My recent mini interview with CBC about the Girlesque Expo I did featuring burlesque legend Tempest Storm!
www.cbc.ca/player/News/Arts+an…

I am a burlesque dancer/model/makeup artist/designer based out of Halifax Nova Scotia. The founder & producer of Pink Velvet Burlesque (circa 2006), I was inducted into the Canadian Burlesque Hall of Fame 2011-2012 (greatcanadianburlesque.com/mis…) and have been performing & modelling since 2004. I absolutely adore what I do and get excited meeting other passionate people to work with on creative projects!

My photography interests include:
retro (1940's-1960's), pinup, fetish, horror & gore, quirky playful shoots with lots of color, artistic nudes, and glamour.

I love meeting new people, travelling, and having new experiences. I am professional through and take my work very seriously; I am punctual, polite, and easy to get along with. I'm able to take as well as give direction and add new ideas to a shoot. I am comfortable doing my own makeup and hair but am open to working with other artists to create specific looks. As a general rule I don't usually do nudes TFP/TFCD unless the work will add to my portfolio. My rates as both a model and a makeup artist are very reasonable so don't be afraid to message me!
