Valley of the Dolls

2015 has been a year of new ventures and creative exploration for me.  Launching Dolly Shots has been such a wonderful way for me to explore portrait photography and share my passion with the help of my beautiful friends who have modeled for me.  While I know that I still have so much to learn I am happy with the images I have been able to put out so far.  Happier still to see how much joy it brings my models when they receive their finished photos!

Recently I decided to take my creative vision to the next level and organize a photoshoot with a specific theme that has always captivated me.  I gathered some gorgeous gals who also wanted to explore this theme and over the next few months you will see the fruits of this labour.

Bringing together a 1960s aesthetic, Russ Meyer influence and playful whimsy with a splash of vodka, I would like to present my Valley of the Dolly Shots Gals.  Stay tuned in 2016 for more photos of these buxom bombshells…

Eevee Burlesque at Super Smash Bras

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!

Please enjoy some fun photos from this act by Ruth Gillson, Chris Hutcheson and Lick My Lens Cap Photography!

Witchy Woman

It’s almost Halloween and it’s going to be a double whammy week, with 2 themed photosets!

My gorgeous friend Sam and I collaborated on another fantastic dress for her collection.  This spider web print was the perfect fabric for her halloween look.  We took a little trip to the cemetery to take some spooky shots!

Sunset in High Park

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!

Betty Quirk

Today’s model is a truly unique beauty, the purple princess, Betty Quirk!  Not only does Betty have a killer, colourful look, this Nerdlesque performer and producer has a style all her own when it comes to Burlesque.  She is the co-producer of Peepshow TO, in which she has brought together comedy, pop culture and striptease in a series of spectacularly successful shows.  And after a short hiatus Peepshow TO is back in action with their latest show Super Smash Bras: A Nintendo Inspired Burlesque.  You won’t want to miss this incredibly talented lady and her gaggle of hotties (myself included) for this outstanding event!

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!
