The Golden Legs of Burlesque; Genie Emerald shines in a brand new Dolly Shots photoset!
I am thrilled to share this week’s photoset, as it is the first in a wonderful series starring one of my favourite Burlesque Beauties, the glamourous Genie Emerald! Genie is looking like old Hollywood royalty in our first photoset as she dons a brand new custom costume created by Sweet Carousel Corsetry. Enjoy!
2018 has been a transitional year. It has been the uncomfortable growing stage in between leaving a past self behind and becoming a new creature. It has been hard and it has been a journey but ultimately it has been worth it.
The biggest change in my life this year was leaving my soul-sucking, 9-5 office job for a more creative career path. I have had some of my best photoshoots, both in front of and behind the camera and worked with a whole plethora of new and wonderful people! I made a fabulous new costume for one of my favourite performers, Laura Desiree. I celebrated the marriage of two of my dearest friends. I got a new, badass tattoo of my idol Tura Satana from my girl Suspiria! And to top off the whole year I move back into my apartment after nearly a year of extensive renovations!
I am now in the process of setting up Dolly Shots Studio for 2019 and I am so excited to share it with you! Stay tuned next year for lots more fabulous-ity and beauty!
Happy New Year!!
