Hallowe'en!

Here's a few photos from Hallowe'en. I performed in Chester for Burlesque photographer, and event producer Neil Kendall. The event was absolutely brilliant, with sideshow, burlesque and magic! There was even a horror photobooth! 

I did a 1920s photoshoot with Neil, so I'll post the results very soon.

Photos are taken by Ina Glo, and Neil Kendall.

Champagne Circus - Helsinki. Atelieri O. Haapala photos!

At the Champagne Circus two phenomenal Finnish photographers; Saara Salmi and Marco Melander aka Atelieri O. Haapala, set up a beautiful vintage circus themed photobooth for audience members and artists to have their portraits snapped in the style of classic (circus) cabinet portraiture!

Atelieri O. Haapala work many public events in Helsinki, and they also do numerous private photoshoots too, here's their website: http://www.ohaapala.com/

Here's some after show shots of myself and the Champagne Circus cast and crew, it was such a relief to stop producing/performing and have a drink and a chat with audience members and friends!

I have put all of the live shots from The Champagne Circus, and the audience portraits on the Champagne Circus Blog; www.champagnecircus.blogspot.com

El Mundo Paper, Spain.

A photo of me was used in Spanish Newspaper El Mundo's coverage of a new Burlesque club night opening in Madrid. The club is Barcelona's premier Burlesque and Cabaret night, Taboo! 

Champagne Circus, Helsinki

On October 8th this year, I produced an International Cabaret event in Helsinki Finland, in one of Helsinki's most opulent venues: Vanha Ylioppilastalo.
The show was excellent, with amazing performances from some of the world's most notorious cabaret superstars - generating fantastic reviews! You can read more about The Champagne Circus on it's own blog; www.champagnecircus.blogspot.com

Finnish photographer Jari B Miettinen  took these fabulous photos of my performance from the evening:

Barcelona Tattoo Convention.

At the beginning of October I was flown to Barcelona for five nights to headline at the International Barcelona Tattoo Expo. The weather was absolutely divine; and I met so many wonderful people!

Here's a few photos from Barcelona, and my current fire show. Taken by Joan Martinez. (In no particular order, because I'm a lazy uploader...)

Ambrosius Smets Accessories - Ghent, Belgium.

Whilst I was in Ghent during July for the Hotel Jarretelle I met a charming accessories designer named Ambrosius Smets.

Not only did Ambrosius and I dance the night(s) away drinking champagne and being raucous, we also became firm friends. I did a photoshoot for Ambrosius' upcoming accessories range featuring his handmade handbags, brooches, and jewellery.  

I absolutely am in awe of the results. Here they are:

Bizzare Magazine - Ella Guru

A few years ago I was painted by an extremely talented artist called Ella Guru. She painted me in two portraits, one a homage to Caravaggio, and the other a portrait of me in full burlesque attire. 
Ella is featured in this month's Bizarre Magazine - a double spread dedicated to her! 


The portrait she painted of me, is a featured piece in the article. 


Ella has a solo exhibition in the London underground art's venue; The Resistance Gallery on September 8th 2011! (That's next week, folks!) 
I'll post photos of the exhibition soon.

Anna Swiczeniuk

I've done another photoshoot with London based photographer, Anna Swiczeniuk.
I absolutely love the carney/circus vibe, I felt so at home!

Anna does a lot of work for Brick Lane based lingerie company 'Playful Promises' I was modelling their new collection in the photos posted below.
