Christmas is right around the corner and makeup artist Audrey Ivory suggested that this year we go all out and put up a 9ft tree... I figured, why not? This set has been lots of fun to put up and to photograph! We even made poster calendars for everyone that wanted to see their christmas shoot all year long ;) One of the most memorable shoots was with Billy L'amour - who, if you don't know, is one of the most talented and sassy drag queens Montreal has to offer. Billy sauntered in (all 7ft with heels) and worked the crap out of this set in less than 15 minutes. This image was used for Billy's sold out Christmas show and Christmas cards- it's a total honour for me!!<br />

I also recently had the pleasure of photographing The Montreal Burlesque Festival's founder and curator, Scarlet James. Here are a few images in which we took the natural beauty concept and gave it a little femme fatale twist. We wanted to portray Scarlet's elegance but still have a little bit of that burlesque cheekiness!</div>

There's something sexy about a woman confident enough to show you her true beauty - nude, in her favourite lingerie or simply in her baggy sweater and wool socks with chipped nail polish. What do you think?<br />

I've always loved the Addams Family and The Munsters - watching old reruns with my grandmother was a staple of my childhood! Two of the greatest people I know, Annie and Fred are the real life Morticia and Gomez - we jokingly call them this because of the beautiful couple they are and also because Annie has this fabulous sense of style so reminiscent of Morticia. I wanted to capture their love affair (they even met and fell in love working at a funeral home!!) in fantasy for a long time now... and then the idea just struck - why don't we do a halloween special with the concept? An idea was born! So many people participated in bringing to life characters from the show, it was overwhelming! Here are some of my favourite shots! </div>

We have some great new sets at the studio! The first is an homage to our favourite video games and movies - A post-apocalyptic wasteland. I had the immense pleasure of photographing Lauren Stone, the amazing and talented wife of Travis, a co-writer of Fallout New Vegas. Here She's embodying a nuclear disaster survivor, a pinup fresh out of the vault followed by a seasoned Mad Max inspired Raider.</div>

Below we have Audrey Ivory doing a more classic Pinup with a little sass. My Incredible mother was the personal shopper for this set - I wrote a list of items I'd like to have for this homage series and she basically found every little detail, and then some. Some of the accessories include: A machete, Laser guns, Tank Ammo rounds, Missile Carrier, Gas Masks, Ammo Boxes, Helmets, Giant Bullets and more!</div>

Personally, I love makeup and I wear it because I f-ing want to. PERIOD. Being a woman is awesome, why not take advantage of all the awesomeness it entails? I can wear no makeup, I can wear pants, I can wear a dress with combat boots, I can be a boss lady, I can be a delicate flower, I can be a cutthroat hustler. Yo, the world's my oyster - lemme get some lipstick on that if I damn well choose.<br />

<br />
My advice for people unsure of taking the HD makeup option or people screaming feminism etc...<br />
<br />
1. Do it only because you want to - you are not obligated in any way to do anything you don't want to.<br />
2. Do it if you're going to make me retouch you as if you were wearing makeup... 'Cause that's just stupid, if you know what I mean.<br />
3. Do you want to look like the girls in the portfolio? Yes: They're wearing HD Makeup<br />
<br />
Here's a great example of HD Makeup by makeup artist Audrey Ivory<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Audrey does both makeup and hair for 60$ - which is a real steal considering most makeup artists are double the price for half her skill. If you'd like to book her services let us know when you book your appointment, you won't be disappointed!</div>
<br />
What is HD Makeup?<br />
It's simply a makeup heavier than an everyday foundation, blush, mascara, eyeliner & lipstick look.<br />
It involves contouring your particular face/neck morphology, colour correction and eye/lip shape. The final product on camera is a classic porcelain finish (we're talking texture no matter what your skin tone may be). Though it may seem very heavy in real life; on camera it gives a timeless starlet look that is very beautiful and simply enhances your natural features in ways you may never have imagined.<br />

