Herstory
Cotton began her career in the mid ninties as a party fixture, looking gorgeous and being the life of the party. She then began modelling and performing while recruting other unearthly beauties to join her unearthly group of "VenusGirls". Her philosophy was simple "love and Beauty". As acting "House Mother" She nurtured the girls and started many careers only to find it was time to move on and do it for herself! She has since become on of the world's most sought after glamour girls performing all over the Globe. Cotton started acting and singing in the early 2000's and continues to dazzle on all sizes of screens with her hilarious sence of humour and fantastic beauty. Now you can catch her on 'The House of Venus TV SHow" not to mention tons of other great projects including her upcoming album to be released in early 2007. Cotton continue to collaborate with some of the best and has tons more in store! So watch out world ! Being majorlly influenced with strong image and stronger music bands like Siouxsie and The Banshees, Grace Jones, Deee Lite to name a few, Cotton came out of the club scene. Her very first undocumented appearances happened in Windsor Ontario and Detroit Michigan in 1993 where she modelled in Benson's Mange le Mode Fashion Show at, The State Theatre in friendly downtown Detroit. From there she was doing Artcite's wearable art fashion show Neuroskin and she realized the stage was her. Cosmically replanted in a tiny fishing villa called Vancouver in 1995. She shocked the city with her beauty and long luscious legs. This is where it really all began as "The House of Venus" was born with founder and (twin brother) Michael Venus tagged up with west Coast DJ Wizard Dickey Doo and gang. The Venus kids created a whole new brand of nightlife with the Legendary "Gin Gallery" parties which then grew into taking over a thug afterhours club called,"The World".This carried the tourch for nearly three years until it was destoyed and became the nightmare it is today! Anyways Cotton led the pack of wild "Girls" which were eyepopping candy at all Venus events. Her pal Luka and herself were infamous for their unbelievably sexiness and killer fashions. ( The House of Venus was a fashion House for many years too!)Venus did many events and club nights (Planet Fag and Devils Disco @ Celebrities, Drag On Fire, Nice, SleazeBall and so on)over the nineties and began branching out performing in New York at WIGSTOCK and in San Francisco at TRANNYSHACK to name a small few. They also started influencial friends like Lady Bunny, Girlina, Candis Cayne, Perfidia, Alexis Arquette and Joey Arias. Cotton began doing alot of runway work as well as different roles in independant films and contined all of her craft into the new Millenium. As the clock ticked 2000 and as fate would have it the"House " took a different route as newest member Mark Kenneth Woods joined the then threesome of an artist collective. Cotton became Mark's muse and stared along with him in the "Pimp N Ho" film series which brought them to Tokyo for the "Twelve Annual Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. With all the international attention they kept continuing to get it was time to make a dream come true and "The House of Venus Television Show" was born. Knowing she wasn't using her full potential Cotton started working with Organised Rhyme originator "Big Stuff" and other producers on music projects. Between travelling, performing and looking gorgeous Miss Cotton resides in Vancouver Canada where she continues to create positive "Venus"energy for a sometimes cold world...
