Ulorin Vex - pinup model

Ulorin Vex was born and raised in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in the UK. She graduated from the University of Durham and began her career as an alternative model shortly after, modelling collections for numerous latex clothing designers and appearing on stage at events such as the Skin Two Rubber Ball.

She was based in London until the summer of 2009. In 2011 she moved to the USA and is currently based in Los Angeles.

In addition to being model on the alternative pinup scene, she describes herself as “a hair dye enthusiast, high heel fetishist and 80s fangirl”.
