Throughout the 1990s, Minka’s iconic photo shoots were primarily produced in London, where photographer John Graham operated his studio. With the exception of her famous Boob Cruise layouts from 1997 and 1998, Minka regularly traveled from the United States to Great Britain for these sessions. This particular London pictorial was shot in 1997, during a time when Minka was also making waves as a bachelor party stripper and a feature dancer across various clubs, including Hawaii, where she was a huge fan favorite.
Minka had picked up some performance techniques from popular big-bust dancers like Lisa Lipps and Casey James, two stars of the feature circuit at the time. “On-stage, I would take tips between my boobs,” Minka shared. “A little thing I got from Lisa and Casey was that sometimes the guy would hold the money in his mouth, and I would take it from him by squeezing my boobs together. And I would always have eye contact with every man. They were horny! The hornier they were, the more money came out.”
Minka’s charm, combined with her bold presence, made her a standout performer both in photos and on stage, captivating audiences wherever she went.
