I'm not sure how I first met Darenzia. We know so many people in common that, when she approached me and Forrest to shoot for Penthouse, I just felt like I knew her already. Darenzia was then working as photo editor for Penthouse. Penthouse might have been having its own troubles, but Darenzia was on her way up.

Darenzia is an old school deathrocker and a classically trained ballerina, just the sort of study in contrasts I adore most. Forrest and I have shot Darenzia for Gothic Sluts, Barely Evil, Marquis, the Folsom Fair Street Guide, and extensively for RubberDollies.com as her latex wardrobe is amazing and she wears it so well.

Some of Darenzia's other legion of credits include the cover of Secret and gracing the pages of Skin Two, Varla, Bizarre, Nugget, Hustler's Taboo, Gothic Beauty, and Propaganda. And she even appeared, rocking the mohawk, on the cover of a science fiction novel by Carlton Mellnick called Punkland. Hot!

And, I'm only going to say this because Darenzia is totally out about her relationship, but her boi is super duper cute and smart and cool and I think he is going to be a name photographer one of these days. So not all hot girls go for wretched guys!
