Something sweet from an older shoot that Was previously released only to the volcano tear.
I’m all about the costumes but there’s something beautiful about simplicity as well. Some of my favorite photos have been taken in a white room with nothing on. There’s a certain innocence to that. Not trying to be sexy or ...

I know I say it every time but I’m thoroughly excited for this video! I’ve been taking my time putting together this costume and routine. This costume started out life as my wedding dress. I never wore it for that purpose but it was filled with undesirable memories and icky energy so I cut it up and rec...

Still awaiting provenance on this beautiful costume set once worn/owned by Lorraine Smith who dressed as Jean Harlow in her stage act. I'm still trying to find her stage name. I understand that she lived in Massachusetts. Sadly she passed at a very young age. I know very few details about Lorraine but I am still searchin...

Today came with so many feels. I woke up with a black cloud. The air was heavy with anticipation. I knew that today was the very last opportunity to harness the new moon energy. Knowing that if I didn’t get started on my day early I would simply not get started. Off I went mask on, drove a block awY to my studio and looked ...

“As a physician who has focused on women's sexual health for decades, I've found that pelvic floor muscles routinely begin to weaken by age 40. Yet, while many women focus on their weight and exercise regularly, they often forget to exercise this incredibly important set of muscles! So what can we do to make sure...

I’m thinking t shirts? Any suggestions?
I absolutely love this artwork from Doris night. She is a burlesque performer and tattoo artist is currently completely out of work due to social distancing so she is making this incredible artwork to supplement her income. I love what she did! Should I put it on a T-shirt? Wha...

I’m very excited to have the opportunity to be in my studio again creating content for you. Jeremy and I powered through a very frustrating photo session and thought we had lost all of our content. It turns out, we were able to salvage the content and it looks great! Trust the process. I say it over and over and over again ...

For your viewing pleasure, I give to you this incredibly beautiful 1930s belly dancing, bedla costume that appears to be handmade in immaculate condition with no dry rot, No pinholes, no rips or tears. The fabric of this costume is strong because it was stored well, probably in a climate controlled space and it came to me wra...

As you can probably tell a huge portion of my collection recently has been dedicated to collecting vintage and new ostrich feather burlesque fans. Along the same vein, I’ve become very interested in small ostrich feather fans common in burlesque acts as well.
Originally I was only concerned with the...

Here are two beautiful representations of Lili St Cyr’s I’m not positive but I think I also have the round sequin pasties (at the $2.89 price point). The ones you’re seeing in front of you are the red and silver 2 toned swirl sequin pasties (that cost $3.50 in 1958) and the star sequin pasties (that cost $3.98 in 1958) ...
