Not just exquisite legs and feet, but also a fascinating model who proposes her own inimitable style... let's discover Detra Thorn!
1) Can you tell us a bit about your background and where are you from?
I was born in San Diego, CA. but grew up in Chula Vista, CA. As far as my heritage, my father is of Italian & Hungarian descent. My mother is of German & Irish descent.
2) How and when did you get interested in modeling?
I started modeling in my teen years. I have always had a love/hate relationship with modeling. I was never tall or thin enough to be considered for runway so I slowly steered away from it, in my early 20's found a love for it again just recently after working with some amazing photographers that accepted me for me... curves and all. :)
3) Now with your perfectly shaped gorgeous legs and amazing feet, you’re now specializing in leg/foot fetish imagery. Was this planned on your part or did you just stumble upon that theme by accident?
Total accident. I've never thought of myself as having nice legs or feet. After working with a photographer that had a personal foot fetish and noticed my feet and legs right away, he made me feel beautiful and encouraged me to focus in those areas and well, the rest is history. :)
4) Do you have a love/hate relationship with tortuous high heels… or have they all become your best friends
Love/Hate for sure! I love heels! They are sexy but not practical. Especially since I've had back surgery, very bad idea to walk around in them for any long duration.
5) Would you ever be intrigued to take part in photo projects like classic pin-up, cosplay, or even fetish attire (leather, latex, etc.)? Or how about light bondage, damsels in distress stuff?
Yes! All of that is right up my alley!
6) You made some sort of Holiday Special concerning your feet… how did this came about?
That was the photographer’s original idea. We had built a great working relationship but now he is working on other projects and no longer can commit to it. I am carrying on the dream so anyone that wants to shoot some holiday feet, I'm your girl! :)
7) You’re also attracted by horror themes… do you have a favorite horror film? What would you like to explore more with this kind of style?
Yes! I've always been drawn to darker things in life. Classic horror films are the best! I must say, The Exorcist still scares the shit outta me to this day. I would love to add some "true crime" style photos to my port.
8) What is your relation with the fetish scene? Do you get to attende fetish events a lot? Do you "play" in real life?
I'm actually pretty quiet & shy. I do enjoy going to the local Goth clubs around town from time to time for dancing. I love getting to dress up and lose myself on the dance floor in a trance for hours.
9) Of course, there will be this inevitable question: what decided you to adopt your intriguing model name?
I had an old screen name of Devious Thoughts that I used to go by at one time so I knew I wanted to stick with the DT theme. Detra (pronounced: Dee -Tra) is a name I've always liked that is unique and doesn't really have a meaning other than "to be" and Thorn gave it just enough edge. So, "to be a thorn" just seemed so fitting. Haha. :)
10) Are there any more models and photographers out there that you keep an eye on? Or any other artists that inspired you in the past?
There are so many models, artists and photographers that inspire me. I have so much respect for people that take chances and risks. David Lynch is amazing and has always been my absolute favorite! :)
11) Have you ever consider launching your own website or even selling some foot fetish clips?
Wow! If I were popular enough, sure why not? For now, it's just a hobby and I love that some have noticed and appreciate what I do.
12) Did you have the chance to travel a lot for assignments? Howzabout coming up to Canada one of these days?
I wish! My day job and finances limit the amount of travel I do but I would love to visit Canada one day. :)
