TAIZA Poster with Lovesick Western Corset

 Toronto DJ duo TAIZA did a photoshoot for their latest event, and that western themed Lovesick corset made a cameo appearance. Art direction by TAIZA, make-up and wardrobe styling by Liza Kelly, photography by Andrea Johnson.

Check out their monthly events that happen at Margaret, 2952 Dundas West (Toronto), for an all vinyl dance night, with an exciting blend of whatever they feel like playing. Sexy Equadorian disco, Martin Denny, Parliament Funkadelic, obscure Folkways drumming, alleged Haitian voodoo ritual recordings, sleazy dance numbers, and maybe some 50's musicals, too. Dress glamorous !

Here are a couple of alternate pics from the shoot:

From the Archives: Lovesick Red Silk Playboy Bunny Corset

I honestly don't remember what year this was. Early 2000's, somewhere. Tanya Cheex, from  burlesque troupe Skin Tight Outta Sight commissioned a custom Playboy Bunny ensemble. The corset and bunny ears were made from red silk peau de soie, and I made a satin cuff and collar. Tanya must have come up with the tail somewhere. The corset was underwired and had internal boning, and was quite a process to put on (lots of lacing!). 

Tanya Cheex went through her archives, so I am finally able to share these.

P.S. Unknown photographer: Please speak up for a  credit and a link

From the Archives: Widow

I recently came across some images of Widow that were shot by Martin Goldie in 2004. They never went up on the site, because I never was able to get the completed files. Well, I'm finally done waiting so here are the uncorrected proofs. They look stunning to my eye, anyhow.

Widow was wearing the raspberry brocade 1907 corset, with some early 20th century cotton stockings purchased at a thrift store for $0.50. Sadly the woven pattern detail around the ankle and lower calves is barely visible. They were a nice match.

Widow was wearing a red silk pointed cincher, with contrasting black casings with red stitching and silk flossing, and a corset collar with prong set jet crystals. The photos were shot in a truly frightening rooming house type place, above a crummy strip club. One of the residents saw us with photo equipment and asked if we were "shooting a porno". Martin managed to use the available light and location to his advantage -- none of the photos looked they were shot in this horrible, scummy place at all !

If you see Martin Goldie, please ask him to send the corrected proofs now...
