Some lo-res candids that were originally to be included in my Fallout-based set "Atom Bomb Baby". Alas, they had to be removed as I mistakenly thought I that could include "extras" as long as no-one was recognisable (to wit the photographer playing the raider, and my lovely GF playing the merchant). While I did include emergency captions to fill in the story in the (now severely edited) set, some may be curious to have a sense of how we'd originally intended it to be seen. However, the lesson for the future is definitely to be less ambitious in my weird concepts.

From a recent shoot by Peter Jones (https://modelfol.io/Gillott).

Some of my favourite shots from an Ophelia shoot I did this spring with the amazing, lovely, and totally mad Chucker Badger (who did my "Dalek Hunting" set). This was inspired by the famous Preraphaelite painting by John Everett Millais, and was photographed at Castle-upon-Alun in South Wales. In spite of the heatwave at the time causing the formerly vivacious stream there to be mostly dried up on arrival, we managed to find a spot further upstream that was still deep enough for me to get all wet and corpsified. Spot the glaring anachronism if you can ... I need to choose a couple of images from this set to add to my portfolios, so please feel free to name your favourites if any stand out for you. xxx

Just three snaps taken by my lovely girlfriend in her hotel room, very impromptu. I wasn't going to post them, but there's been some rather nasty body-shaming on this site today, and it's Pride season anyway, so what the Hell?

The last #lockdownlewks challenge of the year from my burlesque group was themed "Toytown". Not that I know anyone who wanted a creepy clockwork catgirl clown under their Christmas tree, but here we somehow are.

Burlesque legend Flossie Smalls tasked us local performers to come up with #lockdownlewks for the theme of "Festive Fantasy". This was a broad enough concept that I felt comfortable being the predictable little Goth and digging up the corpse of Halloween for another quick jaunt... x

Another Halloween #LockdownLewks entry for our local Cabaret groups' monster-themed challenge this week. A lazy offering costume-wise, as this is an old costume from back when I was burlesque dancer, and weird artsy people actually did things, but I've given it a little trans spin, just because.

Now that local lockdown is back with a vengeance, our local burlesque legend Flossie Smalls has relaunched the Halloween Edition of her #lockdownlewks weekly event to keep all of us frustrated Cardiff cabaret types in an upbeat and macabre mood. "Raise the Dead" was this week's theme, and since vampires are by now a tad cliché for me I decided to weird things up with an old flapper dress, an Isis statuette, an upcycled paintbrush handle, three pairs of nude tights and a whole fuckton of Poundland masking tape. STORY: 1926 - Miss Theodora Markway, daughter of an eminent archaeologist (if somewhat careless with his cursed Egyptian artefacts), makes an extremely unfortunate choice of ashtray... Video of this strange escapade hopefully to soon follow on my OnlyFans.
