2017 was a very strange year. There were lots of fun, happy memories but also a lot of very trying moments.
This year I travelled quite a lot to Montreal and New York City and also added Freeport, Bahamas to my travel list. I performed once again as part of the Toronto Burlesque Festival, at Toronto Pride, at Yeti Con, for the Ladies of Burlesque at the Royal, and in all 3 of the Peepshow TO productions. I had the pleasure of seeing the musical Hamilton twice in New York City. I went to Drag Con NY, the Bagel Burlesque Expo, Yeti Con and Fan Expo. I got a new tattoo from Genevieve FT. And I got to see two of my favourite people get married in a Jewish/Indian/Lord of the Rings wedding!
All in all this year has really taught me who the important people are in my life and to cherish those relationships. I’ve worked really hard this year to accomplish my goals but I know this is only the beginning. Look out 2018, I’m coming for you!!

It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means… more amazing pics from my photoshoot with the fabulous Photolena.
This week I’m channeling one of my idols, Nancy Sinatra, in her look from the Bang Bang music video. I made this fringe dress specifically for this shoot and am so happy with how it turned out.
This year for Halloween I decided to embody the pinnacle of extravagance and luxury; the Queen Bitch herself, Marie Antoinette. I made this fun little costume for a screening of Marie Antoinette I performed at recently with the Ladies of Burlesque at the Royal Cinema. Guild Park and Gardens in Toronto served as the perfect setting for this shoot. Enjoy!
As a refreshing change of pace for this week’s photoset I have a dashing young fellow to feature; Boylesque sensation Dr. Orifice!
This bendy, bodacious boy has been bringing his ridiculous sense of humour to stages across Toronto. Dr. Orifice recently debuted a Ned Flanders act at PeepshowTO‘s Simpsons parody show and will soon be bringing another new act to PeepshowTO’s next production. Comic Strip-Off: A Marvel vs DC Burlesque Parody takes place on October 6th at the Great Hall in Toronto.
It’s that time again, the next PeepshowTO production is this Friday, June 9th at the Great Hall in Toronto and if you are a fan of The Simpsons you are not going to want to miss this one!!
Back for another classic Simpsons Burlesque Tribute the amazing cast and crew of PeepshowTO are pulling out all the stops! We’ve got your favourite Simpsons characters, doughnuts from Glory Hole Doughnuts, prizes, and a few other tricks up our sleeves. I will be performing a brand new duet with the amazing Burlesque Drag King Henrietta VIII that you won’t want to miss. Tickets are almost completely sold out, so if you still haven’t gotten your GET THEM NOW!!!
I had another lovely photoshoot last week with Tyrone Islington in my Batwoman Burlesque Cosplay. This fantastic costume goes with a Nerdlesque act that I haven’t performed in quite a while, but will be reviving this summer for the Peepshow TO performance at Yeti Con! If you haven’t gotten your Yeti Con tickets yet, don’t miss out!
It’s a brand new year and I have a brand new Dolly Shots photoset to share!
If you are as big an Anime fan as these ladies you would know that they are cosplaying the characters Panty and Stocking from the series Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. With the lovely Veronica Vile embodying the slutty Panty and Natasha portraying the sweet Stocking, what is not to love with these two?
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!
