Chelsea darling

Madison Morgan MacLeod (April 26, 1986) better known as Chelsea Darling is was an American artist, actress, muse and model who starred in several WakenTheDead, Mojokiss and Devin Dygert works.

Family
Chelsea Darling was adopted from Fernandina Beach, Florida by Margaret Parker, (1945) an artist and Robert William, (1952) a resort manager. She was named after Daryl Hannah's mermaid character in the 1986 Disney Movie Splash. She has never met her birth parents. She has three older step brothers from her mother's first marriage.

Modeling
Chelsea's modeling career began at 17 when she was scouted on Newbury Street in Boston. Immediately signed to Monsoon, she worked between Florida, New York and London promoting companies including Bacardi, NEXT and Harley Davidson. Realizing her potential as a model was directed toward alternative fashion, she changed her image to accommodate the wild child look we know today.

Now most notable for her eccentrically colored hair and cryptic ink work, Chelsea promotes herself as a proto-punk alternative fashion model. She is a perpetual muse to renown artists including Artpunk, Mojokiss, T.Kelly of Shear Terror and Joe Traina.

Other Work
Chelsea has expanded her talent into multiple areas. An admired painter by the youth counter culture, her lithograph style acrylic canvases have been shown in St Petersburg, New York and London.

Discovered by Jody Scheisser of Perpombellar Productions, most noted for their award winning film The Street Cleaner, Chelsea was offered the role of Kia in the independent movie You Are Beautiful to premier in Fall 2008.

Her sense of humor, on camera confidence and general charm landed her several television hosting positions for Gurreilla Productions LLC, FNTV, and TBT.

Personal Life
A self confessed anglophile and lover of androgyny, Chelsea Darling's relationship life and sexuality have remained elusive.

"For those of you who haven't yet heard, Chelsea Darling is a rising net celeb notorious for her daring shoots and promotions. When Crash Cult Reviews hired me to shoot her editorial, I wasn't sure what to expect. Here was a long and slender, upbeat yankee with a talent for modeling I've not yet matched. She was more than happy to try out my often eccentric ideas and the camera loves her. In a normal shoot I can expect to take about 400 shots on average, and end up using 10-12 in the final product. Chelsea on the other hand has a 85% shot accuracy rate and selecting between them was damn near impossible. Her talents are limitless and she can clearly master anything thrown at her. The fashion world better hold on to their seats." - Doug Roth
