Paris Kennedy is a Bitch.

Hi.

I felt compelled to write a little blurb about turning 30 yesterday. You see, I made a promise to myself when I first started in this business that I would never lie about my age. Sure, it’s a *little *annoying when I see models 10 years older than me claim to be 29, but whatever that’s their prerogative and I get why a lot of models feel that they have to in this biz. I totally get it. I just don’t want to. Plus with the Internet, it’s really not that hard to find out a model’s real age.

Listen, I have always been honest about one thing. I first started in this business for one reason: to make money. I was 19, broke and the idea of staying a receptionist for $200 a week was killing me. I have always been fascinated by sex and when I answered that first ad in the back of the L.A. Weekly…well, it changed my life. I thought I would do a few shoots, work in pro-BDSM, make some quick cash and move on. I NEVER expected to be working in adult for 11 years. Never. The fact that I was able to work my entire 20’s in this business, wow that is amazing to me. I never expected it to last this long and it has been an INCREDIBLE 11 years. I feel very lucky.

I was always aware that I was not what most people would call a “traditional” beauty. But my fans saw something in me that I guess they thought was pretty cool. And they have been loyal to me all these years, especially on the fetish side, which was always where I belonged and felt most at home.

I guess what i’m really trying to say is thank you. Thank you for letting me have this amazing job so long. Thank you for saving me from working a job I hated. Thank you. Thank you for giving me a chance. No matter where my future takes me, or what future careers I have I will always be to grateful I was able to do this.

And even though I mostly just shoot for my own websites these days, this is not a “retirement” post, whatever that means. I hope to have many different careers throughout my life, but I hope to always run my sites and continue shooting other amazing, beautiful models and performers.

So just, thank you. I am not a perfect person. Far from it. I have made a lot of mistakes in my life, in my career. But I feel like little by little I have become a better person. I’m not the same person I was three years ago. I don’t even feel like the same person I was a year ago. I hope to continue to become a better person and a better friend in this next chapter of my life.

So bring it on 30’s! I am ready for you. And i’m going to rock you. SO hard.