What a crazy couple of months it has been!<br />
First - I'm sure some of you heard; Diablos (the restaurant below us) literally burst into flames. The fire destroyed pretty much the entire building and in the process exposing the nice little old lady next door's massive grow-op. Who knew? We were fortunate however, the firefighters saved the majority of our stuff - both personal and studio. It was a hectic day as we waited outside (me in my pyjamas with two restless dogs) to find out if anything was salvageable at all.<br />
<br />
The fire stopped around one in the afternoon, but the firefighters continued to douse the embers and take apart the walls for a steady six hours. It was hell.<br />

Thankfully we were escorted in by some awesome firefighters who helped us pull out the necessities. At this point we had been drinking beer on our handy red cross provided blanket in the alley behind the blaze for also a solid 6 hours... so needless to say Meg haggled to be escorted by the firefighter of her choice. You have to laugh, right?</div>

Homeless, studioless and feeling like the littlest hobo, we wondered where we were headed and who could take us in in such short notice? Finding an appropriate space that doesn't cost a fortune (starving artists over here) isn't all that easy in MTL. The rent was either way too high or affordable but too far from downtown in every available space scouted. BUT THEN - the awesome people at La Commune stepped in. Not only did they offer us an affordable space but they also provide us a genuine communal atmosphere, where everyone helps each other out, people brainstorm together and shit gets done. I couldn't ask for a place that feels more like HOME.</div>

Thank you to all our friends and family who KICKED ASS and helped us clean, move and just cope with this huge ordeal. A really special thanks to Fred, who tirelessly made trip after trip, moving our shit in nothing less than a hearse. Yes, a hearse. It was rad. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had an interesting encounter this morning at Tim Hortons. Granted, I was wearing my unicorn jammies and yesterday's makeup (don't judge me) and probably looked a little derelict.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also may or may not have assaulted a stranger with a GOT reference which he totally did not get. (he looked EXACTLY like Jon Snow and when he couldn't get his damn order straight I started laughing and shouted: "you know nothing, Jon Snow!!")</div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The dude behind me got it, we high-fived. My life is awesome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, an older gentleman was chatting with his friend and I was passing my time, waiting for my double-double, eavesdropping. (what else am I supposed to do, come on!) He said something really interesting: "I don't think big girls should get tattoos, it only looks good on thin young women"</div>

That has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Yes, tattoos are meant to be ecstatically pleasing... to the person they're on. It's called choice. Granted, some people make stupid choices - but that's their damn prerogative. So shut your judgy mouth sir. Like, right now. I smiled and raised my coffee to him and strutted my unicorn-clad, tattooed, round, fiiine ass outta there. Tattoos are for those that want them, regardless of age, gender, size or race. </div>

