Marie Antoinette in the Garden

Happy Halloween!!

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!

Barbie Girl

This busy gal has been having a fun-filled, action-packed 2017!

I have really been enjoying flexing my creative muscles by being on the other side of the camera quite a bit this year.  In the spring I debuted my Beyond the Valley of the Dolls photo-series, followed by the Ladies of Nerd Girl Burlesque and I’m starting into fall with the Bondage Bombshells series.

 On the flip side, I have had a few really wonderful shoots of my own with some of Toronto’s finest photographers.  Today I thought I would start to release the images from what was possibly my favourite shoot of all time with the incredible Photolena!  This first set features my Vintage Barbie (with a twist) bathing suit, made by me for a burlesque act I debuted earlier this year.  I hope you enjoy!

Batwoman

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!

2016: A Slightly Less Fabulous Year

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!

Vampira

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.

Bridal Burlesque Beauty: Chow Mein

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!
