Hi, I'm Darla Crane! Okay, first things first:

1. I CAN'T SPEND LOADS OF TIME ON HERE. I check my private messages and approve comments as often as possible but, with all the online profiles I currently maintain, there just aren't enough hours in the day to chitchat. [You'll have much better luck catching me on Twitter. Micro-blogging rocks, as you can see over on the left side of this profile. Thanks, Dez!]

2. I AM NOT HERE TO HOOK UP. It's nothing personal, I promise! I'm sure you're a total hottie and it's nothing personal against you! I love connecting with my friends, fans, and coworkers, but I'm not here looking for dates, play partners, or life partners. I really hope this doesn't sound harsh but you would not believe how many people write to tell me how pointless my life is without them in it. Trust me...I've got things nicely covered in that department.

3. I CAN'T HELP YOU GET INTO THE ADULT ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. I really wish I could help,! Unfortunately, there just isn't any magic recipe for me to offer you. Recently, however, some of my friends have attempted to put into words how the "average joe" might go about breaking into the sex biz...a quick Google or Bing search will probably be tons more helpful than little ol' me.


Okay, moving on!


I made my modeling debut in 1990, appearing in softcore bondage, tickling fetish and foot fetish videos, mostly for the companies Harmony Concepts and FM Concepts. I also appeared in several big-bust themed catfight and sensual wrestling videos for Napali Video. My love for makeup and costume design came in handy when I began performing at public events as costumed look-a-likes and soon, characters like Elvira, Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page began showing up in my fetish videos.


I have also been featured in multiple fetish periodicals, including Leg Show, Bondage Life, Skin Two, and Fantasy Fashion Digest.


After winning first-place fetishwear awards at Fetish Ball III (Los Angeles-1993) and Fetish Ball IV (Los Angeles-1994), I was honored when asked to be the poster-girl for Fetish Ball V (Los Angeles-1995).


In 1996 I was thrilled to be asked to model for legendary modern pin-up artist Olivia De Berardinis. Olivia was excited to have me wear a varied selection of my wigs and corsets for our session together. She "paid" me for modeling with an original painting of myself dressed in a mermaid costume! Several trading cards and greeting cards now feature Olivia's paintings of me.


Over the years, I have tried to remain active both in front of, and behind the camera. In 1997 I accepted a position with Close-Up Entertainment, Inc. producing, directing, and editing bondage and discipline themed videos. I would eventually also become responsible for much of the company's advertising and public relations elements. (I reluctantly ended my ten-and-a-half year relationship with CUE in late 2007, when the company underwent several dramatic changes.)


While at Close-Up, I specialized in videos featuring imperiled superheroines. I am proud to say that I was the first fetish video director ever to cast popular adult models Stacy Burke, Shay Sights, and Tanya Danielle in superheroine roles. The "SHiP" genre continues to be my favorite to produce.


In 2000 I began adding more mainstream adult films to my resume. I'm quite lucky to have appeared on the front boxcover of almost every mainstream adult production I've appeared in!


In 2002, when everything was finally perfect, I finally launched my own personal membership website. DarlaCrane.net is the first place where my fans have the opportunity to communicate with me directly and as often as they want. Members have access to my Personal Journal, my Calendar of Events, and my Private Email Address. They can write me as often as they want and always expect a reply.


I was tickled pink the first time I saw myself referred to as the "Bettie Page of the 90's" in print.


My fans know that I'm an ardent fan of toys and action figures. They often send me dolls and figures made up...and sometimes TIED-up...to look like me!
