My doll of the week is none other than the delightful Dottie Champagne! This little darling is a newbie Burlesquer with a seriously glamourous vintage appeal. Decked out in a family heirloom and a little bit of faux-fur, Dottie is ready for glass of champagne!

I’m back from a refreshing break with a new energy and some tricks up my sleeve!
I am so excited to share the photos from my latest photoshoot with you! As always, I drew a lot of my inspiration from Russ Meyer and so, since I’ve already done The Valley of the Dolls, this new set is called Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
These gorgeous burlesque beauties were the perfect models for this 60s nostalgic theme and it was an absolutely pleasure capturing Bianca Boom Boom, Sevvy Skellington, Betty Quirk, Dottie Champagne and Ivory in this pink dream set.
Please enjoy the first instalment of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls…

It’s been a long time coming but I have finally done a massive overall to my personal website www.missdollymonroe.com!
Check it out and let me know what you think!
I am so happy to share these 60s Go-Go inspired photos with you! This is the final set I shot with the incredible Photolena and is definitely my favourite.
Enjoy!
2016 was a really hard year for everyone. It certainly wasn’t a year I will look back on fondly for many reasons. However, as I sifted through the photos for this post, there were many moments of laughter and fun sprinkled throughout. I always like to look on the bright side and so despite everything we’ve been through, here are some happy memories and pictures from 2016.
This year I traveled to New York, Montreal and Mexico! I had a wonderful time modelling for Raezor Latex and participating with them in Montreal Fetish Weekend. I performed in four spectacular Peepshow TO productions, three of which involved choreographing brand new group/duet routines with some of the most amazing Nerdlesque performers I know. I met my personal fashion inspiration Dita Von Teese! I got three new tattoos, including one that I got with my mom of the two of us as matryoshka dolls. I further developed my portfolio as a model and as a photographer. I made three wedding dresses and got to see two of my best friends marry each other!
I guess this year wasn’t so bad after all. Here’s to an even better 2017! Happy New Year!
The gorgeous St Stella is back this week for another frisky photoset!
This bubbly, bendy, burlesque babe will be performing all over the city this holiday season. You can catch Stella on December 10th at the Painted Lady for the Decadence Holiday show, on December 16th at Swan Dive for her Birthday FUNraiser and on New Years eve you’ll be sure to see her can-caning around the Moulin Rouge (aka the Gladstone Hotel). There are so many opportunities to see this gal live in action, but for today here are some still shots to give you a tease.
I am SO EXCITED to be joining my PeepshowTO Family for our next production: Jinkies! A Hanna Barbera Burlesque Tribute.
On Saturday November 12th at the Great Hall in Toronto you can see some of the finest Nerdlesque entertainment our city as to offer. From the classic Hanna Barbera cartoons like The Flintstones, The Jetsons and Scooby-do to the 90s nostalgia shows like Dexter’s Laboratory and the Power Puff Girls, we are representing all your favourite characters!

Happy Halloween!
This year I decided to pay tribute to legendary Horror Babe Vampira! Tyrone Islington and I took a little trip to the cemetery to take some spooky photos of the costume I made. I had some help with the incredible claws from my friend Vall.

Henrietta VIII is the most powerful crime lord in the galaxy and Betty Quirk is exactly her kind of scum. Being dangerous space criminals has never looked so good! These ladies are ready to showcase the perfect balance of flawless pinup style and a total lack of morals.
Betty Quirk may have no love for the empire – but she loves to pose in her finest Mandalorian armour exactly “as you wish”. Ho ho ho… Be careful to stay on Henrietta’s good side because this Hutt does not take kindly to disappointments. When not posing for the camera she enjoys decorating her home with people who have betrayed her, frozen in carbonite. Don’t worry though – both of these sci-fi femme fatales agree that you’re no good to them dead!

Earlier this year I had the absolute pleasure of designing and creating a wedding dress for the sweetest gal I know, Chow Mein of The Harlettes. A vintage beauty with a twist, Chow’s gown was actually a romper and skirt combo allowing her all the elegance of a gown with the functionality of shorts! In a beautiful, creamy off-white the ensemble was decorated with hundreds of appliquéd flowers, beads and crystals and the look was topped off with a simple flower crown. I was so thrilled to have been able to contribute to the happy couple’s special day! Please enjoy some photos from the occasion of the radiant Chow and Mr. Mein!
