It’s very easy to be fooled by Francine Dee. That voice, which isn’t dissimilar to that of the helium-voiced actress Rosie Perez, and those huge enhanced breasts immediately scream at you that this is your common or garden adult model. But to suggest that’s all there is to this Oriental beauty who has created most of her career off the back of an outstanding official site that she has almost full control over would be a pretty big mistake.
Her initial modelling assignments would prove to be a slight soul-destroying experience for her as she revealed in her biography on her official site. Feeling ‘pale and shapeless’ compared to the other models at a calendar shoot in 1998, she decided to take things a little more slowly in her pursuit of becoming a career model, and found herself working on the import car racing scene. The reaction to her appearances was immediately positive although it was far from being the area she expected to be successful in at that time.
Her success there though led to several appearances in 1999 for Playboy’s Special Editions magazine, which were her main breakthrough in modelling. At this time though she still hadn’t told her parents of where she was earning her money, and when did eventually tell them in 2000 their reaction was not a positive one. She does believe though that they have grown to respect her work in the years that have followed.
Francine Dee actually had her breasts enlarged prior to her first appearance on the cover of Oriental Dolls magazine and not later in her career as had originally been suggested in some quarters. Her modelling career continued to move on steadily and she continued to enjoy working in the car industry and is regarded as one of the pioneers for glamour models working within that industry in the States. But she has also found that her exotic looks had allowed her to command something of a cross-ethnic fanbase.
Indeed, she garnered such a large following within the African-American community that she had even featured in a calendar that was supposed to feature black women only. This wouldn’t be the last time she would feature in a product in which she jumped over ethnic issues either and continue to build on this support base. Francine Dee would go on to make an appearance in the ‘black’ comedy Soul Plane, a film regarded as being an African-American version of Airplane!
But she perhaps would become best known for her appearance and starring role in a Hip Hop Honeys DVD, segments of which would receive repeated coverage on several cable music stations in Europe. In the same year she would also see the release of a Francine Dee DVD as well featuring her in provocative stripping performances. She was well and truly ensconced as a glamour and nude model now, but she would be about to receive mainstream recognition too.
An appearance on the dating show Blind Date in 2004 brought her to the attention of a wider audience and she ended up with a fair amount of sympathy as her date turned out to be not quite the gentleman she would have perhaps been hoping for. All in all though, 2004 turned out to be an excellent year for the shapely Oriental babe. By this time, her official website had become one of the better solo model sites around, but she believed she could make it even better.
And so it would turn out to be the case. If you visit her website today then the sheer range of options open to you is astounding. It terms of being personable and close to her members, Francine Dee is renowned as one of the very best. Live chats, cameras placed around her house, a constantly updated diary, user-submitted requests, and much more besides makes it one of the most complete ‘personality’ sites that you are likely to see.
It’s through this avenue that she seems to be focusing her attention at the moment too and as a model that has always been eager to please and mix with her fans, it’s not surprising she has taken this route. If only many other models were as hard-working at this side of their personalities.
