Fierce Queer Burlesque Festival – Kickoff 2
I just had too many photos to keep them all in one post! Without further ado…
Juicey D. Lite had me from the moment she walked in with that tray of watermelon – I thought “oh she went there” and oh did she. By the end of the number I was thoroughly impressed by her creativity in expression of something just touchy!
Yeah, no bitch. LOVE IT!
Pulling off the eyelashes – such a small gesture with a big message… the best.
Cherry La Voix graced us with a song about the switch hitter swing – a catchy tune for sure
Butch Mystique (an incarnation of JJ Cox) and Ginger Jones were the headliner, and damn did they turn it out! So much expression and hotness – pardon me while I flood the post with all the fantastic photos I got. I simply couldn’t cut very many and MUST share!
Its impossible to pick a favorite, but this one is definitely up there… I love the gasp so hot!
That’s all folks! Two more nights of beauty, boobs, expression, boobs, burlesque, queerness, and boobs… coming up!
Fierce Queer Burlesque Festival – Kickoff
The Fierce Queer Burlesque festival was right here at home this year – next year it moves on to Wisconsin! I am so happy to have been the photographer for the past two years. This year was HUGE! I have so many great photographs I don’t know what to do with myself. It will definitely be a multiple post event – keep your eyes peeled for the coming photos from Friday and Saturday nights!
The festival had it’s kickoff at Bossy Grrl’s Pin Up Joint. The house was packed, the energy was excellent, and the entertainment was of course top notch!
Kaiser Colonic was as she always is – a fabulous emcee with a filthy mouth and dirty mind. She is the hostess with the mostest, the bees knees, and all of that. If she hosted every show I shoot I would be a happy girl!
Miss Ladymonster showed that fringe what it’s for and lit up the stage – she was just beautiful and glowing the entire act. Love her, love her numbers always!
My favorite part of this photo is the photographer’s expression
Such a naughty expression!
If I could remember what this is about I would tell you, but I don’t. I just love the expressions on Strip and Kaiser.
Moxie Rhodes of Peach Pies Caburlesque brought the 60s flare – I felt like I was in a swinging shindig baby yeah!
One of my favorite shots of the evening…
I broke a heel and I don’t give a damn!
Tha – Best.
Baby Bear and Madame Envy also of Peach Pies Caburlesque served a taste of the tropics in a big way
I sense an eruption coming…
I really love shooting performers in general, but I have a fondness for dancers because of shots like this…
Oh my!
Cherie Blondell and her classic beauty make this photo look straight out of old Hollywood
Here dahling hold my coat…
Cruel Valentine sings songs of seduction and charms us with her smile
I just love this one so much!
Someone told the stage kitten her boobs looked great, so I preserved the moment in time so all may enjoy the cleavage in internet foreverness
Tea Just Tea was just cute as a button… that smile on her face the whole act!
Naughty smirks!
Rasta Boi Punany was Strokin!
I don’t know what was shinier – Strip Pokeher‘s dress, personality, or song… but it all worked in to a really fun number!
Kristie LeVangie teased us with some moves and finished us with some words
Oh my this is my second favorite number of the night – and only second because I am biased about the first – it was to the song Conquest by The White Stripes…if you can imagine it as you look over the images – and was so awesome. Bravo Lou D. B’Havior!
Eileen Galvin just can’t take a bad photograph… she was working that stage go on girl! I love you!
I cant believe this one is a stage photo. Seriously!

Vanessa Deux
So Vanessa and I did a photo shoot a few years ago…. being the great girlfriend she is she has done some hot photos for her boyfriend not once but twice!
I have to say, the second time we knocked it out of the park. The first ones were great, don’t get me wrong, but we have grown comfortable with one another and it shows! I was so proud of her. Personally, I think the woman looks like a super model. I am seriously considering a couple of these for publication – and luckily she is down!
The graffiti in the background is by my dude Coreroc - his art keeps popping up behind my ladies! Probably because it rocks. He sells it too – go check him out!
You’ll be seeing a lot more of this lady, she and I have great things in the works.
JJ Cox brings us Butch Mystique
I have photographed JJ Cox many times over the years, but not once has it been in a one on one off stage setting until now. I am a huge fan of hers, some of my favorite drag performances have been hers… especially when she teams up with my good friend and lovely lady Ginger Jones!
She is exploring femininity in new was with Butch Mystique, and I was honored to be chosen to be the photographer to help her try and capture the essence of what she is trying to express. I will not pretend to know the complete ins and outs of what she is going for, but there is plenty of it here! To make a much deeper story short and easy – butch is still feminine.
I was so happy she came to me with this, as I get far to few butch girls in front of my lens. Let this be a reminder ladies – I am at your disposal whether you are a “skirt” or not! As made apparent here, a butch girl can put on the hot just as well as the most sultry of femmes
