I first met Lily last October at the Richmond Institute of Burlesques at Norfolk grand opening show.

It was my very first burlesque show and I was beyond excited!

Since I was an awkward pre-teen I have always been fascinated with Burlesques and Pin Up style. I would spend hours on end in middle school looking at different models and performers amazed by their costumes, their makeup, but mostly, their confidence. I went through an extremely awkward phase (which I’m still not out of 😉 ) and I was mesmerized by the beauty and sexiness that these ladies exuded.

When I took the Burlesques Basics class last December I had no idea that I would end up confident enough to twirl tassels on my boobies topless in front of a group of women 🙂 But Lily brought out the confidence in myself that I never thought I had.

Lily is plain stunning. She is gorgeous, and confident, and she has an infectious personality!

I had been dying to shoot her and I am so happy that I finally had the chance!

Here are a few teasers from her session with me.

Next month the Norfolk Institute of Burlesques will be putting on an amazing show with a tribute to all things Batman!

On October 12th and 13th I invite you to join me as I watch the lovely ladies work their magic on stage!

Lily Liqueur will be performing as Harley Quinn.

She made that Harley Quinn hood herself and it is so awesome!

She definitely got into character during our shoot, so I just know she is going to kill it on stage!
