Last Minute Move!!!!!

I am a Charlotte Model who travels for her work. I grew up in Charlotte, I like Charlotte, I feel like the Arts have yet to truly grow in Charlotte and I would like to stick around to help with that growth. I definitely am a niche market. I am agency standard as they call it, the right height and weight and attractiveness for a model but unlike commercial models I am tattooed. I want to be the first really heavily tattooed model to be a fashion model. I travel for my work, finding fashion photographers to support my cause and getting published in high fashion magazines, fashion forward clothing catalogs, etc.

Because I live here though, I have a night job as well as traveling on avg. once a month for work. I bartend, nightly, sometimes without a day off, 7 days a week. I settled into Charlotte only about a year ago, when I decided it was best to stay off the road and only travel once a month, for my sanity, peace of mind at having a place to call home, and more importantly a place to start more art projects like my own clothing company and to be here for Charlotte's Art Scene. I had so much trouble getting an apartment I had to have a co-signer! When one is self-employed or her work is sub-contracted, its like they expect you to not have to live anywhere!!! MY current place is a luxury apartment in the heart of Plaza-Midwood, and my lease is up in a week.

It has taken lots of applications and pleading to finally find a place that will approve me, but lots of places had me hanging by a thread and now it is almost too late. The reason I wanted to move in the first place was to have a more affordable cost of living so I can pursue my dream career and not just be a overworked bartender/entertainer. Working that job takes a lot out of me, I have to take a 45min ride on public transport to work everyday and work til 3am only to hitch a ride with a co-worker get home, eat, get up, and do it all over again, everyday, without rest, and still with entertainment economy on a downward spiral at the end of the summer, everyone putting finances toward their children's education and last min vacays, I am not pulling enough in in so little time. Please please donate anything you can to help me get into this new place. The money listed is first month's rent($600), the other half of my security deposit($225) (already put $200 down day I was approved) and the cost of mover's (I work so much I have few friends with trucks and my father is too old to be able to move me himself so instead of a UHaul I need a moving company). I just cannot guarantee I will make it in time with just my bartending tips and check, on good days I make $200 in tips but lately its been $20, $30, maybe $60 a night in tips.

Please check out my work, my life, the start of my modeling can be seen on my pages, I first did Tattoo Magazine Covers, and fetish performances, but I want to push boundaries, do more worthwhile things with my abilities, and shoot fashion. Donations received can be rewarded with prints, from new to old shoots, clothing: great 90s vintage finds I have a knack for finding and selling on my Etsy Store, to screen print tees and totes I will be completing after I move, to my new loose-fit latex tanks and tees I will be completing after my move, to photoshoots of your choosing, photos just for you, to coming to visit you this year for a photoshoot with you as the photographer or specific fetish videos(limits of course will be set with these, since I am a retired fetish model this is very special)!!!

Help a girl grow, a city grow in accepting odd jobs, I especially want to prove that now that the realty company approved me, but waited a week to do it, despite their trying to thwart me, I will succeed!!!! I only put the bare minimum own, I still have electric, internet, water, and my phone bill but shelter is the most important, everything else can wait!!!

Just Google search my model name: Kat Kalashnikov plus either Facebook, tumblr, or in general for my .com (which is down right now because I cannot pay my website builder monthly fee), Tumblr shows my most recent to oldest, in photos of my work. 

Thank you so much!!
