She modeled for hundreds of companies around the world -including such well-known brands as Harley-Davidson, Coffin Case, Pinup Girl Clothing, Murray & Vern latex and Bibian Blue -and was the spoke model for Pinup Girl Clothing. Sinical Magazine has said of her, "She has inspired a legion of alternative models to lace up a corset, pull on some stockings and slide into a pair of stilettos. Masuimi was a true 'master of disguise' and often made her own costumes and backgrounds, and was an accomplished fire performer and burlesque dancer. She was a true original in a sea full of copycats, and one of the few models that has made a career out of doing what she loves". Aside from modeling and performing, Masuimi operated an exclusive pay site for her fans, which offers a free guest area and a paid members-only area. There are over 60,000 images and videos, along with live video demos in which she connected with her fans by doing various tutorials that range from cooking to putting makeup on.

Masuimi's list of credits is so vast, with nearly 100 magazine covers and many more features, music videos, TV shows and movies, that it's almost impossible to select a few highlights."
