So, I have been busy trying to get ready for Halloween ~ it's a time of year I have neglected in the past.

Being mainly one weekend it never made sense to spend so much time on an act ~ until I started working on TOXIC, the costume has taken longer than I could ever have imagined.

With a combination of Neil Kendalls creativity in the shoot set up, it's worked out to be a really striking image.

My signature act 'Down in Mexio' can of course work with a day of the dead theme & even add fire into it.

I still have my little hula hooping leopard, the idea coming from a stunning vintage image I really wanted to re-create.

​After years of performing I couldn't bring myself to go with something stereotypical for a new Halloween act, so I dove off in the opposite direct and went with pastels! 

​The past few years I have experimented more with makeup, and I think found some looks that suit me.

With the combination of concepts, burlesque and circus skills there is plenty of content for some entertaining acts.

I recently did a Halloween shoot with What Katie Did.

It was nice to go back to the old school pin up style, having moved away from it in the last couple of years.

I have wanted to model for them for a while, so I was really exited at this opportunity.

Pearls and Swine also did some really cute hats to fit the theme.

The extreme shape of these corsets is great - the new patterns they are working from o create these curves are well done.
