Meet Tanya Dakin

Looking at model Tanya Dakin, you wouldn't think she was the kind of girl who had self-esteem issues, but that's exactly what drives her these days in her efforts to create sexy images to share on the web. According to her bio, Tanya suffers from trichotillomania, which is the compulsion to pull out one's own hair. That obviously made life quite difficult as a young adult, but as she got older she learned to control her disorder and now she channels her energy into photography and modeling, which she says is her "therapy." You can enjoy the results of these confidence-boosting sessions on her website, which features her in dozens of nude and fashion photographs, as well as her own seductive self-portraits. We wouldn't wish her brand of OCD on anyone, but we hope that getting over it doesn't mean that she'll ever stop working in front of the camera. That would just make things harder for all of us.
