2004 saw her appear in a music video by Kanye West. Her stunning looks saw her pose for playboy at age 40 and since then she has launched her own lingerie line called Letters of Marque. The lingerie collection is Victorian inspired but softened by detailing such as ribbons, pearl buttons and chantilly lace. The online store can be found here.