I've been documenting my online dating experience using dating sites like POF, OKCupid and the like. These days online dating is widely accepted as an alternative to traditional dating (you know, going up to someone and saying "hi"?). A large majority of photos I take for people, both clients and friends, use these images for their dating profiles... and they all say the same thing: online dating is hell.<br />
<br />
I'm no stranger to online dating - I met an awesome dude and we had a short-term but happy relationship that I would classify as a non-hell related experience... but this was YEARS ago. Apparently the online dating game had changed and I wanted to see what it was like for a plus size (16-18 US) 30 year old woman with lots tattoos, irregular work hours and a non-conforming job.<br />
<br />
I did this experiment in three parts. The first part I put my "best" foot forward, the images I deemed the most attractive as well as a profile that described my best qualities to almost a self-involved fault.<br />
<br />
The second was a more honest profile encompassing my entire personality and life as well as what I'm able to offer in a relationship. This profile was brutally honest and I had to take a hard look at myself to see what I was realistically able to share with another person in a relationship such as: time, commitment and passion. I used images that I loved of myself as well as candid photos from my "everyday" life that gave a realistic portrait of who I am.<br />
<br />
The third was a bit of a joke that I threw in last minute. I used some horrible pictures that I harass my friends with via texts and PMs. Ie; no makeup, non flattering poses, etc... My friends and I don't take ourselves too seriously and we tend to prefer laughs over appearances any day. I wrote barely a phrase about myself and threw it online.<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm going to share all of my profiles.<br />
I'm also going to show you responses from men that have contacted me, both good and bad. There were some genuinely lovely men out there and I want to give them their dues. There were also a TON of slime bags. Filthy, filthy slime bags. I've been compiling information for this article for 12 months, 2 weeks and 3 days... at which point I just gave up. it looked something like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll break it down into parts per profile; the "self-involved" profile, the "honest" profile and the "joke" profile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I want to discuss the severe CRAZY that's out there and the constant harassment that women online face. I'll also discuss the effect that online dating has on real-life relationships and expectations... I found after the entire experience I've discovered a lot about myself; including that online dating is not for me. Now, I know a lot of people have had positive experiences so keep in mind that this is simply MY experience as well as my personal reflections and opinions. I've left out names and photos ('cause I don't want to get sued, yo). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In every profile I specified my age, body type and that I was looking for a relationship. I used tag lines like: "Looking for someone interesting" or "Seeing what's out there" - very general and non-exciting. I had every intention of meeting and going out on dates with anyone that "clicked" and keep in mind that though my profiles varied I didn't make anything up about myself - I simply hid or accentuated some aspects of my personality based on other profiles I had read (about 300+) on various dating sites.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here we go...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hiya! I'm a young successful entrepreneur here in Montreal. I love going out to concerts, drinking my Jamie and having a whole lot of fun! I work weird hours, but whatever - you'll figure something out if you want to hang out! I love my life and am willing to make a little room for someone interesting! I'm in an artistic field - often behind the camera but often asked to pose. My style is a little goth mixed with pinup and I consider myself cute, fun and funny. I like going out to movies, reading about fashion and playing with my dogs. Drop me a line if you see something you like. I don't like boys; get your shit together. I have lots of tattoos, I pride myself on choosing the best artists for each piece. You don't need to be tattooed, no worries ;) </div>

<b>The Response:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let me just specify that this profile makes me cringe and I hate it to the point of being disgusted with myself. This isn't even the worst one that I wrote - but definitely the one that had the most activity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I received about 5-10 messages a day making it impossible to answer everyone on top of my regular work load. I gave about a half hour every couple of days to check and reply to messages (at like, 3am). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The majority of messages are something along the lines of: "Hey"(207), "What's up"(212), "I'd hit that" (164), "Cunt" (97). Amount of men that sent an engaging message with a complete profile (by complete I mean their "about me" section is actually filled out with coherent phrases): 32. The rest, well, it's pretty sad. Quite a large amount of guys would simply send me "hey" over and over again (often when I wasn't even online); after about 4-6 "hey"s they'd actually begin to insult me. "stupid slut", "fuck you too then", "Stupid bitch" were all on the menu. I even got a "fuck you, you deserve to get raped". Keep it classy, Montreal.</div>

The majority of men completely overlooked what I ACTUALLY wrote and skipped straight to: "you seem so nice and down to earth" REALLY? If you're going to copy paste those compliments sir, you had better make sure that they make sense! The fact that I was a plus size woman never came into discussion, not even once. This really surprised me actually - I really thought I was going to get hit with the "I love your curves" lines. I mean, how better to appeal to someone so obviously self involved than to compliment them on their physical attributes? Apparently the one liner approach is no longer skin deep - which made me wonder; </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) Is humanity taking a turn for the better and are people appealing to personalities instead of boobs and asses?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) Did they assume that as a plus size woman I would be easier to appeal to if they took a non-physical approach?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2.5) Am I making too many assumptions? Oh dear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) Are men genuinely attracted to this exaggerated facet of my personality? (This thought was promptly followed by sadness, a bag of Cheetos and an ice-cream sandwich)</div>

