Canadian pinup and burlesque muse, Força!

Good week to all of you, and it does appear to be a good week. Lots happenings in our blockchain space as we flirt with new realities of a potential bull run. My friend @mada is my most cynical of market analysts and even he said “Yeah. It looks like it’s about to happen.”. We’ll see, but after the last couple of years, I’m hopeful to see broad adoptions. Many of my close friends have poured their hearts, lives and savings in to carious blockchain projects, including STEEM. They deserve to reap the rewards of that labor.

I have some new work to share, and when I say “new”, I really mean new! During Viva Las Vegas, I shot with a beautiful Canadian pinup named Força. She’d reached out to me just before the Rockabilly Weekend and I was trying to move heaven and earth to make time to work with her. With a last minute Viva Las Vegas cancelation, I was able to find a small window of a few hours Friday night. It worked out for both of us, as we had commitments Saturday night. Did I mention Força is an incredible burlesque dancer as well?

We met Friday evening in the lobby of The Artisan Hotel. My previous shoot ran late and Força was slightly early. These are the scheduling conundrums you can’t avoid during Viva Las Vegas. I used to try and control times, locations, clients, travel, etc. In my nature to be control freak at times. Over the years, during Viva week, I just let it go. Whatever happens, happens. Fortunately, Força and my other earlier client were very understanding. I thought about the amount of clients, time and hours we had to make this work.

As it turned out, it was a repeat of two shoots I had during Viva Las Vegas the previous year. Lucy Fur and Luci Lux, in tandem, shooting 30 minutes with each of them, alternating between both ladies. It worked. Some of Força’s wardrobe was over the top. Fetish boots that easily took 30 minutes to lace on their own. The time I was shooting with Força, she was incredible. Such a presence of her body. It’s something I see often with burlesque performers that’ve mastered the art of the tease.

There are more photos of Força to come. These are just the teasers. I am excited to be getting to photos from April already. I mentioned recently that I’m trying an alternating schedule, with clients I’ve owed for far too long, and more recent clients so they don’t feel the pain of my backlog. I think it’s working, and it’s exciting for me to be cutting through photos from my most recent trips. Thanks for reading.
