## Caption

From the archives, one from a series of photos taken by chasray. I believe these were taken when I was in Indianapolis on a #striptease tour in the late 90s. Chas has a thing for shooting models in time-capsule motel rooms and mine sure fit the bill! Burlesque wasn't always champagne and roses for me, I surely paid my dues on these tours with some of the accommodations...and don't get me started on the clubs! It was always a surprise, either a big fancy strip club or a dive bar at a truck stop...but honestly, I was always happy performing my little feather fan dances and opening people's minds up to #burlesque wherever I was. So anyway, on this day Chas brought in his signature #vintage 1960s-era table lamps, and those were the only lighting sources he lit me with. He brought a few props like this Walkman, and I think he shot some of the most interesting #pinups I've ever taken. Like always, I did my hair and makeup myself. These photos appeared on the covers of a couple fetish magazines, in my members area of dita.net and in Chaz's wonderful book #MotelFetish.