<b>About Me:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I live here in Montreal but seem to have difficulty meeting new people, due to work schedules and me being a bit of an introvert! I'm going to be super honest here and let you know right away that I work a lot... Like, whatever you think is a lot, multiply that by 2. This seems to cause problems with some people so I'm putting it out there! I work mostly on creative projects and things for clients - I'm pretty fortunate to run my own artistic atelier, I put my heart and soul into it - but I also have a fucking blast doing what I do. This is an experiment to see what's out there in the internet dating world! I suppose, to sum it up, I suck at flirting with strangers in bars and I'd like to meet someone to spend some time with on nights off - which are usually spent hanging out with friends at pubs, going to concerts, playing video games or having a spur of the moment get-together with random people and friends at my place. If you suck at flirting too and want to go be awkward together over a beer, send me a message!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Music and literature will never be lost on me. There's a deep seeded love for all things Metal, grunge and macabre in my heart. Neil Gaiman novels make my knees weak. I have a fur ball that will want to climb on you, kiss you and he WILL insist that you throw his ball at least 10 times. I can't stand to be with someone that doesn't love animals. Though my friends tend to be loud and over-the-top at times, I always seem to be the calm logical friend that gives solid advice with sarcastic (occasionally monotone) wit. I'm really bad at answering the phone (see above paragraph about work) and I don't do so well with clingy people. I don't give a flying fuck about personal fashion but I can talk to you for hours about fashion marketing, branding and new tendencies... if you're into that. Bottom line: name brands won't be the thing I find impressive about myself or you ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hard-headed and opinionated are things people love or hate about me - though I try to be fair an open-minded because I don't believe in fighting just for the sake of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I suck at shopping; one hour tops then I quit and turn into the grumpiest little italian lady you've ever met! I love cooking. I love inside jokes. I love trying new things. I love tattoos, tattoo art, street art, cult movies (even the really bad ones) and the entire baroque period. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm terrible with negativity, people who don't have their shit together and people that can't or won't put themselves in other people's shoes. We're all just people, man. Be fucking decent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The people that I love, I love with everything I've got. I believe a strong relationship is based on connection, sexuality that clicks and knowing that your partner's got your back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Things I'm looking for: Well if you like 3 or more of the things I listed above, we're off to a good start. I'd like someone who enjoys time with friends and doesn't need to be with me 24/7, who's a little brainy (that really makes me happy), has pride in himself but doesn't take himself too seriously ALL the time and can enjoy nights out with friends.... see, you can be awkward; but there's a difference between awkward and reclusive asshole. Physically I tend to be drawn to scruffy, taller men - but I've dated a whole spectrum of shapes, colours and the thing that draws me in is confidence. </div>

<b>The Response:</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I received about 4-10 messages a month. Nine were from genuine, interesting and courteous men who restored my faith (a little) in online dating. Three of which I royally pissed off because I'm an asshole and have terrible communication skills (I was clear up front about not having time to check every day, but feelings were hurt and I'm sorry about that, obviously, it's not a match). Two men declared undying love after a couple of dates - What? What the fuck are you thinking talking about kids and marriage after a couple dates? It worried me, not only for the complete 180 in direction but also my lack in being able to see it coming. One guy was pretty persistent in meeting and when I refused due to his constant harassment (10-20 texts a day), he told me he only liked me because I was ugly and fat; therefore easier to control and better wife material... I wish I was joking. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One guy sent me a link to his profile with the accompanying message: "Eww, gross"</div>

One guy copy pasted Literotica with some pretty explicit things he wanted to do to my ass. That was... special. Most men simply commented on our mutual interests - which seemed to depress me, even though it was a positive thing... I just keep wondering when the "crazy" in them would rear it's ugly head. To be completely fair though - this profile DID yield the highest amount of guys that appealed to me and most men were super respectful and decent. I got a lot of the slut badgering similar to the "Self Involved Profile" (Seems like pretty general behaviour according to all women that I've spoken to). Some dudes just disappeared after a few conversations or once they saw sex wasn't in the cards on the first date - this seems to be standard for internet dating for both men and women (myself included). It's like an all you can eat buffet, of course you're going to get distracted. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One guy asked me for money. One genius asked me for drugs (What? Why?). Two guys asked me "how much?". Some guys just made random comments about my anatomy. </div>

