Day three of the #pinupchallenge and I am showing off some brand-new gold chrome scale acrylic nails from @sugarnails ! You’re never fully dressed (or undressed if that’s the aim!) without your nails so thank you to everyone for recommending sugar nails to me but mostly to @citrine.velvetine and @lenore_n for convincing me to go for acrylics! PS I can barely write in sentences at this time of the night. I really need to be scheduling these posts or writing them earlier. I’m really struggling with daily posting! #pinup #nails #acrylicnails #nailart
Day 2 of 10 of the #pinupchallenge and it’s my very very first shoot organised by pinup icon @ivydynamite with photography by the darling, talented @cats_cakes_and_petticoats ❤️ I remember this day really well. I was so happy! I never thought that I would be able to model like this! #pinup #vintage #victoryrolls #leopardprint #retro #stockings #asianpinupgirls
Day 1 of 10 of the #pinupchallenge ! I was nominated by @vivienvictory and my first day has proven to be very easy courtesy of @atlas.grey ‘s Gatsby themed 30th with ring light selfie booth! I have found it really interesting, on my pinup and burlesque journey, to explore historical make up looks and I thank those who have inspired and encouraged me to do so, especially Vivien, Atlas and @maramaraschino 💋 Wearing @mermaid_salon_ Into the Woods #pinup #gatsby #1920s #vintagemakeup #flapperstyle #flappermakeup #gatsbymakeup #pinupgirl #pinupmodel #asianpinupgirl
I received the proof for this photo at a time when I really needed to see myself as something other than weak. It helped me in ways I can't really articulate (especially after a long week of work, preceded by 6 months of competition preparation)! ⁠⠀ It's also beautifully lit and shot by @camattreephoto and @lilaluxx⁠ took posing assistance to the next level by physically lifting my leg into this position because my body wasn't cooperating, so it was definitely a team effort!⁠⠀Thank you both from the bottom of my foxy heart! ⁠⠀ Costume by @ripley_romper ⁠🦊❄️ ⁠Furry bench by @kmartaus ⁠⠀ #brisbaneburlesque #brisbaneevents #bne #brisbanedance #australia #burlylife #australianburlesque #burlesque #brisbane #dance #glamour #dancer #burlesqueperformer #showgirl #creative #brisbanecreative #vintagepinup #pinupstyle #asianpinupgirls #asianburlesque #fox #vintagestyling #foxspirit #chineseburlesque⁠ #fauxfur⁠
“The act starts with the dancer on stage, with her back to the audience, dressed in an elaborate, Peking Opera inspired headdress, backlit to display only a silhouette. The iconic opening bars play of George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”, a song famously favoured by Asian-American legend, Barbara Yung. The darkness lifts to reveal the dancer wearing a red gown appliquéd with a sequinned peacock.” - An excerpt from my act description when I applied to @missburlesquesustralia earlier this year with neither an act nor footage!⠀💙🦚 Thanks to @lilaluxx and her production team for helping to make my vision a reality!⠀ ⠀ Some more about Asian-American burlesque history here:⠀ https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/when-chinatown-nightclubs-beckoned-hollywood/⠀ ⠀ Photography: @camattreephoto for @missburlesquequeensland presented by @bombshellburlesque ⠀ Peacock gloves, bump skirt and bra: @crystal_queen_stagewear ⠀ Gown: @ripley_romper ⠀ Beaded tassels: @lenore_n⠀ ⠀ #missburlesque #missburlesqueaustralia #missburlesquequeensland #brisbaneburlesque #brisbaneevents #bne #brisbanedance #australia #burlylife #australianburlesque #burlesque #brisbane #dance #glamour #dancer #burlesqueperformer #showgirl #brisbanebusiness #mbq2019 #creative #brisbanecreative #brisbanepowerhouse #vintagepinup #pinupstyle #pageant #asianpinupgirls #asianburlesque #pekingopera #vintagestyling
Fox Spirits feature prevalently in Chinese mythology and usually take the guise of a beautiful, young woman who steals the essence of men by seducing them. There are many stories featuring Fox Spirits in Pu Songling's 17th century collection "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio". My favourite of these is called "Lotus Fragrance" and recounts the tale of a Fox Spirit and a Ghost whose shared love of a mortal man unites them as soul sisters. This story has unusually progressive messaging to do with women supporting each other and men being responsible for their own actions (rather than victim blaming) which is probably why it resonated so much with me, and led me to bring the Fox Spirit character to life!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Photography: @camattreephoto assisted by @lilaluxx⁠⠀ Costume: @ripley_romper ⁠⠀ Wig styling: @pearlyparadox⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #brisbaneburlesque #brisbaneevents #bne #brisbanedance #australia #burlylife #australianburlesque #burlesque #brisbane #dance #glamour #dancer #burlesqueperformer #showgirl #creative #brisbanecreative #vintagepinup #pinupstyle #asianpinupgirls #asianburlesque #fox #vintagestyling #foxspirit #chineseburlesque⁠ #brocade #fauxfur
