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!

TRAUMA 2012 Take Two
TRAUMA has become a two night event, and there is STILL never a dull moment. I STILL was not able to see everything there was to see! Here are my favorites from night two.
Again – all images are in a single gallery at the bottom of the page. If you had your photo taken by me – it is in there! If you had it taken by someone else swing by the TRAUMA site!
Button and her Notions kicked the nigh off right with some painting by Cloudhaus and some ponies… and hotness.
Fucking SLASH! ROCK!
Robotainment courtesy of Electrocult Circus during a music mishap for The Sex Kitten Purr=lesque. He made it work!
More Coreroc ladies tonight including Viva Valezz! and a Velvet Heart! OH – be sure to stop by The Fierce Burlesque page for info on the traveling festival!
We took some time out in a more private setting (yeah, the John – what?!) for some extra hot photos
Someone took a picture, of me taking this picture… lol
Lindsay Hearts and Nikki Hearts dropped in for a photo op while we were hogging the bathroom. These ladies are moving on to the big LA – I will miss them both WAH!
The Suspension Artists Collective took the stage and put on a suspension show not to be missed. I’ve seen my share of suspensions, but I have NEVER seen what mister Mute One pulled off. More of that in a minute. First though, the ladies:
I wish you could tell how fast this girl was spinning around, holy hell. Seriously.
Miss Jamie Mayhem is my favorite suspension artist. The girl just glides through the air. And look how damn cute she is. None of that scowling “I’ll rip your face off” stuff with her – no sir – she is all smiles. And for that, we thank her. And that is the coolest suspension rig I’ve ever seen. I want one to hang on my wall. LOL
Intentional blur. I was panning. I like it!
I was using a wide angle lens here. I could have touched her. She swung over the crowd it was saaaaweeet!
I was loving this girl too. Anybody who can hang from hooks in their ribs and do it with style earns points in my book.
Come toward the liiiiiiight…. lol
Ok back to Mute One. The crazy SOB starts out with this climbing harness type thing all up between his legs, and I am thinking “what the fuck are YOU up to?” but I had NO CLUE what he was up to!
I was taken by surprise when he cut the harness, and FLIPPED so I didn’t get a photo. But here is a video by my good friend Sir Todd Eko. He takes awesome video (and pictures) – because he’s Todd Eko.
Right after these shots he cut the final rope and landed on his damn feet LIKE A BOSS.
Me: “Do Jazz Hands by your face!”
Lars the host with the most
OK this was the BEST. Besides MY costume of course lol seriously though, they looked like damn Oompa Loompas!
Speaking of my costume – here’s a good shot of it from We Are Glitterati who always runs a fantastic photo booth at all the places to be…. can you guess who I was?
P.S. If you took photos in the booth and want to buy a print you can swing by their gallery here: We Are Glitterati TRAUMA booth prints
Anna and the Annadroids with another performance. I love their aerial performances so much! Don’t forget to stop by their Indiegogo project for Clone Zone and make a donation! Score yourself some Annadroid swag in the process. Show some love Columbus!
I love this shot. So grungy and UNGH DIRTY!
Favorite image of the night! It’s slightly cropped due to my blog template, but you can surely see why I love it. This woman was phenomenal!
That’s all folks! Look forward to next year, I know I do!

TRAUMA 2012 – Take 1
TRAUMA was awesome as always this year. It was again at The Bluestone which is just an awesome events venue LOVE that place! The costumes were hot, the drinks were cool, and the acts were out of this world. That party never disappoints. If you have not gone yet, it is definitely something to put on your Columbus Ohio party bucket list!
Here are my favorite photos of the first night – the remainder (there are almost 300!) of the photography from both nights can be found in a gallery below my top picks.
All of the guest photos I took are in the gallery if you are looking for yours! Feel free to share them online – just be sure to leave the watermark, and tag the Provocatique facebook page or Twitter page appropriately If you are looking for a photo a photographer took of you, and didn’t find it here, head over to the TRAUMA website!
Lady of My Land was my first encounter of the evening – she had an interactive spanking performance – oh yeah! The music was awesome too… of course.
Viva! and The Velvet Hearts! did an AMAZING number this year on the main stage. There were demons, blood, sin, glitter and boobs everywhere!
Be sure to go get info for the Fierce Burlesque festival – coming to a town near you – with 4 nights in Columbus!
Pandora Foxx did a haunting, beautiful, and hot damn nearly nude number. I love Pandora, if you haven’t seen her perform you have missed out.
Alorha Donahue had fun with fast food – and a FABULOUS costume!
Strip Pokeher did a bloody take on a classic balloon burlesque number – spattering ensued – I braved the elements, and am glad I did!
LOVE THIS GUY! Such a fan girl I am. Graceful, and creepy all at the same time. Bravo!
Kaiser Colonic was fierce in that glittery black bodypaint. I got to watch him apply it, I know you are jealous.
Oh Viva! My lovely bestie. You looked like a badass angel on that stage. WORK!
Yep, that happened.
Cloudhaus did some painting, my favorite:
Coreroc was roaming with the lovely ladies and bangin body paint
I THINK that I met the painter of this piece, I will add her if she did it… terrible memory.
FUCK YEAH! My favorite costume of the night for sure!
Antoinette Seducteur performing with Kinky Kitty Cabaret
Ladymonster was a treat as always – no pun intended. Smores anyone?
Some Janaan Al Jahanni bellydance
Miss Theresa‘s number was certainly my favorite from the downstairs burlesque acts I caught. Her partner was thoroughly enjoying herself
I’m not positive who did this gas mask number but I love the photos!
Moi. I worked VERY hard on this costume. Think it paid off? Note the blood spatter on my bodice lol
Hello!
Anna and The Annadroids were fantastic as always. Anna had an Annadroid Jr on stage – fun! While you are here – you should drop by their Indiegogo project for Clone Zone. Show them some love Columbus! You can score autographed swag from the troupe for donating
How fabulous is this? Please know I intentionally take these photos like this, it is not a happy mistake – though it is not an exact science and there is a lot of “let’s see how it turns out” involved. I was super happy with these results!
A little Guilty Pleasures fun
This year was my 7th TRAUMA – and I can personally testify that His Holiness The Pope has been at EVERY SINGLE ONE
Eye see you! Either you get this one, or you don’t. If you don’t, you should get out more if you live in Columbus!
Roevy. Love Roevy. Period. They rock the house. Always. Plus they look cool.
Look – if your Halloween party doesn’t look like this – you need a new party
