I have been such a busy lady recently and have been focusing way more energy on photography than modelling. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to receive some new/old photos from shoot I did way back in 2o14. Michael Terry of DWS took these amazing photos of me in this David Bowie themed room. Enjoy!
2015 was a spectacular year for me! I went to New York City, Orlando, Montreal and Detroit. I performed in the Girlesque Expo, the Toronto Burlesque Festival and Pride Toronto. I got three new tattoos including a BFF tattoo with Betty Quirk. I watched one of my best friends get married. I launched Dolly Shots Photography. But most importantly I had a blast doing all these things with my fabulous friends.
The theme of this year for me was Girl Power! I continue to surround myself with the smartest, funniest and coolest group of gals who are constantly inspiring me. They are loving and supportive and always there to give advice, encouragement or share a cute cat photo! I feel so lucky and blessed to have these women in my life.
I have big plans ahead for next year! Stay tuned for more fabulousness in 2016!

On September 25th at the Great Hall in Toronto myself and my lovely burlesque buddies debuted a new act for the Super Smash Bra Nerdlesque show! Peepshow TO put on this fun Nintendo themed show with acts featuring your favourite Nintendo characters. Our group chose to represent Pokemon with an act inspired by Eevee and her evolutions Flareon and Vaporeon. In this act Flareon (Delicia Pastiche) and Vaporeon (Henrietta VIII) are fighting over what type of Pokemon Eevee (myself) should evolve into. After showing me the basics of pokemon stripping I decide not to choose either and instead become a Jolteon!

I had a wonderful time shooting with my friend Geoff Larkin this week in High Park. The water garden was the perfect setting for this seductive set. The sheer kimono top was made by me, the bra is from Victoria’s Secret. Enjoy!
I had the pleasure of performing at Kitty Night’s Midsummer Night’s Dream show on August 15th. It was a wonderful evening of dreamy burlesque. I performed my Sugar Baby routine in a sugary, sparkly, pale pink robe which I made. My head was adorned with a lovely bird fascinator from Featherband. Please enjoy some photos from the evening and one from my friend Lick My Lens Cap photography, of me in this outfit!
Myself and my partner in crime, Betty Quirk, will be performing our Two Little Gold Diggers routine this Saturday evening at the Toronto Burlesque Festival! We are part of the Glam-A-Ganza show and will definitely bring the Glam in our Gentlemen Prefer Blondes tribute act. We don’t get to perform this act too often so you won’t want to miss a chance to see it! Please enjoy these photos are from the amazing photographer Elizabeth Horodnyk!
I had another fabulous collaboration recently with the lolita clothing line Gloomth! This time I was modelling the Waterlily dress and took the lovely teddy on a little park adventure. Enjoy these photos from Tyrone Islington Photography and Gloomth!
I am thrilled to finally be able to share with you this set of photos from my collaboration with Elizabeth Horodnyk. This set was inspired by my favourite character on my favourite tv show, Joan Harris from Mad Men. Joan is a strong, independent, bad ass woman who does it all while looking fabulous and elegant. On top of all that Joan has curves for days, making her the perfect subject for me to cosplay. The dress was made by me and the necklace is a replica of the signature necklace Joan wears on the show. Please enjoy my little tribute to Mad Men and Joan Harris!
I am so excited to share another lovely set of photos from Tyrone Islington! We were going for a very 60s babydoll look with the styling and wardrobe for this shoot. This is one of my favourite outfits, which I have featured on here before, but I just can’t get enough photos of it. I designed and created this little pink playsuit with fabric I got at Mood in NYC. Please enjoy this sweet little set of pictures from Dolly and Tyrone!
Recently I have had the pleasure of working with Tyrone Islington on a few different projects. His photography is dynamic, dramatic and emotionally charged. I love his style and have enjoyed modelling for him. For our most recent collaboration we played with light and shadow and created some of our best work to date. Please enjoy a selection of images from this shoot, with more to come!
