TRAUMA 2012 Take Two

TRAUMA  has become a two night event, and there is STILL never a dull moment. I STILL was not able to see everything there was to see! Here are my favorites from night two.

Again – all images are in a single gallery at the bottom of the page. If you had your photo taken by me – it is in there! If you had it taken by someone else swing by the TRAUMA site!

 

Button and her Notions kicked the nigh off right with some painting by Cloudhaus and some ponies… and hotness.

We took some time out in a more private setting (yeah, the John – what?!) for some extra hot photos

The Suspension Artists Collective took the stage and put on a suspension show not to be missed. I’ve seen my share of suspensions, but I have NEVER seen what mister Mute One pulled off. More of that in a minute. First though, the ladies:

I wish you could tell how fast this girl was spinning around, holy hell. Seriously.
trauma-2012-provocatique-1203_blog

Miss Jamie Mayhem is my favorite suspension artist. The girl just glides through the air. And look how damn cute she is. None of that scowling “I’ll rip your face off” stuff with her – no sir – she is all smiles. And for that, we thank her. And that is the coolest suspension rig I’ve ever seen. I want one to hang on my wall. LOL

Intentional blur. I was panning. I like it!
trauma-2012-provocatique-1254_blog
I was using a wide angle lens here. I could have touched her. She swung over the crowd it was saaaaweeet!
trauma-2012-provocatique-1262_blog
trauma-2012-provocatique-1276_blog

I was loving this girl too. Anybody who can hang from hooks in their ribs and do it with style earns points in my book.

Ok back to Mute One. The crazy SOB starts out with this climbing harness type thing all up between his legs, and I am thinking “what the fuck are YOU up to?” but I had NO CLUE what he was up to!
trauma-2012-provocatique-1382_blog

I was taken by surprise when he cut the harness, and FLIPPED so I didn’t get a photo. But here is a video by my good friend Sir Todd Eko. He takes awesome video (and pictures) – because he’s Todd Eko.

Right after these shots he cut the final rope and landed on his damn feet LIKE A BOSS.

OK this was the BEST. Besides MY costume of course lol seriously though, they looked like damn Oompa Loompas!
trauma-2012-provocatique-1449_blog

Speaking of my costume – here’s a good shot of it from We Are Glitterati who always runs a fantastic photo booth at all the places to be…. can you guess who I was? :)

P.S. If you took photos in the booth and want to buy a print you can swing by their gallery here: We Are Glitterati TRAUMA booth prints

TRAUMA 2012 – Take 1

TRAUMA was awesome as always this year. It was again at The Bluestone which is just an awesome events venue LOVE that place! The costumes were hot, the drinks were cool, and the acts were out of this world. That party never disappoints. If you have not gone yet, it is definitely something to put on your Columbus Ohio party bucket list!

 

Here are my favorite photos of the first night – the remainder (there are almost 300!) of the photography from both nights can be found in a gallery below my top picks.

All of the guest photos I took are in the gallery if you are looking for yours! Feel free to share them online – just be sure to leave the watermark, and tag the Provocatique facebook page or Twitter page appropriately :) If you are looking for a photo a photographer took of you, and didn’t find it here, head over to the TRAUMA website!

 

Lady of My Land was my first encounter of the evening – she had an interactive spanking performance – oh yeah! The music was awesome too… of course.

trauma-2012-provocatique-7_blog

Viva! and The Velvet Hearts! did an AMAZING number this year on the main stage. There were demons, blood, sin, glitter and boobs everywhere!

Be sure to go get info for the Fierce Burlesque festival – coming to a town near you – with 4 nights in Columbus!

Pandora Foxx did a haunting, beautiful, and hot damn nearly nude number. I love Pandora, if you haven’t seen her perform you have missed out.

Strip Pokeher did a bloody take on a classic balloon burlesque number – spattering ensued – I braved the elements, and am glad I did!

Kaiser Colonic was fierce in that glittery black bodypaint. I got to watch him apply it, I know  you are jealous.

How fabulous is this? Please know I intentionally take these photos like this, it is not a happy mistake – though it is not an exact science and there is a lot of “let’s see how it turns out” involved. I was super happy with these results!

TRAUMA 2007

TRAUMA is the best party I’ve been to – every single year! There are always great acts, the best costumes, and opportunities to indulge your voyeuristic side. There’s something for everybody and even if you just go for the dancing and music your night will be top notch!

 

Raks Jahanni

Never tried bondage? You can participate in a demonstration at TRAUMA and see what you think!

But then I saw this guy… do you know what it is (besides a huge penis)? I do!

Viewer participation! You can’t see, but this performer is on stilts – those flowers really were right at nose level. I call this one “stopping to smell the flowers”
columbus-ohio-provocative-event-photography-trauma0726

I really don’t know who this guy is, but he gives me the double finger every time I see him at an event in that costume! Maybe I know him… and he’s just having fun laughing under there because I don’t know!
