In the studio with Photographer Jirina Alanko
Daydreaming while Jirina was adjusting the lights. This is not a finished photo, but it turned out quite nice :) Corset By Belle Modeste.

On tv talking about my vintage collection
I was interviewed for the tv show Aartenetsijät (YLE) (treasure hunters) about my vintage collection.
The program is in Finnish and can only be watched in Finland, sorry :/

Exotic showgirl headpiece for burlesque starlet Cherry Dee
My latest big burlesque piece for the super sweet Cherry Dee (a.k.a. The freelancer with the fashionblog ;)! (Oh, don't mind the mess, my table always looks like that when im working on a huge piece...) There's lots of details, as usual. Mere volume does not do it for me, just huge amount of feathers or flowers makes it look big, but you need details to make it look interesting.
Tassels. Covered with Swarovski diamonds adn beads.
In the making. Base of the headpiece is buckram and millinery wire. Covered with sequin fabric, ribbon appliques and glass beads and Swarovski chrystals.
The huge banana leafs are detachable and can be used as fans.

DJ's of the #helbf14
Two nights of dj'ing, two guest dj's, too looks.
The first night i had the pleasure to play with Dr.Hirschfeld from Berlin! This is the firts but hopefully not the last time we were dj'ing together. What a sharp dressed, lively guy! And since he is the doctor, i was dressed as a nurse. Wearing vintage ofcourse. The lovely vintage nurse hat is from Pepper Sparkles.
The second night i was companied by my frequent partner in rhythm, Atom Of Finland! We play so well together! I was wearing a headpiece by Fiona Timantti Millinery and a dress made for me at my old school, the school of theatre costumes in Espoo.

Another huge showgirl/burlesque headpiece i've been making..
For the past month i've been working on this burlesque headpiece for a Finnish blonde bombshell... I might have gone a little bit crazy with the detail, but it came out fabulous. I can't show it to you yet, since i never post photos on my finished creations before my customers have shown them to the world. It's their premier ;)
This one will be seen on the Helsinki Burlesque Fesival this weekend!
The Amazing Atelieri O.Haapala at Vapriikki Vintage
Few weks ago in Vapriikki, Tampere. The wonderful Atelieri O.Haapala! I can't get enough of their photos and the beautiful backdrops they paint themselfs!
Here's me in my HC vintage look (actually a find from a theatre fleamarket so not really that old. The shirt is second hand and shoes are real vintage leather boots, early 1900) and in the pic below me and my dear friend Ane, a.k.a. burlesque performer Pepper Sparkles.
See all the photos from Vapriikki on Atelieris facebook page.
