Fierce Queer Burlesque Festival – Kickoff 2

I just had too many photos to keep them all in one post! Without further ado…

Juicey D. Lite had me from the moment she walked in with that tray of watermelon – I thought “oh she went there” and oh did she. By the end of the number I was thoroughly impressed by her creativity in expression of something just touchy!

Pulling off the eyelashes – such a small gesture with a big message… the best.

Cherry La Voix graced us with a song about the switch hitter swing – a catchy tune for sure :)

Butch Mystique (an incarnation of JJ Cox) and Ginger Jones were the headliner, and damn did they turn it out! So much expression and hotness – pardon me while I flood the post with all the fantastic photos I got. I simply couldn’t cut very many and MUST share!

That’s all folks! Two more nights of beauty, boobs, expression, boobs, burlesque, queerness, and boobs… coming up! :)

Fierce Queer Burlesque Festival – Kickoff

The Fierce Queer Burlesque festival was right here at home this year – next year it moves on to Wisconsin! I am so happy to have been the photographer for the past two years. This year was HUGE! I have so many great photographs I don’t know what to do with myself. It will definitely be a multiple post event – keep your eyes peeled for the coming photos from Friday and Saturday nights!

The festival had it’s kickoff at Bossy Grrl’s Pin Up Joint. The house was packed, the energy was excellent, and the entertainment was of course top notch!

 

Kaiser Colonic was as she always is – a fabulous emcee with a filthy mouth and dirty mind. She is the hostess with the mostest, the bees knees, and all of that. If she hosted every show I shoot I would be a happy girl!

columbus_ohio_queer_burlesque_photographer_fierce_1

Miss Ladymonster  showed that fringe what it’s for and lit up the stage – she was just beautiful and glowing the entire act. Love her, love her numbers always!

My favorite part of this photo is the photographer’s expression :D

Moxie Rhodes of Peach Pies Caburlesque brought the 60s flare – I felt like I was in a swinging shindig baby yeah!

Oh my this is my second favorite number of the night – and only second because I am biased about the first – it was to the song Conquest by The White Stripes…if you can imagine it as you look over the images –  and was so awesome. Bravo Lou D. B’Havior!

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.

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:

trauma-2012-provocatique-1192_blog
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-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.

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.

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!