<b>The Response:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Overwhelming. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm blown away by the sheer volume of response to this profile. On any given day, anywhere between 5-20 messages. This was NOT what I expected. IF anything, I expected more slut bashing or other ugly commentary every couple of months.... not this....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
An overwhelming amount of sexual advances... from what I personally find to be some pretty good looking if not gorgeous men. It became pretty obvious that these men perceived my profile as easy prey and that I'd jump at the chance to sleep with them. As Audrey, my makeup artist would say: "LOL LOL LOL" to a joyful little tune. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What the hell? I don't even know what to think. I'm pretty disgusted with a couple guys - they basically turned to name calling and slut bashing once it became clear I didn't "Want the D" (as one guy put it). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If this many guys are initiating this approach, then there must be a certain amount of success to their efforts. Why does a woman become vulnerable when she doesn't fit into the standard constraints of modern beauty? Simple: We do it to ourselves. We're told we have to fit in to a nearly impossible beauty standard all the while living in a society that encourages fast-food living yet shames the bodies it creates - insecurity is a powerful tool. (I wish I could find the amazing video that originally brought this up; so if anyone comes across it, please post it. It brings up some valid points that I could go on about - but it will have to be another night). The only advice I can possibly share to my fellow ladies living this experience is - enjoy the one night stands (if you're into that) but know your value. No one deserves to be used and if men like this make your soul hurt; perhaps change your approach to a more detailed profile that shows people just that: I value myself and what I can offer you. </div>

Naturally, you fill in the blanks. It's impossible to get a complete first impression until you actually meet. Your brain fills in the blanks in the mean time (regardless if you say "No Expectations" or not) so when you finally DO meet the person, it's pretty fucking hard for them to live up to your "fill in the blank" version of them... Especially since most of the men I met put only their best foot forward and hid major things like depression, KIDS, hating their jobs as well as huge social and/or health problems... even mundane things like hair loss, body type, financial problems... etc... were locked away like some dirty secret. What is so wrong with having no hair, being broke and being round. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Hell, welcome to being an adult. I'll get the cake. </div>

As for the serious issues; DUDE; nobody is going to love that fake you and not everyone has the time or patience to give you a chance to try again once they figure it out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everybody has problems and if yours are so bad that you can't sleep at night - you have no business dating and dragging someone else into your mess. Take some "you" time to reflect on why you're fucking up, sort your shit out, then learn to love your life (and live it well) no matter what bullshit cards you've been dealt - because that's life, that's being a grown up. Start looking to share your life when you have something concrete to build on with an honest foundation... and please, please don't fake it. If being shy is your hang up, SAY SO. You may be awesome when you have a half hour and an iPhone to answer a text - but I don't want to date your god damned smart phone. Don't fake being a casanova online when you can't even string a god damned sentence together face to face. So what if you're awkward and conversation doesn't come easy - WELCOME to life for 99% of people! HUZZAH!! Being honest about oneself is hard, I get it - sometimes our perception of ourselves is warped. I know. But you have to try to scratch deeper than the surface of yourself before putting yourself out there! (For you as much as anyone else). Being ignorant of oneself seems like a freaking epidemic today. It sucks! There, I said it! This whole huge monologue just to say; it fucking blows!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A question I've been frequently asked while writing this never-ending entry: "What is it that you want? You want people to list on their profile every single hang-up they have? That's not possible!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No, of course not. I just don't want people to use the internet like a shield against real life. You shouldn't be making shit up - everyone's a god damned MacGyver making something awesome out of nothing. Also, I don't want random guys telling me I'm a slut because I didn't respond to their message right away... I'm good with getting those two things, if nothing else.</div>

<i>I would date this guy, actually...</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Basically this whole experience taught me that if you feel uncomfortable about sharing aspects about yourself - you're not ready to date. That's what dating is; sharing. I want to love you for YOU and all your weirdness... I want to share my weirdness with you! Be responsible and don't engage someone's affections if you're presenting them with an alternate you. SO WHAT if that "awesome" person doesn't dig you because you have (insert your hangup here); (S)he's not a good match if (s)he doesn't embrace it. It's their right to not be interested, it doesn't mean they're a bad person... It simply means that a whole hell of a lot of energy is NOT going to be wasted building a relationship on your crazy flim-flam phony-ass crap. I learned this as much about myself as anyone else.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The worst part is, for the majority of these "fill in the blank" guys - I probably would have really liked them (hopefully they would have liked me too) - if I had met them in a more conventional setting that didn't allow for quite so much embellishment. Bullshit is easier to call and it's definitely harder to lie when you look someone in the eye.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In conclusion; I'm done with online dating. It's not for me and I salute those of you that have the patience and stamina to put up with it all and not go completely insane! I was feeling exceptionally dejected about the whole thing when I came across some Louis CK gold. I'm sharing it with you because this is exactly how I felt after receiving countless whore/slut/cunt messages. It made me feel justified in sticking up for myself - even if it was only online with strangers ;)</div>

