Alice's Adventures in Burlesqueland

I got an itch to shoot some "promotional photos" for my upcoming performance for Brunchlesque After Dark. I'll be performing my Alice act -- which I haven't done since Nerdlesque back in January. This act is a bit different from my normal classic style of Burlesque.

For my Alice act I pop & lock to a mix version of Gwen Stefani's "What You Waiting For?" My costume is weakly inspired by Gwen's own Alice phase, which I would like to continue to modify and create a better permanent costume from. This act was originally just a one off. However, people seemed to like it so I might add it to my full rotation.

As far as the photos go, I was just playing around on photoshop, so they are not the most magical images, but they are something fun -- to me anyway.

I hope you enjoy. Cheers!!

A few months ago my best friend came to visit Vegas so we did a fun little shoot. In my cramped apartment she set up a backdrop and lights and then snapped some pics.

Enjoy the photos!!

Merry Christmas!!

Ahhhh... 3 months since my last shoot and my last post -- not too bad.

Merry Christmas everyone!

A couple of weeks ago I met up with local photographer, Darrell Craig Harris and did a very short, not sure what we would, do shoot. I knew I wanted to do something simple and for Christmas, so we snapped a few pics and here is the outcome.
