Julie Simone is known as the bondage queen. She was introduced to this
lifestyle through an accidental decision she made on one of her photo
shoot as a glamour model. The photographer asked her if she wanted to
try bondage and not knowing what it was, she said, “Sure.” From then on,
she has explored that world as a model and as a photographer/filmmaker.
Her interest in the process of finding one’s self through submission and
pain has led her to become closely associated with it.
Simone was a native of Texas before her family moved to Germany. She
returned to the US in 1984. She has been traveling around the US
extensively and has graced several fetish websites as well as glamour
ones. Her life revolved around modeling for 8 years before entering the
fetish world. When she gave the accidental “sure” to her photographer,
she started to make waves in the industry.
She was voted Best Rigger in the World during the 2004 SIGNY Bondage
awards. Aside from being a model, Simone is also a photographer whose
works appear in Bizarre Magazine, Secret Magazine, and Fetish Photo
Anthology. In her free time, Simone paints, writes, and shoots art
photography.
