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. :)

Shredded t-shirt and some serious boots

I'm sorry I didn't post this earlier. I was just too busy and stressed out with my last weeks and days at work and having a nasty ass flu. But hey, work's done (unfortunately, I really enjoyed it there) and flu's history and it's possible to think about other styff again! Although I'm moving out of my flat tomorrow to a friends place to run away from a huge renovation (piping stuff) at my place.

Aaanywayy, here are the pics we took with Markus the same time we took the pink leopard dress -pics. I was seriously expecting a maybe 3 hour shoot and was totally surprised when we finished after much less time. Markus's comment on this was something like "Yeah, I thought so, with you it's so easy, we can just shoot". :D Awesome. ^^

The pics now. Yo can also check them here on Markus' website. There are a couple of pics that aren't here.

I like this set so much that I couldn't choose just three or four photos. So here are seven of my faves.

The t-shirt is (obviously) self-shredded by me. The idea is from OutsaPop Trashion (eg. here, here and here). I got so carried away with the shredding that I wasn't paying much attention to what is the end product going to look like. x) Therefore the almost entire shirt is shredded. But it's awesome to make! Only thing is you might get a bit of runny nose from all the fabric dust.

I can assure you being a model isn't always the easiest job. After this photoshoot my whole body was aching! My muscles were sore from the poses. You need to have tension in your body to be able to stay in the poses and also the rounded hole I was sitting in was a bit of a challenge. Might be due to lack of modelling - aaaand the fact that I was getting the flu. But yeah, to be able to model, a little muscle is good for you.

At the end of the day I love the feeling after a photoshoot: I've given my all, I'm a bit dirty from touching dirty walls or the ground, feet hurting from the crazy shoes, and happy and excited to see the outcome. Also it's fun to hang out with the photographers - especially the ones I've worked with gazillion times, it's like hanging out with an old friend.

And to tease you a bit with what's to expect here in the near future is a latex fashion show early September, and most likely there will be pictures.

Leopard print

Here we go! Pics by Markus Lehto. You can check out the whole set on his website here.

Notice my new glasses? I love them. :) Also, I must say, all my clothes are drifted - so it does not mean lots of expenses to style yourself for photoshoots. The socks I ripped just before the shoot when I realised they were broken and that din't look too good. So I decided to give them some ripping action to break them so much they wouldn't look broken anymore.

Sooo, whacha think? :3

Ps. I had an outfit - and location - change during the shoot and that part is coming up asap!

Cameron Russell making a point (or several)

I just wanted you all to see this because I found this talk so awesome. In case you didn't know (I sure didn't) Cameron Russell is an American model, who's apparently done lots of lingerie and swim wear.

Watch this! Seriously.

Ps. I did a photoshoot this Saturday with Markus Lehto. So there'll be pics soon! ^^ I'm so excited! Oh and they're gonna be haaaaawt as hell!

Hey, by clicking the link above, you are now able to follow me via Bloglovin!

Hey, I think I might be back

Very promising title on this one, right? :D I think now that I got my life somewhat sorted out I'm in need of a hobby. A serious leisure you might call it (or as Robert A. Stebbins might). Soooo, I thought why not revive this blog as well. This works as a some sort of portfolio. I might update my other portfolios as well. I'm not even sure if my ModelMayhem account is in function any more.

Anyway. Earlier this Spring I did an impromptu photoshoot with Nadi Hammouda. It actually felt more like I just went to hang out with an old friend than a photoshoot. I'm not sure which I missed more, him or modelling. :D Although we did some serious shooting. It was interesting to see what would come out of it. Nadi was awesome as usual. He told me I looked different. I mean, not in the sense you would notice from outside just looking at me, but rather something he saw thrugh the lense. And I was totally feeling it. I'm in sooooo different point in life right now - it must show in the pictures! Also, I wasn't posing as much - after all, I was just hanging out with a friend!

Okay, I am willing to do photoshoots again. I'm not promising anyhting though. Maybe it doesnt's work, maybe I cannot do it anymore (doubt it though). Maybe I cannot find photographers to work with me. At least, don't expect to see as many updates as there were before. There's no way I'm able to do as many photshoots as I was before.

And hey, is there anyone following me anymore?! :D

Hei tyypit...

jos teitä kiinnostaa, ni mulla on toinenkin blogi, jossa siis lähinnä avaudun kaikesta ja pähkäilen mun tylsää elämää. :D Täällä.

Only in Finnish, cos I'm advertising my Finnish blog - nothing to do with modelling.
