Android in Latex

I start modelling again and boom I'm head to toes in latex yet again. :D Literally this time. I was in a show for Latex by Tiina Rikala (website, Facebook). The show took place in a fetish ball here in Tampere where I now live. So it was an easy and hassle-free gig for me. I was ready before the others (no much need for make up) and we had plenty of time to have a nice photoshoot with Sami Maanpää before the show. Somewhat of a challenge to shoot when you cannot see or hear the photographer (the head piece) and you're covered in a shiny suit (the light). :D

I fell in love with that top! I'm sooo happy I got it just before another photoshoot.. cos it was just perfect for that too. Also it fits me perfectly and because of its shape it's super comfortable. ^^ I love the cut too. A friend commented surprised that it's not as sexy as she'd thought (she did not see it on me though;)!). I know. Though she's wrong: this is sexy. It's super hot and it also makes me feel like I'm a super hero. You don't need to show cleavage to be hot y'know. Aaaand a bit of androgyny nevere hurt no one, right. :3 Hm, is a model allowed to praise a piece of clothing this much? :D

Oh and my role on the show was sort of an android-killer -thingy. Tiina's shows are never just your plain walk up and down the runway, more of a show really. :)

Purple latex

A couple of weeks ago we did a roadtrip in my friends' van to Tampere to do a latex show with Tiina Rikala in Tampere Fetish Factory -event. It was fun as always. :D Tiina often has her friends over to do the show and I must say she sure has a good taste in friends. :D I love meeting new people and having fun after the show at the party. Tiina's shows are also never (at least when I've been there) the usual kin of runway-shows, but involve a plot and some sort of storyline. This time we had a sircus theme going on with ringmaster leading the show, clown in a straitjacket on a wheelchair dancing with a more cheerful n' cute clown, lion tamer - who didn't manage to tame the lioness all that well - and a sexy burlesque finale. My role with another girl was to be some kind of a doll or circus princess (no brains lookin cute and waving a rhythmic gymnastics ribbon) :D hehee. I guess if it as possible we'd danced on a rope, but obviously not, so we had the ribbons instead. I wish I had pictures of the whole group, but I only got some of me taken in studio setting - and sadly without the awesome ribbon. :( Luckily I got to keep the ribbon. It's so much fun! :D

Yeah yeah, blaablaa, gimme the pics already! These are pretty much un-edited raw pics taken by the owner of the van and fellow model of the show, the lion tamer (the lion being his girlfriend), Sami Maanpää (his Flickr). Oh btw, he's also the dude that cuts my hair. :D A multitalent I guess (also a musician, here's his band!). x)

We took these pics in a bit of a hurry. It's too bad we never have the proper time to do the photoshoot. It's always so hectic before the show: everybody getting dressed, doing hair and make up to themselves and to eachother.. I did my make up myself. Tiina gave me the huge eyelashes and attached some rhinestones to my temples. I love the dress. I love purple and the cut is so awesome!
