If you are following my adventures on social media, you already know I spend a large chunk of August traveling. I flew out to Seattle to attend a wedding, with some of the most relatable people in my family I rarely get to see. I love the Pacific Northwest! As much as I'm happy to live in Chicago, I really do miss the mountains after a while. Mere hours after my return trip, I was on the road again... to Canada. I visited Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Ottawa, Ontario. Shared a beaver tail (an elephant ear-like dessert) with Khoos, but there was no time to get down to business. We did chat lots about what we'd like to shoot when I'm next able to visit. The trip was purely pleasure, and it was just what I needed before diving headfirst into a pile of glittery work upon my arrival home.
Sean O'Connor and I share an easygoing "let's try it!" spirit during a shoot, which is evident in our sets. Shake Your Tail Feathers was an occasion we wanted to showcase my best assets in a bright, bold light. The color palate and variety of textures in this set is very much a reflection of my style. I love satin, polka dots, the combo of teal and pink, feathers, peek-a-boo panties, and a Moulin Rouge atmosphere of decadence and showgirl aesthetic. The most important element of all is to be playful. To borrow the name of one of my favorite small presses, the end result invites you to FUNgasm.
