I’m so proud to share this set of photos of my fabulously fashionable friend Sam, for whom I am the personal dress designer. I love collaborating with Sam and adding to her fun, whimsical dress collection. For this ensemble we found the perfect co-ordinating fabrics of both image and text dinosaurs. Sam has a love of dinosaurs and this colourful, cute dress was the perfect addition to her wardrobe. Please enjoy these photos of Sam in her dino dress!
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!
Burlesque babe and hula-hooper extraordinaire Rubie Magnitude is the model of the week! Donning a gorgeous red lingerie set from Secrets From Your Sister, the lovely Rubie looks sensual and sweet. Rubie was a smash hit this past weekend at the Toronto Burlesque Festival, where she debuted a new act in which she multi-tasked hula hooping and feather fan dancing! I am thrilled to welcome Rubie to the Dolly Shots portfolio with her first set of portraits. Enjoy!

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 first met Brittany in the summer of 2012. I had just gotten out of a long term relationship in which I had become increasingly isolated from my friends. Post-breakup I was feeling very lonely and while I had begun to rebuild past friendships I could also feel an empty void that needed to be filled with something new. I remember vividly meeting Brittany for the first time. She was the perfect picture of cool; bleach blonde hair in dreadlocks, lip ring, covered in tattoos and sporting a baby blue repro-vintage style dress printed with cartoon pinup girls. It was a dress I knew well, as I had been coveting and searching for this exact garment for months to no avail. There was Brittany wearing the dress of my dreams, the friend I had been looking for. As we got to know each other we discovered we had more in common than just fashion. Brittany is sharp as a whip, with a love of history and a Masters Degree under her belt. She is a kind and compassionate friend with an unending love of animals, reading and baking. Brittany is the kind of person who will always ask the questions that others dare not broach because she genuinely wants to know about you on a deeper level. I feel so lucky to call Brittany my friend and happy to be able to share these photos of her with you. As you can see Brittany is a beautiful lady, but I know that she is even more beautiful on the inside!
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!
This week’s photoset stars the captivating Leelando Calrissian shot by none other than myself! Crossplayer extraordinaire Leelando gives us his take on Bettie Page as the Rocketeer. With costume completely created by Leelando himself this pretty pinup embodies the classic comic creation with a gender-bending twist. Enjoy!
The photoset I am sharing with you today will hopefully be the first edition in a series that I shot with DWS Photography. I had a wonderful time working on this beautiful set. The lingerie featured was created by me with exception of the beautiful Victorian style corset from Louise Black. This underbust corset is one of my favourite pieces and I am glad to have these wonderful photos to show it off. Enjoy this small set and hopefully there will be more to come….
