GLITTER GRILL

Rik Stavale got some great shots from last week's shows, Jenny Woo's Glitter Grill!

The IttyBittyTease Cabaret goes indians; Running Bear.

Fiona played records, as usual. And that girl can choose her records well I tell you.

Bent Van Der Bleu. You can see him tonight at DTM both as Lola Vanilla and as Bent.

(Like mentioned before we'll be there too - Tinker Bell and I are doing a couple of numbers. The venue is part of Regnbågshelgen 2010; a LGBT weekend for Swedish speaking Finns. But of course you don't need to be Swedish speaking or gay to come, it's open for everyone :)

Bettie Blackheart's Russian Rose.

Jackie O'Lanterns Volcano. I bet it would be an even more popular number this week right? (Not perhaps if you, like Jackie, had a flight booked though...)

Lola is not your everyday kind of 'chick'; "There's something Wrong With Lola" as Screamin' Jay Hawkins (almost) sings it.

And that's me doing the "knee-number", partly to this song, but it starts out slower as something of a parody on fancy and "look-at-me-I'm-so-hot "burlesque.

Btw every now and then I you ask me questions about how I started with burlesque, short version among the answers here.

ONE THOUSAND AND MORE

The Freelancer's Fashion Blog has over one thousand followers trough blogger and some hundreds at other places. I think that's pretty amazing! And it makes me all honoured and humble.

See, very humble and full of appreciation.

You know I always visit each and every blog of yours through the comments you leave me, even though I may not always comment back. Thats if I don't have anything smart to say. And as said before, I have a terrible lot of things to do, so sometimes it may take me shamelessly long to answer an email of yours. But eventually it will happen :)

Now I'm off for a wedding elsewhere, but keep you eyes open in the near future since there will be more giveaways and treats coming up...

But until then, have a lovely weekend everybody!

A.F. Vandevorst Archive Shoot for LURVE Magazine

One of the most exciting projects that I worked on with LURVE was a shoot featuring the designers A.F. Vandevorst, after their spectacular SS10 collection. Cameron (stylist) and I thought it would be interesting to explore the label's archives for the shoot in order to represent their 12 years of design that have led up to where they are now. Since the beginning, there have always been touches of strict tailoring mixed with slight fetishism - whether it be a leather trench coat held together by rivets, a necklace appearing to have bones and pearls strung together, or a powder blue silk dress with an attached nun's veil in place of a hood.

Knowing that the label was based in Antwerp, we were not sure that access to AF's archives was even feasible, but thanks to Corinna and Michael at Nouveau PR and the generous cooperation of the AF team, we were able to bring the concept to fruition. I couldn't be more thankful to everyone who was involved! The shoot can be seen in the current issue of LURVE Magazine which is out in stands right now.

LURVE MAGAZINE FEAT. YURI PLESKUN

Unbearable Lightness

One of the hardest things for me to do is keep exciting projects secret. This post is presenting one of the two shoots that I did for the current SS issue of LURVE Magazine. I shot it, my dearest Cameron styled, and awesome Yuri Pleskun modeled. Originally, our concept was to focus on color, a seasonal palette - but instead we painted white garments in greens, fuchsias and oranges through the usage of light alone.
