This past Saturday I staged the sexiest game of Clue to ever be played. The entire event was art directed & photographed by yours truly for the 2013 Northbound Leather Catalogue. The cast was composed of Swedish webcam amazon Skyler, boss lady Laura Martini, porn star Casey Calvert, Chanele the Lolita, exotic beauty model Jessie Y., Grace Jones’ and Tyson Beckford’s chanteuse love child Peter, gentle blue-eyed bear Cal, our angular twink Andrew, & cut personal trainer Brandon. Lord Morpheous, author of “How to Be Kinky” & “How to Be Kinkier,” opened the doors of his impressive penthouse with a panoramic view for the shoot. My awesome beauty team (Bronwen Weiderick & Amber Fairlie of The Manor Salon) exceeded all expectations true to form and I couldn’t do it without them. Oh, and that’s George, the owner of Northbound, down in the front there. I think he had a bit of fun too. I am very excited to get the catalogue printed and show off the scintillating scenarios we staged in stunning light. Stay tuned! xo
Dorothy called me up a few months back looking for a boudoir shoot. We set the date and made some real photo magic. Dorothy was a natural model and I fell in love with her fierce yet innocent attitude, sharp cheekbones and unreal proportions. I added her to my model roster and Kingpin Chic hired her to pose for their calendar as Ms. May! It is simply the best when that happens. The photo pictured here is an excerpt from the shoot that was too good to be left unseen. So here she is and the real thing is yet to come. Look out for her May 1st. Enjoy!

Our team from The Manor Salon participated in the L’Oreal Colour Trophy Sem-Finals yesterday. We were the youngest team from the smallest salon there and felt honoured to be chosen as one of Ontario’s best. We left the show as runners up feeling like we had just been privy to the making of Zoolander 2. It was a hilarious day with fantastic hors d’ouvres and plenty of people watching. Our model, Natalie Sirianni, managed to look effortlessly stunning after being forced to stand for approximately eight hours straight in heels without heating, food or drink backstage. Sonia Anjos and Ambler Fairlie of The Manor Salon created a soft, short, blonde ombre hair style that fit well with the show’s Retro Spring trend. Bronwen Weiderick worked her make-up magic with Natalie’s face in her usual expert way. Take a look at our winning photo above and a sneak peek at the show itself.
