Career

In early 1994, when McKenzie was 15, she sent sample glamour photographs to local modelling agencies. She began her modelling career by glamour modelling and swimsuit work, intending to progress to topless modelling when she turned 16 later that year. At the time, under the Protection of Children Act of 1978, 16-year-olds could still legally model topless in England and Wales; the legal minimum age was raised to 18 by the Sexual Offences Act of 2003.
