2017 was a very strange year. There were lots of fun, happy memories but also a lot of very trying moments.
This year I travelled quite a lot to Montreal and New York City and also added Freeport, Bahamas to my travel list. I performed once again as part of the Toronto Burlesque Festival, at Toronto Pride, at Yeti Con, for the Ladies of Burlesque at the Royal, and in all 3 of the Peepshow TO productions. I had the pleasure of seeing the musical Hamilton twice in New York City. I went to Drag Con NY, the Bagel Burlesque Expo, Yeti Con and Fan Expo. I got a new tattoo from Genevieve FT. And I got to see two of my favourite people get married in a Jewish/Indian/Lord of the Rings wedding!
All in all this year has really taught me who the important people are in my life and to cherish those relationships. I’ve worked really hard this year to accomplish my goals but I know this is only the beginning. Look out 2018, I’m coming for you!!

It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means… more amazing pics from my photoshoot with the fabulous Photolena.
This week I’m channeling one of my idols, Nancy Sinatra, in her look from the Bang Bang music video. I made this fringe dress specifically for this shoot and am so happy with how it turned out.
It’s been a melancholy month for me. Despite all the lovely art I’ve been producing there is a lingering sadness that I just can’t shake. Here’s to a better, brighter future!
It’s part 2 of Kitty Kitty Meow today and you are definitely going to want to MEOW…
The fabulous Photolena makes me look fantastic! I had such a fun time working with her and am just blown away by all the wonderful images she has created.
I have another puuuurfect photoset this week from my recent shoot with Photolena! Part one of my Kitty Kitty Meow set featuring this fabulous headpiece from the fantastic Leelando Calrissian and my self-made Barbie Girl lingerie.
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!
I am so happy to share these 60s Go-Go inspired photos with you! This is the final set I shot with the incredible Photolena and is definitely my favourite.
Enjoy!
I’m so happy to share another lovely photoset from my shoot with Photolena! This look was inspired by the classic pinups of the 1950s. In a sparkly blue dress made by me and a white faux-fur from my amazing friend Leelando, I am taking some important calls.
