Cannibalistic cupid: Love is...

Some great images from Lolita Lush's Gorlesque show which happened on the 28th October just in time for Halloween! They don't depict the climax of the narrative, but I'll tell you now it got appropriately gory when things turned nasty for ol red winged Death... As far as the audience was concerned I was eating a real heart, from a cow or something. Awesomely effective heart cake courtesy of Siobhán and Epiphany DeMeanour who appears here as Death itself. Believe me, being embraced in her inspired Isis wing-costume was highly evocative. There were a few technical hitches, and naughty Kate Turner snapped me doing my quick change behind Epiphany's cloak... erp! Cheeky photographers!

I'm noticing I have very elongated hands and feet. What Mother has called 'Italian toes'. I think I look like an amphibian in these images, an oceanic human-hybrid. The Italian-toed, feather-winged Cupid fish. Hah.

Rainbow o'Love(Cats)!

The Lovecats' biggest show to date was, as you can see, pretty bloody good! Their twee antics were captured by Kate Turner's excellent camera-eye, producing some of the best live shots I've seen since Rick Taylor's images of Burlectro in the early days of that show.

I was going to write all these thoughts I am having on photography, but I'm going to save that. Last night at the Shazwanda show, my ecclesiastical nipple tassels fell off. Betty Buzz Killer! Good show though, of course! I'm a perfectionist, with and without nipple tassels.
