The whole handle came about when Dave stumbled across a message board which was about escorts called "Lyla's List". The board has since changed considerably and Lyla has placed the site in another's hands. For the sake of registering, Dave was doing some design work and Dave was too popular a name to have anyone differentiate, so the handle was created and has kept with me ever since. It's not likely a unique handle on the internet. First started posting there in about June 1998.

Dave's first attempt in learning web design came from studying code from adult sitesand reading some of the limited information on HTML and already having years of experience with Photoshop, He tried his hand at creating some pages and then eventually built his first site on Tripod called "Bowtie's XXX Lounge" which was essentially a little portal of galleries that led to amateur model sites. We all know these sites now as TGP's or Thumbnail Gallery Posts.

The first photo shoot he ever did was for a company called "Allison's Adoring Angels", which was purely by accident. The company booked a large room arranged to have everyone come to the space for photos and were left without a photographer. Dave was brought to the shoot to direct things to make sure that what I needed for the profiles and site were captured and ended up being handed a camera and asked to do the photos. From there he went on to do other shoots and was contacted by various people who saw and like the work and began offering it as part of his services. Until then, he didn't have any previous training in the field other than a film and media course in High School.
