Bubble chair adventures

I wanted to share about this shoot, because I got to do some really cool stuff on this shoot. There was an entire background change with each set. It's so nice when the photographer has a clear concept in mind, it's fun and challenging to work on a piece of art together, to find the best angle and best mood.

I have new leggings and a new amazing top by Pandora Deluxe Latex. I am so in love with my new outfit! I got the chance to shoot it already. I got to do some pretty amazing acrobatics  with it ^_^ The ball kept making this screeching sound every time I moved, so I was a bit scared that the whole thing would come down at a certain point. Luckily it didn't. I love posing like this, it's challenging and something completely new. I want my own ball now! <3 It's my birthday in a few months ;)

Linda Friesen Couture

New beautiful, dreamy set for designer Linda Friesen Couture, shot by Meredith Thorina Juliana, featuring some beautiful wigs by Insomnium Wigs. I love this set!

It was shot in a park and a lot of people just walked up to us to stare while we were working. You can't see it in the photos, because we had to wait until people moved out of the way again. I find it always weird to model for photography in front of an audience. Not that they bother me, I can easily keep my focus, but I always hate it when bystanders try to sneek some phone shots of me. I find that truly rude and disrespectful! If people would simply ask, I would happily let them take a few shots - if the photographer agrees of course. Luckily, we also got some really nice comments from bystanders, that made up for all the negative things ^_^



If you think bystanders can cause problems whilst shooting, try changing into your next outfit with that same audience. I am the queen of sneek changes! No one noticed! :D

On tour: London - the wishlist edition

Did a small trip to London last week. Most of it was just vacation and sight-seeing, but I did a few shoots too - of course, because I'm a workaholic like that. :p

Going out in London! I am so proud of the way my make up turned out here, that I really wanted to show you! I guess this is my new favorite selfie. ^_^

I was happy to be able to work with Richard Pryde - who happened to be traveling in Europe - with styling by Linda Friesen Couture. I love this dress so much! We wanted to shoot at the Highgate Cemetery, but apparently that's not allowed. We had to sneak the styling in and only had about 15 minutes before closing time. Nevertheless, this came out of the camera! <3
 

After talking on the internet regularly and postponing my last trip, Luci Alice and I finally managed to shoot together. Yay! ^_^ We shot some awesome dresses by Pandora Deluxe Latex and a bodysuit by Slaughterhouse Couture combined with a top by Kaori's Latex Dreams. We must have worked hard and fast, because we managed to shoot 4 dresses in 10 different sets, in a total of 4hours, changing secretly in a public place included. I love how each set has it's own unique feel to it and looks nothing like the other sets! Can't show you more than these 4 Back of Camera's, because the rest of them are up for publication. :)

On Stage: German Fetish Ball 2015

Oh gosh, am I in love with this event!

First of all, it's in Berlin. Berlin is amazing! Secondly, it has a Fetish Fair, where I might have indulged in buying me some gorgeous latex by Pandore Deluxe. And last but not least, I got to walk for Ardita Fetish Fashion in this amazing outfit!

I did almost slip out of my shoe on stage because of the slippery stockings I was wearing, but I guess I recovered well - did a little bow and everything. It definitely felt worse for me than it looked for the audience.

I'm at 6:03

Also, I won this super cool bunny mask by Jaded Jewall. Did a super fast photoshoot backstage with Bommi in my party outfit and the mask. Made the purple latex dress myself. If you'd like to know more about my designing hobby, please check "Noire". ^_^

On Stage: Fetish Art Expo 2

I walked in the fashion show for Boutique Minuit at the Fetish Art Expo in Brussels. It was so nice to finally being able to do a show in my own country. I met so many nice people after the show! ^_^

Each model had 3 outfits, here are mine:



I was proud that I was chosen to model the prototype of the jacket for Tatjana Warnecke. I loved it, it had so many posing possibilities with the small diamond strings on the sleeves.

