Vegas photoshoot… 6 months ago 3

OK WELL I WOKE. UP AT 3.30am AGAIN, SO DEFINITELY NOT FULLY RESTED.

You know, when life gives you lemons, make some fuckin’ lemonade, you know? The sun’s up, so let’s utilise the early morning light while we have it.

Lacy. A lace-trim tank and some lacy undies are doing a lot of heavy lifting here (not to brag or anything). I don’t love how my makeup turned out, but overall, I ain’t mad. Wait, didn’t. I say I came into this with concepts to execute, and the same old shit? Let’s do some of that again.

Shit yeah.

The original plan for the ribbons was to tie myself up somehow, like I was a hostage in some weirdo late-night-channel-4 art movie. Instead, a few things became quickly apparent – I’m no shibari-expert (or novice!) and don’t know anything about knots, if I tie up my legs I have to hop around in heels if the framing isn’t right, and if I do need to move, the ribbon loosens up and falls to the floor anyway. Tying a few bits around my wrists, and pooling the rest on the floor alongside a pink feather boa I had on hand, in a sparkly skirt and some wine glasses made it look like the messy results. ofa wild night. Good enough, especially for 8.45am.

Let’s try something else – there’s some cool shadows coming in from the window, I wonder what we can do with that?

These turned out super nice, though you can see my disappointment at the room – overall largely boring, but I managed to get some good usage from it.

I don’t think I mentioned the shoes – I got these on sale from Charlotte Stone – socks from Sock Candy. Blazer from Wildfang. I’m not sponsored – that’d be cool though, but sponsorship deals probably mean work and I’ve got enough shit to do. Anyway here’s another dress from Nooworks, and boots from Thursday Boot Company – who would’ve thought My Weekend Shoes would be wearing weekday boots? ok stupid joke, moving on…

I’m no supermodel. Posing is hard – in hindsight, it’s easy to say “Well don’t put your whole back against the door! Arch, arch!” but alas here we are. Let’s try some classic bed shots I guess.

Ok enough of that, it’s underwear time. I have fallen in love with Thistle and Spire – I’ve got at least… 4 pieces from them? Maybe more? I’ve lost count, honestly.

That blue bodysuit is crazy, right? I love this next black one too – the skirt is a random mesh thing I got from amazon, but it worked so well with the mesh arms of the bodysuit.

While trying to piece together the timeline of this post, I found a couple more photos of this outfit that I didn’t even know I had! Check out the one on the floor, pretty sweet, even if I do say so myself.,

I was going to say “It’s getting late at this point!” but it’s not, it’s 11.30am. I’m starting to run on empty though, since I’ve been up for 8 hours already – I’ve got one last idea in my head, so let’s see what we can do. Random bits of lingerie, engage!

I often have to remind myself to not look too closely at these pictures, because I will find something to be sad about. Maybe it’s the pose being a little off, or my makeup not being perfect, or my obviously masculine body or my weight or my stomach or …etc etc. No one else is looking at these photos the way I am, with my inner critic dial turned to eleven. (Generally I hope people will look at these pictures and think “whoa she looks stunning and cool and pretty!” WITH NO FURTHER THOUGHTS THANK YOU VERY MUCH). A big part of what I hope to accomplish in 2026 is going to be geared towards making my brain quieter, and allowing myself to do things, instead of obsessing about how and when and to do things and other people’s perceptions of them. I’m hopeful to find a little more joy and a lot less mental load. Fingers crossed.

Ok time to eat! The main part of the photoshoot is over at this point, but I’ve still got a cellph..err, my mobile.

Back to the hotel room now, it’s 2pm, but I’m exhausted. The rest of the day is going to be me sitting in bed, taking a bath, looking through pictures, and hopefully getting some real sleep before I get home. But one last selfie before all that.

Until next time, bishes!
