On Sunday night, I had the distinct pleasure of photographing the latest event/show/extravaganza from Toronto’s premier nouveau burlesque troupe, Les Coquettes.

My gorgeous new friend Catherine, one of the troupe’s founding members, invited me to photograph their holiday presentation, A Winter’s Tail, at the Revival in Toronto’s Little Italy. Built on the grounds of an old Baptist church, it seemed like the perfect place for a bit of bawdry Sunday night fun!
