I started dressing up around 4 or 5 years old. I remember being in my mom’s room and I was drawn to that drawer where all the magical stuff resides. It was there I came across a black silk full cami slip. As soon as I touched the fabric it was nothing like I had ever experienced before. The feeling sent shockwaves through  my body as it touched my skin. From there it took hold in me to explore further.

I knew some ladies that were exotic dancers and I loved how creative their names were.  It was early 2000s and the name Jessica was very popular like Jessica Simpson and Jessica Alba. I wanted something that was similar to an exotic dancer/porn star.

So I came up with Jessica Storm

I believe to be good at anything it requires practice and dedication. If it interests you then it’s an enjoyable experience.

I am a bit of a perfectionist and I could never really get to the level I wanted to be at without total dedication. I really focused and immersed myself in the lifestyle to get where I needed to be. I am always ordering dresses and modeling stuff . I mix it up everyday to an extent, leggings and jeans and mostly dress up when I have a show.

I am married to a wonderful woman who does support me and even buys me things she thinks Jessica may need like leggings or new makeup.

The perfect photo requires several things:  Number one is lighting. The lighting has to be perfect. Too light or dark ruins opportunities to capture a moment.

Your hair and makeup should blend with your outfit.

Finally your poses and camera angles can make you look like a movie star or very unflattering.

I find if i feel confident with my hair and makeup then it’s all about coordinating the perfect dress and pairing it with the perfect shoes.

I tend to not follow fashion trends. I just like what I like. I’ve been called a sophisticated Barbie girl. I guess this is because I tend to like very girly-girl outfits. I have a very mature sophisticated feminine style. It’s classy, elegant and sexy at the same time. I love wrap dresses and corporate sexy wear as well as anything pink or off-white. I have a real passion for women’s formal wear also and own several evening gowns

I also love pantyhose. I used to wear more traditional pantyhose as that’s what the women in my family wore. They were the control top and very thick active support kind. over the years I experimented with lighter super shiny glossy ones that really look and feel amazing on your legs. They are also very breathable and light. I order them online from Italy although I am sure you can find others closer.

As far as stockings I have them in every color. The lace top is super sexy. Mine have to come up to the upper thigh as I find some barely covering the knee. It just feels and looks strange.

When it comes to shoes, I think both heels and flats are must have! I am not a flats kind of girl but you need to read the room. For me I am 5ft 8 so wearing 5 inch heels make me an amazon. I pass well but why draw the extra attention in public? When wearing a pretty dress you need pretty heels!

I’m more of a homebody but when I do go out it’s usually dressed to the nines for a show. I don’t really go out to clubs but I can see myself doing a girls day at the mall!

A s for accessories, pearls are a must have to add class to that perfect dress. I also love anything that glitters!

I am probably dating myself but as a kid the first woman that truly inspired me was Ginger on Gilligan’s Island. I loved the glamour, the dresses and her figure. That set the bar for me. After that I would watch Miss America Pageants for the evening gown competition. I just loved how glamorous the women were and the dresses! I guess it all geared me towards the Barbie Look and image.

I am a professional female illusionist singer and performer/artist. I got my start primarily hosting Burlesque shows. I am really skilled at dressing for my body which I think is important. I find if you highlight your feminine features you can bring focus away from less desirable or masculine features.

I think my perfect job would be femme music artist but I also think i would be an amazing femme consultant for women looking to feel and look beautiful . If I can do it, so can you!

After seeing the play “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” I was inspired to develop a character to sing and perform on stage as a woman. I began putting together how I thought she should look and sound. I wrote and recorded two songs for my debut.

Unfortunately there were not too many options for venues for me to test the waters. So I decided a local drag bar may be a good fit. However the drag queens were less than pleasant to me. I think because I was an unknown. I did not get a friendly vibe at all. It was more like a very catty/Mean Girls club.  My nerves were high but my performance was okay.

I could tell I impressed people in the audience. As it turns out there were some burlesque ladies in the audience that invited me to host shows for them.  I had no experience with burlesque but as fate would have it I was thrust into the burlesque world. This totally changed up my look and image as well as my direction. I ended up getting  schooled in hair and make up. Plus working with all women was the perfect environment for me as it was like finishing school. I learned so much!. There was no attitude we were all about helping women feel and look sexy! 

I did this for five years but it ended after Covid. My boss had to close down her doors.

I have always been pretty for a male and growing up I was always mistaken for a girl. When I was older it would still happen some days more than others. Some women would pick this up immediately even despite my best efforts. We are all a mix of yin and yang some of us have a bit more than others but it’s what makes us unique   

I must admit I am not very good at social media. I am mostly on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jessica.storm.908 I do have an Instagram but again not very good at it. I have some music up on a site I wrote called reverbnation. I am writing more content for it.

When it comes to where to begin, I would advise to invest in a good quality wig if you do not already have your own hair. They can be expensive but a decent synthetic usually costs $30 to $60. Real human hair can get very expensive.

Invest in good quality makeup and brushes. Its important to throw away old makeup and clean your brushes as you do not want to spread bacteria in your eyes!

Also learn from other women as much as you can. It’s best to learn from your peers. Take advantage of Youtube makeup tutorials and fashion.   When venturing out, read the room and dress for where you are going.

Most importantly, have fun!
