Ginger’s Mystery Box 2009
Event photographs of Ginger’s Mystery Box, an annual charity gender bending show organized by Ginger Jones. This year Ginger’s Mystery Box was at Score Bar.
Noka was so fierce!
JJ Cox was too!
The prize for eating the most vagina shaped chocolate…
It was kind of funny to watch this, Jinx was going for quality over quantity, and doing a great job at it!
Shenanigans!
Ginger Jones
Gavin before he left town for Denver saying goodbye in a blaze of glory!
I don’t know. But definitely shenanigans!
How awesome is this cake? Two of my favorite bar tenders on the right!
IDKEX – Viva!’s Red Light Girlie Lounge
Viva!’s Red Light Girlie Lounge at former East Village gave IDKEX attendees a femme break with a breathtaking lineup of burlesque performers. The most packed I ever saw East Village, I literally could barely move my shutter finger!
The one on the right is one of my all time favorites. The image is not altered this is how it was shot.
Fabulous merch!
Oh I love this one! I know natural armpits are not everyone’s cup of tea, usually they aren’t mine either, but they make this photo. Without the hair, it would be ordinary.
Glitter
A Viva Valezz! production at Wall Street, this was a glamtastic burlesque and drag performance extravaganza! Glitter was definitely an appropriate name!
Bohemian Rhapsody! I loved it so much!
I am more of a brunette person, but Clams Casino was one hot blond!
Ginger Jones is always red hot. I really love the one on the left!
I have no idea but I loved it!
Killer Queen!
Noka in one of the most daring reveals ever performed. Look at that tuck! WORK!
Brett Morehead gets the codpiece of the year award!
Spoken word that was smoldering. I believe it was called “Do You Want To Touch?” and she did it perfectly! Get down curvy girl! Work it!
Oh my gosh the Bronutz! This performance was fantastic, I nearly fell out of my chair! They performed to Love Gun
Wardrobe malfunctions abound at Glitter – but those girls don’t miss a beat she just said “give it up!” and kept on going!
Bossy Grrl always takes the best photos. By the way she can sing!
The Ooh La La’s
Erotic N Roll
Erotic N’ Roll at Skully’s. I wasn’t there professionally, just took my camera along for the show. I went to watch the Viva! and the Velvet Hearts performance, of course… but mostly to see Only Flesh because they put on a fantastic show! If you’d like to hear some heavy music and see a stage show like none other you should go and check them out!
For those interested in techie type stuff…
I shot all of these photos at ISO 2500 and I truly have no idea why. I threw them on my drive and didn’t edit them for over two years, I forgot they even existed! I had just gotten the camera, maybe I wanted to see how far I could push the ISO for events and get away with it. They were shot with a Canon 50D with available light only. There was way too much smoke in the place for even fill flash, and there was also a video crew I did not want to hinder.
I actually like the grain!
I adore this photograph. I think it captures an expression of freedom in her face as if she’s the happiest sexy girl in pasties on the planet!
I have to share this… because it makes me smile. That would be my tattoo. I’ve had it for 13 years now, and this is the first time a photo looked like it!
I call this shot 4 bars. Get it?
I really love the visuals from this performance. This shot in particular
Angel? Demon? You decide. I call her angelic. Oddly enough, I think he looks slightly angelic as well. You would see the irony if you could read his belly… I’ll let you imagine what it says. It’s one of my favorite tattoos on another person!
Speaking of the divine, this almost looks like church!
