Take Me To Church!

I hope you're all enjoying the summer, and that the weather isn't too bad for you, wherever you live in this world! Here in Sweden it's been far too cold to resemble summer so far, but now it's finally starting to look a bit better! I'm right now on a three week vacation from my "normal" part-time job, which means I have time to work with other things, and managed to book four photo shoots. Why rest when you can be creative? Haha! Still trying to relax a bit, read a few books, and see some neglected friends though. So if I only do two - instead of my normal three - blog posts a week sometimes it's just because I need some rest, and time to do other things, for a few weeks. Y'all shouldn't be inside reading blogs during the summer anyway! Haha! But thank you so much for reading mine! If no one read it, there wouldn't be any reason for me spending so much time writing it you know...

So today I have a wonderful video for you! The video is made to Hozier's Take Me To Church, is directed by David LaChapelle, and features Ukrainian born ballet dancer Sergei Polunin. This man isn't just an amazing ballet dancer, he's also a tattooed ballet dancer! This isn't something you see so often, as tattoos aren't that popular in the ballet world. It wasn't until I broke myself and realized I would never be able to have a "real" dance career, that I started getting my own tattoos. So, here it is. Enjoy!

PS. This dancer can take me to church any time! Hehe...

Full Moon

And so the moon has reached it's fullness once more! The full moon music I'll give you this time is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins. I haven't listened to them so much, but my landlady Fanny plays their music around the apartment sometimes, and they are really good! She introduced me to a song - and it's video - called Stand Inside Your Love. So here it comes, together with the video, which is beautiful!

Arabian Nights

So. Remember I promised you a video of my burlesque performance at last weekends Burleskloppis 5.0. I did my Arabian Nights number, which - as the name tells you - is inspired by the book Arabian Nights. The music I use is called Beauty Beats, by the band Beats Antique. I end my act by calling out the "genie" from an Aladdin lamp, which comes out in the shape of golden glitter that I pour over myself. During this performance I wasn't allowed to use glitter though, so I went with tiny golden, star shaped sequins instead. But that worked fine too! Fanny captured my performance with my iPhone, and here it is! Need to get good studio videos of my numbers some time though...

Two Times Dita

Since I showed you my new lingerie from Dita von Teese's Von Follies collection yesterday, I thought it was a good idea to follow it by showing you a video where Dita herself models the new collection for this line of lingerie! Here it is!

But since the band Monarchy just released a video with their collaboration with Dita for their song Disintegration, I decided to throw that one into today's post too! Enjoy!
