Why Suicide Girls?

7

A little essay / rant I've started posting on my online portfolios, after getting tired of being told by photographers why I shouldn't be doing Suicide Girls sets ...

************

It has come to my attention, since I started posting on my ports that my usual precondition for TF work is that I get a Suicide Girls set out of it, that a fair few...

@dhyani Just needed to get it off my chest. So many togs I've met who seem to think I should feel very privileged to travel miles to shoot with them without getting paid or without even getting to do work that I can make use of. Not that I expect this to stop them all.
dhyani:
@persephonepitstop  - sorry, my life has been so busy and exhausting of late that I’ve barely had time to sleep, let alone read the blogs of those on SG whom I follow and who follow me, so sorry about missing your response. Well, I’m glad you took the time to express yourself, and thank you for providing another definition to the word “togs” for me. Prior to your response above, the only definition of that word I knew was in reference to clothing. I hope that you find a tog that will take the right pix and treat you and this excellent site with the dignity they both deserve. If you have a chance, please check out my latest blog; I’d love to have a question from you in my upcoming experimental mini-set. Hugs, girl! 💗💜🖤🤗

Pretty Fly ...

For those who care about such things, 'tis my most recent solo, at Ffresh Burlesque (Wales Millennium Centre, 15/3/19). Contains hints of nudeness ...

Though one of our smaller venues, this was actually a really nice place to debut this routine, as the strange purple backlighting was actually a lovely, ethereal addition, making the wings look so much more translucent and delicate (though they are...

What a cool little show I just watched, this is to cool, probably the coolest thing I've seen on this website today, and your one sexy fly girl. Your show was very entertaining, and I don't see where any changes are needed.
persephonepitstop:
@weedfarmer SQUEEE!! And thank you. ;) If I can be a sexy fly girl, I will consider my life well spent. <3

Big Thank You

15

Too many people have shown support to my first photoset to thank you all individually, so I just wanted to post something to let you all know how much I appreciate it, not that I expect less from such a welcoming community as this. Still ... as soon as the set was online I wanted to delete it. I still cringe to look at it...

I've always felt that anyone who publishes a hopeful set, anyone who shares so much of themselves with this community, is exhibiting such amazing courage. Be who you are... own it, and all that you are will shine through in the photos. Congraats on your first set!
persephonepitstop:
@christien Thank you, lovely. :) You're right in so many ways, though I still hope I can at least make a better job of the next set ... The first was a learning experience.

Debut set in one week, apparently. Time to freak ...

29

According to my stats, my debut set is going up in only a week. My feels on that is mixed ... I have taken two sets so far, and while I was proud of the first at the time, I felt the second came out far better: I had been here a month since getting my hopeful account, had seen and been inspired by many...

Well @persephonepitstop does Sylvester Sneekly (veiled reference)  know what you've been up to?

@digitalsol  I hope not, and glad someone got the allusion. ;) xxx

No concealed weapons

Our Cardiff Cabaret Club has become obsessed with James Bond of late, and here in the advanced group routine (I got ambitious this term, though how wisely I am uncertain …) is my tiny contribution to said obsession:

I do have another solo planned, with a science fiction theme, but it is currently on pending for a date, as although my teacher (the inimitable Foo...

Brexit Burlesque

4

Cardiff-based musicians Jason "Flapsandwich" Philips and Sandor "Cosmo" Dus, having made an anti-Brexit protest song, asked if I would like to contribute some burlesque dancing to the music video. Always being up for some insanity to liven up the day, not to mention being ever-more wistful for the days when my EU citizenship seemed like something I could always count on, I jumped at the...

@dhyani Never seen it, but I have a feeling the same line (or a similar one) is in "Doctor Strangelove." x
dhyani:
Yes, there definitely is; not that we needed any reminder that the current brand of political and governmental nonsense has been around for a LONG time. 🙂

Pretty Techno Moth Ladies

10

The videos of our last burlesque performance (22/12/18, Cardiff Cabaret Club at the Neon, Newport) are now up on Youtube, letting me finally relive the time I dressed up as a giant golden moth and twirled around to Swedish techno. Totally worth skiving off work for the evening ...

2018 Burlesque Grand Finale

12

Ah 2018, I shalt fondly remember thee as the year I became fully myself both physically and by finally filling the burlesque-shaped hole in my life thanks to Cardiff Cabaret Club. This photo is from our final event of the year - "Stocking Filler," 22nd of December - in the Neon club, Newport. I didn't do a solo on this occasion, but I did take

Falling Out

27

An unused preview shot from my just-now-accepted second set "Wasteland Warrior", due for member review in the standard (if excruciating) wait time of four months. Although I have a debut set due up before that, this is the one I am excited about ... Shot in the gloriously dilapidated ruins of a defunct Welsh holiday camp, we went for a post-apocalyptic theme with a dash

You’re both freakin’ wonderful and adorable! I’ve always been impressed with your writing,  @kilium, and @persephonepitstop is the most interesting person I’ve met here!

Amid blushes, I bid thee both a very grateful goodnight. xxx :) @wolfetone11  @kilium

Backstage Burlesque

A backstage shot from Cardiff Cabaret Club's Halloween show at Heath Hospital Social Club (AKA "Zombie A&E" show). Me at far left, in my lovely latex scars, standing next to the gorgeous Wiskey Rae, with the amazing Hadria Hellbound reclining seductively up front (I owe this lady a lot for encouraging and empowering me to fly as a solo burlesquer), and the devilishly handsome Schnitzel