Workshop: Venice

Pfew, haven't blogged in a while. Means I'm very busy!

Let me update you on my Venice trip.
I loved Venice. The city and the delegates were lovely and I really enjoyed meeting Zoi and catching up with Faye and Trevor Yerbury. I was modeling for Gordon McGowan this workshop.
Only downside was that we had to get up at sunrise, so we could capture the city without tourists. It was very cold so early in the morning, which unfortunately limited posing possibilities.

Nevertheless, here are a few stunning photos. Haven't received a lot of photos yet, but I have found a few online already.

On tour: Chicago

Day 1 (Thursday 19)
A lot of "getting" was done.
Getting up early. Getting on a plane to Chicago, Illinois. Getting from the airport to the hotel. Getting into bed.

Day 2 (Friday 20)
I am very much jet lagged at the moment, so I woke up at 6am local time, which was fine because we had to get to the venue by 8am to prepare for the show on Sunday. The 'Candy Pop' collection will be on the big stage, headlining on Sunday at the "America's Beauty" fair. Lot's of dying, washing and brushing my hair until it looked perfect again. We also had rehearsals today and I must say that the choreography looks smashing!

Day 3 (Saturday 21)
All models have a day off today, so we went shopping. Bought some cool tops and fell in love with Frozen merchandise at the Disney Store. I just might go back there and buy everything Frozen related they have.

Day 4 (Sunday 22)
The day of the big show. It was a stressy day, but we did well. I was so nervous, you wouldn't believe it, but we nailed the choreography and poses on stage.
Lot's of people wanted to take photographs and touch our hair when we walked around on the fair.



After the show and fair, Sara and I had our first shoot in Chicago. Photographer was Dallas Brown, who works mainly with film and polaroids. This was my first real shoot with Polaroids, so it was an exciting experience. Great way to really get this modeling trip started!



Day 5 (Monday 23)
Woke up early again to a snowy Chicago. It's so pretty but so cold!

Today I had to model at a workshop with William De Ridder. In the afternoon Sara and I were supposed to shoot with a local photographer. He messaged us that he had left home for our hotel, but he never showed up. No message so far as to why he stood us up. I hate no-shows!

Day 6 (Tuesday 24)
Last day at the Sheraton Hotel. We slept in and checked out right on time. Went for some more shopping - I bought 3 really cute panties at Victoria's Secret in bright colours. I really need more bright colours in my wardrobe in stead of the usual black.

After a very bumpy taxi drive to our new hostel, we arrived well and settled in our new room.

Day 7 (Wednesday 25) - Day 11 (Sunday 29)
I have a few days off now (thanks to more cancelations, wth is wrong with this place? -_- ) to do some tourist stuff and more shopping. Yay! Always look on the bright side, I guess. :D

Let's start with going to the movies. Cinderella it is! My first time in an American movie theater. It's a little different from what we're used to in Belgium. No subtitles, beautifully decorated theater hall and the system to buy snacks is more complicated.

Because I haven't talked enough about food yet, here are some more food pictures of the FODMAP friendly food I prepared:


Day 12 (Monday 30)
Video shoot time! Stoptime 341 Productions.

Day 13 (Tuesday 31)
We had a shoot with Emspace, that was absolutely amazing. I love the way he uses light to create art.

Day 14 (Wednesday 1)
Time to pack our stuff and fly home! In retrospect, in Europe I never had this many cancelations and flakes in a whole year, as I had here in one week, but had a great time nevertheless. I enjoyed seeing more of the city in stead of working all the time. Bye Bye Chicago! Thank you for giving me a great time!

On Stage: The Hair Project 2015

Last weekend was the bi-annual fair for hairdressers in Belgium; The Hair Project. I was one of the models for William De Ridder's "Candy Pop" collection presented on stage during a spectacular live show. Not only was I a model for this collection, I also designed and created the 4 dresses worn during this live show and the photoshoot.


Enjoy the show:
