Late Night Toon Tease

missdollymonroeLeave a comment

I had a blast this past saturday at the Peepshow TO Late Night Toon Tease Nerdlesque show!!  Performers stripped as their favourite adult cartoon characters such as Leela from Futurama, Jane Lane from Daria, Gimpy from Undergrads, Molotov Cocktease from Venture Brothers and so many more.  The show was amazing, with so many creative costumes, acts and song choices.  The stage, which was set with old school televisions, created such a lovely atmosphere to witness these cartoon characters coming to life.  Congrats to Peepshow TO on another wonderful show!

Inspiration: Dirty Martini

missdollymonroe2 Comments

When it comes to curvy burlesque beauties Dirty Martini takes the cake!  

Based in NYC, this burlesque performer/pinup model/dance instructor’s style of performance is a combination of classic glamour and raunchy humour.  She holds the title of The Reigning Queen of Burlesque – Miss Exotic World 2004, first runner up to Miss Exotic World in 2003 and best fan dance at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in 2002.  She was featured in the John Cameron Mitchell film “Shortbus” and the Scissor Sister’s video for the song “FIlthy/Gorgeous”.  Dirty Martini is truly a wonderful representation of the curvy girl body-type in burlesque.  She has curves for days and proudly shows her figure in the most glamourous burlesque costumes and routines.  Dirty Martini is such an inspiration to me as a big girl in burlesque and she really proves it that beauty has no size!

Photo Set from Dana Brushette

I received a few of the photos from my shoot with Dana Brushette and Tess Munster that I wanted to share with you!  I’m so happy about how these turned out and I feel so lucky to have gotten the chance to work with these fantastic ladies!  I made this outfit for a burlesque act but thought it would be a fun outfit to shoot with Dana in.  I love the way she has captured the look and really made this set something special.

A Perfect 14

missdollymonroeLeave a comment

A wonderful new documentary is coming out about plus size models and our current beauty standards called A Perfect 14.  As a plus size woman I am so thrilled to see a new standard of beauty emerging in our culture.  It’s about time we stop putting a size on beauty and start respecting and celebrating the diversity of the female form.

 I wanted to share this photo set with you today because this is my Eff Your Beauty Standards moment.  At 210 lbs I could not be more happy with my body or the way I look.  Beauty has no size. I am proud of my body and I would rather spend every day loving and embracing myself than being frustrated that I don’t fit into the tiny box society has labeled “ideal”.  Who cares how much you weigh?  Who cares if your thighs rub together or your arms jiggle?  Why should that prevent you from feeling fabulous?  Don’t let anyone else’s beauty standards dictate your self worth.  Be yourself, love yourself and embrace who you are.

xoxo Dolly

I am so excited to be part of the Peepshow Clipshow this coming Saturday May 3rd at the Drake Underground in Toronto!  For those who don’t know, PeepshowTO is one of the best Nerdlesque troupes and regularly puts on sold-out shows with themes like Marvelesque, Tarantino Tease and Apocalust.  The Peepshow Clipshow is going to be a compilation of some of the best acts from past shows.  I will be performing as Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones. You won’t want to miss this event, seriously, I highly recommend getting tickets in advance because it’s very likely that this show will sell out!
