Fresh
Dallas fetish model Angela Ryan is quickly making her mark on the
scene. Her classic visage and smooth porcelain skin juxtaposed with
fiery hair and a quirky attitude make her an enigma more than anything
else. This is, of course, why we like her! We spoke with Ryan about
some of her inspirations and idiosyncrasies.
Eros Zine: You began modeling in 2001, when you were 20 years
old. What did you think you might do as a career before that?
Angela Ryan: I have always been fascinated by the fashion industry.
Modeling just kind of fell in my lap. I enjoyed doing it, so I stuck
with it. I would someday like to work with a clothing company, maybe
become a makeup artist, or a fashion stylist.
Eros Zine: So who are some of your big time model inspirations?
Angela Ryan: As far as the fetish scene, I would have to say Dita Von
Teese. She is so graceful and has a classic beauty. She has an amazing
presence.
Eros Zine: When did you become a redhead and why?
Angela Ryan: I have been a redhead for almost seven years now. My mom
and sister are both natural redheads, and I was always bothered that
I wasn't one too. I guess I felt the need to one up them!
Eros Zine: You live in Dallas, Texas. What's the fetish scene like
there?
Angela Ryan: There is a thriving lifestyle community here, but the club
scene here is small. We only have one, The
Church, but it's probably the nicest fetish club I have been to
yet. They have fetish themed nights three times a week. I perform
there regularly.
Eros Zine: You have a tiny hat fetish. That's pretty unusual. What's
it about?
Angela Ryan: I LOVE tiny hats! I have no idea where it came from. I
just get really excited when I wear them or see someone else with
one on. I really think they make the outfit, and I feel like a better
person with one on.
Eros Zine: You've done a few encasement and bondage shoots. What aspects
of them do you enjoy? Do they translate to your personal life?
Angela Ryan: I plan on doing many more! I quite enjoy encasement and
bondage. I like being restricted and struggling to be freed. I do
like to incorporate these things into my personal life, but I also
like variety. It's boring to do the same thing all the time.
Eros Zine: You performed recently at the SF
Fetish Ball. What did you do and how did it go?
Angela Ryan: I performed on Friday night of the event at Club Enslaved
with Allen Falkner and
Athena Fatale. We did a good vs. evil skit. I was "good," Athena was
"evil," and Allen was the mortal man whose soul we were fighting for.
Allen had hooks in his back connected to a kavadi cage. I came out
and sang "Song to the Siren" by This Mortal Coil luring Allen to me,
but Athena ended up converting me to the dark side, taking me behind
a screen and transforming me into a demonette. Allen freed himself
from his cage by ripping the hooks from his back, and Athena and I
left him in ruins. We all had a great time!
Eros Zine: Sounds intense! What kind of things do you do besides
looking fabulous?
Angela Ryan: I have recently started singing. Surprisingly, I feel very
comfortable behind the microphone. I am working on incorporating that
more into my stage performances. I am also a bingo-holic. Sadly, I
haven't had much time to play lately. I also enjoy eating copious
amounts of macaroni and cheese.
Eros Zine: A girl after my own heart. What's your take on breast implants?
Angela Ryan: I go back and forth about getting them all the time. I'm
still undecided about them for myself, but if it makes you happy,
I say go for it. I do believe moderation is the key though.
Eros Zine: What's coming up for you in the future?
Angela Ryan: I have some major travel plans! That is my main focus this
year. I will be coming to a city
near you soon!
