[edit] Early career
When she was 18, she won Miss Teen San Diego County and initially pursued a career in acting and modelling.[1] She trained at cosmetology school, first working for Make-up Art Cosmetics and then working freelance on photoshoots.[2] It was on one of these shoots, in 2002, that Dexter was photographed herself. She entered the photographs in the Viva Las Vegas pin-up contest and got such good feedback that she decided to concentrate on being a pin-up model.[3]
[edit] Recent
In an article on 7 March 2008, German tabloid Bild dubbed Dexter "the queen of pin-ups" ("die Königin des Pin-ups") and compared her to Dita Von Teese.[4] This came about from her work with the online, German-based webshop Ars Vivendi.[5]
In March 2011 Bernie Dexter was announced as the face of True Corset.[6]
Dexter has been the subject of paintings by Olivia De Berardinis. The two first met at Comic-Con.[7]
