You may remember the jungle shoot from about a month back?

(post production by me)
Do check out the whole series over at our BITTY-BLOG!
And you can see the new IBTC-crew perform together for the first time tonight at Kokonut Kult's Demon Night in Kokomo! And a bunch of other great performers so some might say this'd be an event one would not want to miss...
My friends Onyxei and Helmut in other words Atelieri O.Haapala have done it again; a set of totally amazing photos shot at the Champagne Circus last month! An event which I could not attend and thus did I not get myself a circus themed portrait. Which is a pity very very much indeed. Sigh.
In the photo above you can see the photographers posing themselves. Fabulous ain't it? See the whole set on their Flickr.
You can see some earlier works of the duo under my Atelieri-tag.
Some time ago Vera De Vil I had the pleasure of doing an oriental inspired shoot with Kaylin Idora while she was here from New Orelans!
You can view the whole set here.
And, speaking of New Orelans, as some of you know I will be going there this summer! Trahsy Diva live shopping, yey!
I will also visit Austin and Miami, at least. But most of all; Las Vegas! As many of you also know already that is beacuse The Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret will be performing at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in June!
...and whilst speaking of burlesque again, the Itty-Bitty Tease has some new times ahead after Vegas and it's official today: you can read about the changes in our Bitty-blog!
But, back to the pictures; Tinker Bell also did a rather magical outdoor shoot with Kaylin, the set can be seen here.
Our second group shot from the Helsinki Burlesque Festival by Atelieri O.Haapala; The Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret's wild evil tigresses. We look pretty well tamed in the picture though...
You can view all portraits on Atelieri's flickr.
One of our group shots from the Ateileri shooting at the Helsinki Burlesque Festival (as you could see in the video) earlier this month; The Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret : Surfin' Bird.
The Helsinki Burlesque Festival 2011 started today with the opening of Kerttu Malinens burlesque themed photo exhibition. She has been taking pictures on and off stage, backstage and on various locations for a couple of years. 
The exhibition is at Jukka Male museo in Kaapeli.

Me and me! From this shoot.
Fiona and I were both wearing lots of glitter and sparkle.
And she was also wearing a hat of her own design, of course. I wore a vintage gold lamé dress that I got form my grandmother. And my sparkling shoes too, may I add. Like I said, lots of sparkle.
There are so many amazing photos, so I really recommend stopping by!
The exhibition is open from 30.1 to 27.2, nine to nine daily.
The master herself.
The result of the Atelieri shoot a month back, inspired by erotic photographs from the early 1900s (my hand however modestifying the photo a bit, for internet's sake..).
These can be seen along with the rest of the series at the "Alice in Wonderland"- exhibition about contemporary photography at Logomo in Turku, as part of the design capital 2011 happenings.
The exhibition will open on Friday and run until December.
I've had a weekend filled with photo shoots and also managed to sneak a show in between. Now it's time to sleep a bit, phew!
First we had an shoot with the oh-so-magnificent Atelieri O.Haapala, inspired by old erotic postcards.
Jackie mesmerizes backstage -and I have rubber arms as usual.

Today (or, yesterday by now I guess) we had an amazing late night water shoot in Yrjönkadun uimahalli with amazingly talented photographer Kerttu Malinen, who we will work with some more later on too.
Afterwards. Very wet.
Camera covering very glitter-heavy eyelids.
There will be a third fabulous shoot now on Monday night, butI think I will have to let vanity loose and family win and celebrate the Indepedence evening at home with Eddi and his boys.

You can see more pictures from the shoot over at the Itty-Bitty Tease blog!
Seems like everything my friends Saara and Marco (newlywed btw ♥) touch, or, to be more exact; photograph, turns to gold - I just love the new photos from their Atelieri O.Haapala project! 
Although in this case, sideshow- and burlesque performer Missy Macabre is pretty fabulous herself already...

I really enjoy browsing the Life galleries from time to time. Not that I am the kind of person who goes bazookas over a photo just because it's old and it's vintage, but they do have some fine sets of those, as well as newer ones, often with interesting captions or stories.
Dum du dum dum, it's all nice and calm but then uh-oh it happens: the attack of the 50ft woman!
The inspiration was of course this film, or more accurately; film poster:
You can catch the same number tonight at Helsinki Vintage opening club! And later at LeBonk October 1st and at Blues Trash Cabaret (at On The Rocks) on October 9th.

(Google tells me the 50ft woman also has an attacking baby! I can't tell if it's disturbing or sweet :)
"Oh, tires!"
Tomorrow, on Friday night, it's time for the first Helsinki Cruising Club at Nosturi.
It will really be a great happening but I mostly just feel like sleeping backstage until my turn is up; I've been going to work at 6:AM, then renovating after that, coming home late after which I've worked on a commission until midnight. Every day, the whole week. Needless to say, I am so very tired. I'm going to have to pin curl my hair and glue some sequins that've fallen off back on my outfit in between the ships at work tomorrow. Oh oh oh.
But then again I really want to try and stay awake before my show too as I want to catch the bands; Rob Coffinshaker (from the coffinshakers), The Barnshakers and Kim Lenz & Nick Curran.
Damn work, it calls at Saturday morning too.
But back to the cars, here are some of our car inspired pictures from the Cruising shoot to get you in the mood. (Set up-and behind the scenes pictures were to be seen here as you may remember).
The pictures are taken by Marko Saari. 
Lola.
Vera.
Tinker Bell.
Jackie.
We should make some "The Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret-cards: Collect Them All!" don't you think?
