Initially, she couldn’t picture herself posing in a tiny bikini. In the early 1980s, she was inspired by photos of female bodybuilders, especially of Rachel McLish, to whom Michiko bore a striking resemblance. She has been a SPFX body paint model and performance specialist for over a 15 years, and is a prolific NZ burlesque artist, known for her innovative, avant-garde and physically brilliant performances that she has brought to the industry over the past decade.
