Look at that girl...

Alright, so yesterday I had a photo shoot with fellow genderqueer and truly FABULOUS makeup artist, Scott Hurr. We traipsed around downtown, cheerfully traumatizing the passersby through a several hour long shoot that involved five separate locations and four costume changes. I got to frolic in Scott's lolita costume against an ivy backdrop, play wood nymph in my gorgeous gold and black medieval gown, and flirt in a alleyway school girl shoot. The first location was a bit awkward - I was in pants and I just never do well shooting in pants unless they are hot and sexy and made of leather.

But the second, dressed in a puffy lolita dress and blouse, swinging my japanese parasol around went magnificently and turned out the best set of the whole shoot. I had a blast and have even been loaned the dress for future play. We got some wicked shots of the boots Scott loaned me (on loan/stolen from another friend) and I just genuinely enjoyed myself. We used the same outfit for the third location, a rundown looking garage office and car where we got some fun retro looking shots.

For the fourth location we decided hit up Chinatown and shot around a fountain/parky type area just off the Skytrain. I got to play wood nymph and bounce around in my barefeet which I love and have not been able to do nearly enough since I moved out of my small and ridiculously clean town. We dragged the same costume down a massive flight of stairs to a little alley beneath, the fifth and last location where we did some "Jack the Ripper" inspired shots and then switched costumes, marched to the opposite end of the alley to play school girl. The last location didn't turn out as well - it was getting darker and without the flash, which tended to cause red-eye issues and funny looking skin, the photos were pretty blurred.

I had a blast though and got alot of random compliments during the shots at the fourth location, both on the dress and Scott's amazing make up work. Of course, I also got compared to a star trek character because of the way they curved my eyebrows up and dotted above them, for effect. They are one of my favorite make up artists to work with because of little things like that, it's just way too much fun wearing extreme make up like that and then going out in public. The photos are up on facebook and I have, as you see, posted small sampling of them here for viewer pleasure.

Cause I looked so hot yesterday, you all must see it ^.^
