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!

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
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!
Toronto Burlesque Festival Gold Diggers
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!
Goldilocks in Gloomth
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!
Beautiful Brittany
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!
Vintage Baby Doll
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!
In the Studio with Tyrone Islington
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!
Mademoiselle Dolly
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….
Forgotten Photos from Russ Meyer
Russ Meyer was not only known for his scandalous films featuring voluptuous vixens, he was also a popular photographer of the female form. His photos showcase the unique love he had for women. They are joyous, relaxed, playful and captivating, just like the women in the photographs. As an huge fan of pinup photography I find Meyer’s to be some of the most striking and creative work from that era. He has an obvious love for each model and does a wonderful job of showcasing all her finest features. Enjoy some of my favourite shots from Russ Meyer.
Dolly Monroe A-Go-Go
This Go-Go inspired photoset was shot by the lovely Tyrone Islington. I had a really fun time with this shoot, which took place in my apartment and features some of my favourite classic cult movie posters. This costume is from a duet burlesque act that I perform with Betty Quirk inspired by the Russ Meyer film Faster Pussycat Kill Kill so I was happy to shoot it in from of my poster for the film. Enjoy!
