Dolly’s Bettie Page Striptease: Part 1
Over the next few weeks I will be sharing my “Ode to Bettie Page” striptease pinup set!
Bettie Page is a huge modelling inspiration to me. She was the queen of posing and had the perfect face to match each look. From fun and peppy, to sassy and seductive, Bettie’s range was astounding and diverse. I hope I have done her justice in portraying the different moods and looks of Bettie. Please enjoy the next few weeks of Bettie inspired photos!
Just as many of Bettie’s outfits were created by her, my outfit was designed and created by myself, from my outer layers to my under layers. Photos by If You Fall Photography.
Photo Set from Dana Brushette
I received a few of the photos from my shoot with Dana Brushette and Tess Munster that I wanted to share with you! I’m so happy about how these turned out and I feel so lucky to have gotten the chance to work with these fantastic ladies! I made this outfit for a burlesque act but thought it would be a fun outfit to shoot with Dana in. I love the way she has captured the look and really made this set something special.
Sinful Sunday
My fabulous go-go partner Betty Quirk and I will be shimmy shaking it this coming Sunday (May 11th) at Cherry Cola’s! Come watch some quality burlesque this Mother’s Day and even bring your mom!
Peepshow Clipshow!
I am so excited to be part of the Peepshow Clipshow this coming Saturday May 3rd at the Drake Underground in Toronto! For those who don’t know, PeepshowTO is one of the best Nerdlesque troupes and regularly puts on sold-out shows with themes like Marvelesque, Tarantino Tease and Apocalust. The Peepshow Clipshow is going to be a compilation of some of the best acts from past shows. I will be performing as Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones. You won’t want to miss this event, seriously, I highly recommend getting tickets in advance because it’s very likely that this show will sell out!

Burlesque Photos with Haley Friesen
A few months ago myself and a bunch of my burlesque pals (Betty Quirk, Sevvy Skellington, Meryle Trouble and Dante Him) had a burlesque themed photoshoot with Haley Frisen for her thesis project and here are some of the results! Check out the rest of her amazing portfolio at www.haleyfriesenphotography.com
Peeler’s Playhouse!
Looking for a good time on May 1st? Come check out Dolly Berlin’s Peeler’s Playhouse! This show is going to be a good old fashion raunch-fest with lots of bumpin’, grindin’ and go-go gals going wild! Myself and Betty Quirk will be bringing back our legendary Russ Meyer themed Cat Fight routine for this evening and you won’t want to miss it!

Diva Divine
Happy Tuesday! I thought I would post something a little different for my photoset this week. This robe was originally a costume piece I made for a stage show I used to be involved. I love the sheer almost giraffe-like pattern of this fabric. It is the perfect sexy peekaboo print! The feather trim on the sleeves gives a fun and dramatic flare to the robe. Simply divine!

Batwoman!
A few weeks ago I was so lucky to perform in the Nerdlesque Festival in New York city as the vibrant superhero Batwoman. Not Batgirl… Batwoman. I also performed this act at Peepshow TO’s Nude 52 show last October. I thought I would share some of the photos from these events of the epic costume I put together for this act. This is another example of Burlesque Cosplay, where slight modifications are made to help with the removal of each item. Instead of having one full bodysuit I decided to cut out the thighs and put in garters. I also made the boots into bootcovers that are removed like stockings with a simple nude dance shoe underneath. The most fantastic part of this costume though is the cape! This thing is a monster that stretches past my reach and has dowels sewn in to help me hold it up. But my absolute favourite part of the costume in my amazing mask which is leather and was made for me by the brilliant leatherworker and costume designer Adam Smith! I love the way this costume turned out and I have found each time I wear it that there are a lot of Batwoman fans out there that appreciate the outcome of my effort and love seeing this fierce, Jewish, lesbian badass hero come to life!
