The best way to get the fierce, jeweled and glammed up pieces however, is still and always will be, to do it yourself. The majority of burlesque entertainers I have the pleasure of knowing make their own outfits by piecing together things you wouldn't even think of. From mardi gras beads to clearing out the rhinestones in any store, they convert a normal pair of panties or a bustier to amazing. These ladies are awesome. One of the fabulous ladies I get to play-i mean work-with, is the always show stopping, Franki Markstone.
I have been following Franki for a year or so on social media, and reached out recently to photograph her, and she said let's go! So we did. Simple as that really. She came over and drank coffee and got dolled up and rocked it. That part is pretty obvious though right. Here are a few of my favorites from our first shoot together-yes, there will be more-we have crazy ideas together! Follow the link below to see her gallery of images. *swoon*
To see more Franki, Click Here. You can follow her wild and crazy shenanigans on Instagram and Facebook of course, and find out where you can find her. She is always performing somewhere in the Tampa Bay and Orlando areas! Do come back for more Franki-we have more in store-this was just a tease!
