An Invitation to Love: Valentine’s Day might disappoint but, like music, there is always love in the air at The Pink Room Burlesque! If romance fizzles in February, here’s another chance to make it sizzle with more Twin Peaks burlesque! Your life may sometimes feel like a soap opera within a soap opera but at The Pink Room there is only love and other weird, scary shit. On Friday, March 6th, join Deputy Andy and his baby mama Lucy Moran while we discover Agent Cooper’s one true love: DONUTS. One Eyed Jack’s madam “Blackie” leads you down a dark road of sex and drugs while “good ol’ Pete” Martell serves his love of coffee piping hot – and hopefully without a fish in the percolator. The Lady in the Radiator keeps the room steaming hot with some Eraserhead realness and producer, Francine “The Lucid Dream” has some surprises in store as Invitation to Love’s Jade/Emerald.
The Pink Room Burlesque is a tribute to and satire of the works of David Lynch. Since the anniversary of Laura Palmer’s death in February of 2011, Francine and The Pink Room cast have covered everything from Twin Peaks, Fire Walk With Me, Blue Velvet, Wild At Heart, to Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead & Inland Empire.

Happy New Year! Here are some shots from my first studio shoot! We worked out of my home for privacy and used my new Canon SL1 with Tamron 28-270 lens. I also utilized Philips Hue light bulbs in my shadow boxes to be able to adjust the lighting brightness and… hue with the touch of a button from my phone! This was an incredible way to paint with light!! The model, who shall remain nameless per her request, was totally RAD!

Dances of Vice is and entertainment company producing high-end vintage inspired events all around New York City. It is my pleasure to attend and shoot these events. They force me to be extremely familiar with my camera settings and quick to shoot. These girls move fast, and we’re all on a boat in the dark. Getting these shots is definitely tricky and a lot of luck. Here are some of my favorites. The next Burlesque Cruise is on September 11th. visit http://www.dancesofvice.com for more information.
Last night was the start of something wonderful! Stockholm Filly, Foxy Vermouth, Pearls Daily, and Lickitty Split made their debut as The Lean Mean Strip Machine! Their show was inspired by music from The Big Mean Sound Machine’s album, Marauders. They took the audience on a silent film style show of epic proportions. Expect amazing things from this group of stunning ladies!
This week one of my photos was published in Time Out NY! I’m not sure if that’s a big deal to anyone else but me, but I was very excited that my name and photo appeared on the same page as Ben Trivett’s here’s the capture of the print and the original shot!
When I started my photography class, I really wanted to shoot burlesque performers and circus performers. The spectacle of it all was very attractive to me. I reached out to Wassabasco Burlesque because I wanted to shoot their Bathtub Gin Show, but they respectfully turned me down. I was finally able to shoot one of their models at the NY Pinup Club’s Film Noir shoot and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the group!
