. I also spent a great 3 weeks in Europe shooting under the Eiffel Tower, on the streets of the Red Light District in Amsterdam and at a lake in Solingen, Germany. I travelled the world to wonderful exotic fetish parties, like the London Rubber Ball, Fertish Evolution in Germany, San-Francisco Fetish Ball, Fort-Lauderdale's Fetish Factory, Kink in The Carebbeans in Jamaica, and many more. Each trip makes me discover new cultures, have fun, shoot in new and different locations and make tons of new friends. Nonetheless, my favourite place is still here in Montreal, my hometown... Thanks to my patience, my love for latex and modeling, Martin’s excellent work in multimedia and photography and his continuing love, perseverance and confidence in me, our art has been published in all the major fetish magazines around the world. I invite you to have a look at the “magazines” section of the site to know more about my publications and covers. Today, my love for latex and modeling career is stronger than when I was 18. - Bianca
