Bianca Boom Boom and Ivory in Furs

Bianca Boom Boom and Ivory are a couple of knockouts in this week’s sultry photoset.  Draped only in luxurious faux-fur these babes aren’t afraid to show a little flesh. You can see both these burlesque beauties on May 7th at Revival for Fantastic Breasts and Where to Find Them: Wizarding Burlesque.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

I’m back from a refreshing break with a new energy and some tricks up my sleeve!

I am so excited to share the photos from my latest photoshoot with you!  As always, I drew a lot of my inspiration from Russ Meyer and so, since I’ve already done The Valley of the Dolls, this new set is called Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

These gorgeous burlesque beauties were the perfect models for this 60s nostalgic theme and it was an absolutely pleasure capturing Bianca Boom Boom, Sevvy Skellington, Betty Quirk, Dottie Champagne and Ivory in this pink dream set.

Please enjoy the first instalment of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls…

Lorelei the Burlesque Babe

First up from my new series Glamour Girls is the fierce and frisky Lorelei!

This Burlesque Babe has a real Tura Satana vibe with her raven hair, winged eyeliner and the way she combines strength and seductiveness.  You can see Lorelei embracing her inner Russ Meyer girl on July 28th at The Royal Cinema for the Ladies of Burlesque’s screening of Faster Pussycat Kill Kill featuring Lorelei as the burlesque entertainment for the evening.

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…

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!

Ab Horrence’s Burlesque Birthday Bash!

My amazing Boylesque friend Ab Horrence was thrown a surprise birthday party/burlesque show this past weekend by his amazing girlfriend.  There were so many fun acts and myself and my design partner Betty Quirk debuted a new act we’ve been working on.  Decked out in fringe covered outfits we shimmied and shook to the theme song to the film Faster Pussycat Kill Kill followed by the Cramps song “All Women are Bad”.  The party was a huge success and I think Ab Horrence had an unforgettable birthday!