If anything - the whole experience has taught me the value of going up to people and meeting them. Like, actually buying them a beer and saying "hey". I've become even more fearless with my face to face flirting; because let's face it, what's the worst they could do? Call me names? Say no? </div>

Been there, done that (as my mama would say)</div>

Every now and then youtube takes me to the black hole of 80s music videos. Most of the time I'm too busy to watch - it's really just background noise that makes me nostalgic for summers spent with my Nana by the pool. (Yes, there was a time when I actually enjoyed the sun, tanning and mother-flippin' Polly Pocket)<br />

ANYWAY - this evening, while working, this video caught my eye. I'm sure I saw this as a child. I'm also pretty sure this video psychologically traumatized me both as a child and today as a designer & feminist. Honestly, you just kind of have to laugh about it. (One of those laughs you give when you're unsure if you should actually be laughing will be perfect)</div>

5. How fucked up is your budget that you have enough money to pay the orgy people (yes, there are orgy people) BUT not enough money to have, oh, I don't know, ACTUAL STREETS. Who thought it was a good idea to lay down all those garbage bags? Did you think people wouldn't notice? Is this some sort of artsy commentary? I don't get it. Actually, never mind - the WHOLE video is like this. </div>

The girls at Speakeasy Burlesque asked me for a secret garden poster for their next big show - so, of course, I got a little carried away and went all Sofia Coppola on their ass. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, needless to say I overdid it a little. I know I go a little photoshop crazy sometimes!</div>

I still love the poster though, so I'm posting it here as part of my rejected work.</div>

Audrey Ivory went a little FX crazy this afternoon with Meg. We were trying to get Meg into a dress but, well, nothing quite fit right... so topless it was. I like how Meg pulled off the "don't fuck with me" face - considering between takes she was laughing at Audrey and her background noise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Amazing work by Audrey once again, the prosthetics are seamless and hand made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ever wonder what Audrey's background noise sounds like? Check out any video on her <a href="http://instagram.com/wildivory" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, it's pretty hard not to laugh.</div>

In other news, a new shop opened up downstairs and needless to say I've fallen in love. The shop is called DECADENCE COSMETICS run by lovely Montrealer, Meagan Baker. The shop carries skincare and cosmetics from various awesome makeup lines as well as lashes and brushes. She also gives makeup classes for beginners to experts. Here's a list of products I've tried and my review:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4/5 AMAZEBALLS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WHY: This gets a 4/5 only because it's not waterproof. Goes on perfectly, not clumpy or greasy, dries mate and has amazing durability.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WHY: WOW is all I have to say for this product. Amazing coverage for a moisturizer, not greasy and can easily be layered for more coverage. PLUS they have the whiter than white line for my delicate, semi-transparent pinup skin. WIN.</div>

Time Balm Concealer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3/5 AMAZEBALLS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WHY: this gets a 3/5 from me simply because it's too covering. Though, it's perfect for HD camera makeup. Works best with a thick primer.</div>

Time Balm Primer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5/5 AMAZEBALLS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WHY: YO, you have to try this, no joke. I have transparent white skin, you look at it wrong and a rash pops up. WATER irritates my skin. The struggle is real. This stuff visibly diminished my redness and smoothed my skin in 10 SECONDS. SECONDS!!! Best primer I have EVER used.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5/5 AMAZEBALLS </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WHY: it's a little jar of gel for your eyebrows - easy application for that perfect pinup brow. Dries and locks in place but I suggest you lock it in with powder. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Balm Lip Plump</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4/5 AMAZEBALLS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WHY: I didn't find much plumping going on, hence the 4/5 BUUUT the minty tinge and the bubble gum smell as well as the non-gooey texture is amazing. The colours seem vibrant but they actually go on much more subtle. I carry this with me everywhere!</div>

