Hi there! I am Venus, your 6'5" 280-pound Goddess! My life started
in Tucson, Arizona where I was born a 21" long, 8lbs. 2oz.
baby... who would imagine I'd grow to become the towering Amazon
Goddess I am today?
Looking back, I always remember being the tallest child starting
from kindergarten on. By the age of 12, I was already about 6' tall! I began playing volleyball and basketball in the 7th grade
and soon discovered I had a great talent for both sports. By the
time I entered high school at the age of 14, I was 6'3" tall and
instantly became the star player in my school. I started in
varsity volleyball and basketball as a freshman. By my sophomore
year it was evident I'd play at the collegiate level, so my
parents moved me to a larger school in Durango, Colorado in
order to maximize my opportunities for a college scholarship. I
reached the height of 6'5" by my senior year, at the age of 17 and my feet had grown to a
size 12. Finding clothing and shoes for a woman my height
proved to be a major pain in the ass.. LOL!! I did win that
scholarship and attended the University of Colorado on a
basketball scholarship! During my freshman year in college, our
team made it to the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament. College
was quite the experience and I basically became a workhorse for
my coach--which by the middle of my sophomore year, burned me
out. In order to maintain my sanity, I decided to give up my
scholarship and return home. The following year I attended UNC
Greeley where I was a red shirt, but by that time I really
didn't seem to have my heart in it and slowly lost interest in
everything. I left school for the last time at the end of that
year and returned home to start "real life"!
My twenties saw me living at home for a short while where I
began working in the casino business. I learned how to deal
blackjack and soon moved to Denver to try my hand a working in
Central City. While living in Denver I met my ex-husband. We
married in 1997 and moved back to my hometown, where I continued
working in the casino business. I became pregnant in 2000 and my
son was born in 2001. In 2003, I divorced and retained full
custody of my son. I also continued working and excelling in the
casino business until I reached management level. I enjoyed my
work but after 5 years in casino management, I decided I had
enough of the "BS" and took a huge leap of faith to quit and go
back to school. I followed my dream of attending cosmetology
school to become an esthetician. This also gave me the
opportunity to partner with my Mom in her hair salon business
she's had for 30 years. We expanded the salon into a
beautifully modern and serene day spa. Life continues to improve
itself, with the recent addition of my boyfriend,
Craig, whom I love with all my heart. And having recently joined
this world of Amazons, I look forward to meeting many nice and
interesting people--it really is an exciting new adventure.
My hope is to express myself through my photos and allow you to
enjoy my size as much as I do.
-Your Amazon Goddess Venus
