PHOTO SHOOTS! AND OTHERSUCH.

After the well-deserved summer holidays it´s easy to notice autumn is coming nigh... suddenly there´s so much to do! Of course, we haven´t been resting only, seeing as we practiced the new group routine and made the clothes for it during July and August - and I can tell you it´s quite a lot to do, sometimes, painting five pairs of skeleton gloves for instance. That´s ten gloves for you, each of them painted twice... so yeah. Not only resting. ;)

However, come autumn, it´s time for photo shoots as well. You already saw the first group promo pics of us by Emma Jo, posing as wild and fierce jungle kitties, but I´ve been busy elsewhere as well. Here are some results from a photo shoot with Adam Monaghan that I was doing last week, mainly foot modeling but some portraits as well, here you go, I like the results a lot myself:













Adam is a skilled photographer who´s comfortable and easy to work with and we always end up having a lot of fun. He occasionally shoots at burlesque clubs as well, mostly b&w. I do think that my nice brand new red heels deserved the colour attention in these pics though. ;)

WILD AND FEARLESS!

You may remember the Jungle shoot about a month ago? Here's the results!

And tonight we will not only be wild and fearless but also ee-ee-eevil, so see you at Demon Night over at Kokomo's Kokonut Kult!

JUNGLE SHOOTING IN THE EVENING SUN

Last week we took some new promo shots with Emma.
Results to be seen somewhat soon!

HEAVEN OR LAS VEGAS

Long time no see! After a well-deserved winter break the Bitties are rested and eager to face new things to come - and boy, will there ever be some, and then more! Some of it will remain a surprise for a little while still (but I can assure you we´re chuffed!!!), but some of it is fancy news already -

- WE´RE GOING TO LAS VEGAS! In June! That´s right, The Itty-Bitties will be ruffling their plumage at the one and only Burlesque Hall of Fame June the 2nd. This year there will be more Finns taking the stage there than ever before, because Olivia Rouge and LouLou D´Vil will be there as well! Ain´t it marvellous. Expect long and excited rants about preparations, packing, performances and what-not.

Furthermore, our first-ever burlesque beginners´ course was finished and celebrated with sparkling wine and cheerful performances within the pink walls of Bittycave - here you can see the teachers, trying to look as stern and proper as teachers should...



Also, three of us got the chance to shoot with the fantastic (and oh so sweet!) Kaylin Idora during her visit to Finland; more on that, too, later, we hope, but here are some teasers to go:

Tinker Bell in the snowy forest:



( ... that was by the way the quickest photo shoot I´ve ever had the pleasure to attend. Twenty minutes tops, and we were done. Of course, the snow and the cold helped with being very efficient!)

And Vera De Vil as an odalisque:




That´s all for tonight, kids, but watch this space... watch this space!

(Oh and! I´ll personally kiss anyone who knows the band that inspired the post title... hee!)

A GHOST STORY

Once upon a time there were three girls... but that´s all we know about their story. Sadly. These days they are no more than wraiths or spirits, a touch a cobweb, a cold breeze; that is, ghosts. Will you let us haunt you, pretty please?

... or you can make up your own story, on basis of the following images:









The scary-but-oh-so-sweet Jackie O´Lantern:



The dead-but-delicious Tinker Bell:



The eerie-and-elegant Vera De Vil:
