Les Coquettes: First Bite

November 12, 2010

I’ve been shooting with Les Coquettes for almost two years now, but speaking as a fan, our annual Halloween show is not to be missed. This year was no exception, and we extended the fun and nakedness across four performances on two nights. Enjoy some highlights from the show below, and if you like what you see, don’t forget to come out for the Christmas spectacular — The War On Christmas — on December 12th at Revival.

Our fans are the greatest and many of them arrived for the festivities in full costume:

On Saturday night, my friend Erika (seen here previously) asked me to come out and photograph the launch party for The Lemon Life. Post-grad life with a twist, as their slogan goes.

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 first introduction into the world of burlesque came during Toronto’s 2007 Luminato festival, with a presentation called the Spiegelshow (see slideshow on Flickr) — so good that I saw it three times during the course of its run.

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!

Check out a review of the show here, and join the Les Coquettes Facebook group! The next show is February 22nd, and I expect all of you to be there!
