June 29 2007: And now for the final installment from the Holdfast Clothing shoot I did last weekend with J Wilson! I had SO much fun after I found this sick axe at the shoot, I pretty much wouldn't put it down. We had a killer game of axe toss after the shoot too, I'm a very good shot! Check out my myspace for some candids from the shoot. It's the perfect photoshoot to get you in the mood for the long weekend, especially all you Victorians heading out to see hometown boys 3 Inches Of Blood at Sugar on Sunday night like I am! It's been a while since I've not been touring when they played here, so I'm very happy! June 27 2007: More new photos up from the Holdfast Clothing shoot I did this weekend with J Wilson!

I've got new photos up from a shoot I did this weekend with J Wilson for Holdfast Clothing! It's a little different than the usual pin-up style I do, but I had so much fun playing around with Cam Kallos' Buick Regal, that I'm sure you all will love it too.We took so many photos of their new designs that I have to break it up into three photosets, which I will be putting up over the next week or so, depending on how much spare time I have getting ready for my big show on Saturday and Pin-Up workshop on Sunday!

I was a busy pin-up this past week, doing interviews for the Times Colonist, and having articles about me in Monday Magazine and the Metropolitan, as well as having a tv crew from CH channel come to interview me for our pin-up workshop. We also managed to fit in a ton of photoshoots around town, including a few I shot of the other gals in the glorious heritage Empress Hotel!