5/5 AMAZEBALLS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WHY: Super huge, long, thick and hand sewn so you can actually reuse them - I've reused mine about 8 times now without any apparent damage or deterioration. Easy to clean & has the prettiest box of LIFE!</div>

It's me, your reclusive photographer. I'm sorry I haven't had much of an online presence lately - I've been taking care of business. I hope you understand.<br />
Sincerely, a very apologetic solo artist.<br />
xx<br />
<br />
That being said here's a whole bunch of new stuff!<br />
First, I made the cover & a centre spread of the Journal de Montreal. Wow, what an extreme honour - I did not expect that AT ALL while being interviewed; I thought we'd be somewhere at the back with a little blurb. I am humbled. Thank you.<br />

I've also created a whole new set inspired by NIN's music video; Closer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A whole hell of a lot of sexy, if you ask me. I know I've gushed in the past over the genius of Trent Reznor and his stunning visuals - so I won't put you through it again.... but here's the video again, just incase you want some sexy goosebumps followed by my interpretation. </div>

I've been busy doing tons of things - to many to list & probably trivial but I did get the chance to do this publicity shoot for Lavender May, which somehow turned into my favourite couple shoot of all time<br />

There's also been a new addition to my family. A charming, round, snoring fur ball by the name of Lotus. She and Diesel have quickly become best buds. Here they are debuting our latest set - All my Favourite Things. Candy, excess, flowers, cake and toys. Yo; it's the bomb and I kinda want to live in it.</div>

For ladies who have been to the studio in the past two years or been to any of the Speakeasy Burlesque shows- you've probably met Clau. She's possibly one of the nicest people you've ever met. She's bubbly, funny, creative, eccentric and beautiful. She's helped transform many a self conscious woman into a fucking rock star. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then this happened:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVpNAJ7cXm-avalRpPeg-f4FDaqijoA5eftwHQhIwHgyzU4by10PHbIpqglb37Q87ud7nQLbPho0W-GDYMQ4tkGLQWfTtBQngwP8NXUlIAdpYl23Yw0dv27zBbiddY8Adi2SiqDsgPnPhY/s1600/1394462_10151923076853941_1735618508_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVpNAJ7cXm-avalRpPeg-f4FDaqijoA5eftwHQhIwHgyzU4by10PHbIpqglb37Q87ud7nQLbPho0W-GDYMQ4tkGLQWfTtBQngwP8NXUlIAdpYl23Yw0dv27zBbiddY8Adi2SiqDsgPnPhY/s320/1394462_10151923076853941_1735618508_n.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Excuse me while I throw up in my EYEBALLS for a minute...</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First of all, Jacob Hansen, you're a fucking gash of a human being.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You're everything wrong with our internet culture. I wish you weren't hiding behind your tacky douche glasses, not to mention your computer - so that I could smother you with my equally curvaceous (catastrophic) ASS. Never, EVER, is it ok to attack anyone for no reason whatsoever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Obviously, you're pretty dedicated in your hate towards women - because after you failed to get a response, you just kept GOING. Round of applause everyone! This guy just won Shit Bag of the year! Does it make you feel good to hate on women? Do you feel better about yourself? I fucking hope so... Because if I ever meet you, I'm going to tear you a new one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Second, I understand people have bad days and sometimes someone's got to pay for it. She probably reminds you of a girl who laughed at your tiny dick, or your mother that never made you feel good enough, or your boss that makes more money than you. Maybe she just reminds you that no matter how much you go to the gym you'll still never have anything remotely as attractive or charming as a fucking PERSONALITY... So you took it out on Clau. I can understand that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But understand this; don't ever, EVER fuck with GOOD PEOPLE. All actions have consequences, and your petty, cruel mistake is something I hope haunts you. I can call you names all I like - but people will judge you for who you are; and in these messages you've bared your sad, desperate, worthless soul.</div>
