A Letter from Kitty Rae
International bondage and fetish model
I am mostly a speaker. I talk to people, I help them out, I welcome them in the kink community or the poly community.I am also a visual advocate. Of confidence, of sexuality, of freedom. I believe in the joy of being open to the world and letting it embrace you as you are, being a bondage model is one route I chose. I wish for all to find the strength to be themselves and I try to lend a hand on that journey. This course embodies so much of what I have learned, sometimes the hard way but I'll help you avoid those typical beginner's mistakes.
I am an explorer of life always looking for my next adventure, wherever I may find it and whichever shape it might take. I can guarantee that life as a bondage model will bring you plenty of adventures and opportunities of travel. Start that journey today!
