First Pokemon Pic

Here's the first picture from the Pokemon photo shoot I did with Phirebrand. More are coming, some will be turned into posters for public consumption, and one will be this month's postcard for those of you who donate at that level.

I Made a Mess

Fortunately the wonderful Phirebrand Arts was there to catch it.This is a Patreon-Exclusive photo. Thanks for supporting me and my art!

Pokemon Go Is Making Me More Productive

So there is a Pokestop that I can hit from my office during the day.Pokestops reset every 5 minutes, so Ihave started setting a five minute timer on my browser.This has an unforeseen side effect where, because I have to stop what I'm doing and change tabs to turn it off, it pulls me out of a lot of distracting behavior. Scrolling mindlessly on facebook? Can't do it for more than 5 minutes before I have to do a thing and then remember to b...

Bad Kitty

Meow! This photo was taken by Estelia Photography and will be published by Cynical Fashion. There's a censored version on facebook, but for you wonderful Patron donors I wanted to share the original. You can purchase a copy of the publicationhere.

Before and after of tonight's makeup. I actually recorded my putting it on (while also eating my dinner) and if I ever get around to editing it I will post it up on here! Makeup is a very calming thing for me. It helps me gather up my strength for being in public and is a very focused task that I can easily lose myself into. It's great for soothing anxiety but awful on the wallet. ;)

Things I Have Done Today

Starting this at 1:45, just gonna keep a running tab of what's on my plate today. Already met with a photographer for lunch to discuss his ideas about a shoot promoting the idea of normalizing body positivity and kink, so soon I might be posting up some behind the scenes stuff with me naked and covered in candle wax!Then I made sure the notes from last night's Fetish Multifarium meeting actually got posted into our facebook group, since m...

Birthday Show

Tonight I'm doing much better. Just slayed it at a birthday show and now I'm going to actually make it in the door of the Anti Block Party.

Before and After

This is one of those "before and after a panic attack" comparisons. The pic on the left is me backstage earlier tonight. The pic on the right is me in my car after a panic attack. To be honest, they don't seem like the same girl. I am ok. I am safe and I am with someone who cares enough about me to make sure that I will get food and aftercare and into bed. Having so many performances tonight was cathartic but also left me emotionally...

New To-Do List System!

Here's some behind the scenes stuff for you. I've used a number of "to-do list" systems over the years. I'm a big fan of lists - it's incredibly satisfying to cross something off, and for a long time I just carried a notebook with me everywhere. At the start of each day I would come up with 10-15 things I wanted to get done ranging from "send email to" to huge things like "finish poster". It felt good to cr...

Sweetness

I've got something sweet coming for all of my wonderful Patreon donors this week. :)

Behind the Scenes

Here's a behind the scenes picture from the set that is going to be released in the next few days. This is what I look like between poses and the most technically unflattering ever.

I Haven't Posted This Anywhere

Nor have I posted on here in a few days. So, here ya go! An as-yet-unreleased photo from a shoot I did with Danny Brown Photography. Tomorrow I'm hoping to type up a "History of The Cabaret of Evil" post. Hope everyone's having a great Monday!

Astra

Some of you know what the necklace I wear represents. Two years ago today, I had to put down my beloved cat Astra. She was my companion for 15 years. My first kitty. My baby. I read somewhere that it's sometimes harder to mourn a pet than a person because animals love us unconditionally. It's easy to remember the flaws of humans. That fucking cat was a firecracker. She could hunt like no other. She demanded affection. She disappeared fo...

Story Time!

Lemme tell you about this fucking skirt. I made 3 different skirts for my fucking Coca-Cola act. The first one just didn't dye right (I posted a photo of that). The second one was slightly too big and the magnets didn't hold. And third just plain fell apart. So Saturday, on my way to the first show, I stopped by Target and Old Navy to no avail. But then I texted my friend Andi, who works at the amazing New York Exchange, to see if they ...

Before and After

Tonight I'm off to DJ a spooky Lovecraftian event in Seattle. So about an hour and a half ago I set about to straighten my hair, watch a few YouTube videos on "TradGoth Makeup", then went about applying said makeup. I'm glad I set aside time to get this done, because I had to completely wipe clean my eyes and redo them at least once. It occurs to me too late that my only current foundations are for stage and model work and that I ...

Totally Not a Body

Tonight is 'Murica, the first of two 4th of July themed shows I'm doing this week. I'm brushing off an old act and was going to dye a cute skirt I found red to be a Coca Cola girl. Unfortunately, the dye didn't produce the color I want so now I get to go to Joanns and buy fabric to just make one! Wheee. Also on my to do list is get my Brows waxed (ouch) and pick up Ice Cream (yay!). Mental note to self to arrive early tonight so I...

Evil Nipple

I can't share this picture on facebook because the dreaded female nipple is exposed (*GASP!*). Sorry folks, looks like this picture is just for you. Thanks for subscribing to my Patreon. :)Photography and dress by Bismuth Clothing Co

Bismuth

Have I mentioned yet how much I love Bismuth? Last year for the SEAF Seduction Party, I told Tuesday (the lady behind the clothes) that I wanted to be "In Charge" for Halloween and she made me a phenomenal strap dress with a pentagram harness in front. That dress sparked a whole series that she sells, ranging from club dresses to just the harnesses. Some of you remember I posted some behind-the-scenes pics of me in this tub, which was ful...

Realization

It's 1 AM and I just had the realization that once a month I spend money on getting my nails done rather than having my lady-bits waxed because it's much easier to work around having unkempt bush/only dealing with the pain of razorburn when it is worth my time than to work around messy or chipped nails. Not saying this is good or bad, just a epiphany I had. Back to work I go! I've got a first draft of a poster I have to get together...

I'm totally not ready for Pride. Do I march with the Goths or the Burlesque people? What about some third option that I don't know exists yet? The fuck should I wear? I need to get posters for the show on Sunday. Then I need to walk around Cap Hill and post them. Fuck, I need to get tech notes together for Sunday. Fuck! I need to do the online promo for today for Sunday. FUCK! I need to make sure my feather fans are in good shape and ...

Preperation

Tomorrow I'm going to post a cute and sexy selfie. It will be essentially a preview/promotional image for next month's Patreon-exclusive images. Tonight we did the shoot itself, and it was fun but it was also a lot of hard work. My day started with a process of self maintenance that goes into such shoots. Once I heard the advice "groom like it's your honeymoon" in reference to models before a shoot. This was damn good advice. ...

Anna's Birthday!

It's Anna's birthday! For three years in a row, I've performed at her birthday party and it's always AWESOME! She's a super rad person and I'm always happy to see her and it makes me extra happy to be a part of her celebrations. She was one of the first people to sign up for my Patreon and definitely deserves all the booty.

NSFW

Aaand here's some Patreon-exclusive, NSFW behind the scenes selfies of me in a harness and a bathtub.

There's so much I want to talk about and so much I need to talk about - Orlando, Portland, Columbia City Theater, my own emotional health, the list goes on. But I'm already overwhelmed with my to do list and currently at a product shoot for Bismuth Clothing Co so as a placeholder (because I tell myself I have to post *something*), here are some pictures of me behind the scenes doing that. I promise both you and myself that a long blog pos...

DJ Jades

No set list from last night because it was all request and DJ Jades did most of the actual spinning. So let's take a moment and appreciate this man. He has been with me since the start of my career as Morgue Anne. While our relationship has evolved into many different forms over the years, we've always worked great together and maintained a working relationship. He is the one who taught me how to DJ and he constantly pushes me to improve...
