So, this is what my night has turned into: GIFs of myself. Lovely.

When I dyed my hair bright red, I joked about the “Little Mermaid realness” I was serving. After a year hiatus from performing, a producer asked me to revive my burlesque act. I had no idea what I wanted to do, but I joked about doing a Little Mermaid bit and it killed. So, I got to work on the costuming and started impersonating Ariel.
But the mermaid costume was only a jumping off point. I kept making burlesque costumes, including bras that were too beautiful to cover up. I’ve made several different styles, debuting them in a runway show and modeling them with a burlesque photographer. As a fat person, dressing in revealing, larger-than-life garments is so liberating to me.

BABE.
That’s me!
My tenderheart is leaving.
I hate everything.
I am the deepest lez.
I’ve got to be the gayest person on Earth.
I just bought a bikini. No lie.
I guess when you piss off self-important, over-privileged middle-aged white gay men for not focusing on them at a youth event, you’re doing something right.
I’m definitely gonna make some sort of publication chock full of all the love and hate mail I’ve received. One if these days.
The delightful Kriss Abigail has done it again. This preview photo is amazing, and I can’t wait for the rest of the set. We shot nearly my entire collection, and Kriss’s eye for detail has me looking fabulous.
Posing for Kriss has given me a peek into the modeling world and how photo shoots really work. These photos are not real life. They are a creation. They are the result of hours of primping and lighting adjustments and uncomfortable poses and hundreds of frames and photoshop. It’s beautiful, but it’s not natural. And now I see every photo for what it really is because I’ve peeked behind the curtain of this illusion and seen how its made.
Perf!!!!
This is fantastic
I don’t know, it’s not that much photoshop depending on who you go to. Half the time I can’t tell the difference between edits and non if it weren’t for the watermark. I will say it is a good couple of hours for makeup/hair, but that’s because curls take time. And posing is really fun when you are just having a good time.
If anything, modeling has made me appreciate the art of photography and just the ability to capture a person’s beauty.
I’m not trying to blame everything on airbrushing or Photoshop. And, yes, posing and creating photos is fun. I’m just pointing out that this is a creation, this is not me. This is not real life. And it took me having a photo shoot like this to understand that all the images I am constantly inundated with, that shape my perception of reality, are not actually real. They only exist in a fraction of a second that was manipulated with light and makeup and posing and costumes, etc.
I’m so excited for spring and summer because all the veggies and fruits will be in season.
And I’m gonna eat them all.
Nothing but fresh stuff from here until the winter.
Because I’m an herbivore. And plants are delicious.
Also, I’ll be doing all the biking.
From here on out, I’m self-identifying as an Amazon dyke.
Lezzifesto is soon to follow.
Another proof from my shoot with the ever talented Kriss Abigail! :) I’m so proud of everything I’ve created for Plump Pinup Life & Style, especially the pink disco bra! I love making and wearing bras as shirts.
But really.
It’s so heartbreaking when a babe dresses terribly.
Like, how did something so right go so terribly wrong?
It’s almost been a year.
En route to the Golden Girls party. Did my makeup on the CTA. #ootd #instafashion (at CTA Bus Stop - Clark & Ridge)
I have so much love for this woman. Beyond being fucking amazing as a human on the inside, she’s a fucking fox on the outside too. I mean first off, the hair, the lips, the eyes, the make up- perfection! But beyond all else… those glasses.
She has so inspired me… …new pictures soon!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words. I can’t wait to see your new photos!
