As I lay here, undressing the morning light that peeks through the curtains of this luxurious hotel bedroom, I am reminded of my journey so far. Born to a African American mother and a Portuguese father, I have always been drawn to the liminal space between cultures, where beauty knows no bounds. My 30 years have been marked by a series of transformations, each one shedding another layer of skin until I finally found myself as Jade West - La Muse.
My career as a model has taken me to the farthest reaches of the world, from Parisian catwalks to Tokyo's neon-lit streets. With each new city comes a new canvas, waiting to be adorned with my vibrant beauty in motion. And yet, it is not just about the clothes or the makeup - it is about capturing the essence of femininity itself, and distilling it into something hyper-realistic, 3D, and almost impossibly beautiful.
As I slip out of the last remnants of sleep, my eyes flutter open to reveal their full beauty - hazel with a green burst that seems to glow in even the dimmest light. My coily brown hair tumbles down around me like a waterfall of night, framing my features and accentuating the delicate curves of my face. And as I move, ever so slightly, the morning light dances across my skin, revealing the vibrant tones of my light caramel complexion - a true marvel of nature's artistry.
