When you're- with Anita- have a yabba-dabba-doo time!

I can't believe I didn't blog my cavegirl pictures yet :o

I've been wanting to do a retro cavegirl shoot inspired by Wilma Flintstone, Raquel Welch in One Million Years BC and Bettie Page's leopard pin-ups with Bunny Yeagar for literally years so it was great to finally get around to doing it with Leather Lovers, Fabulously Fetish, Bareskin Beauty and Luci Alice at my Lux Studio Day in Maidstone!

Here are my inspiration images!

My next studio day is a combined studio, dungeon AND boudoir day with all the appropriate sets at Fine & Dan Dee Studio in Wokingham on Saturday 6 June, if any photographers reading this are interested :) There is only one shoot left. contact@anitadebauch.com.

I hope everyone had a fun Bank Holiday weekend. Mine was mostly spent either drinking champagne or sleeping, although I did find time earlier in the week for a heavy rubber shoot and a skincare infomercial.

I also managed to enjoy some of the weather over the weekend, including visiting a local C14th church tower and climbing all the way to the top of the roof. It was on the same day I heard the good news about Ireland voting in marriage equality, so it seemed very fitting to be standing on a church in the glorious sunshine!

Here are some new photos Luci Alice and I shot for Leather Lovers at Lux Studio, with Bareskin Beauty skincare. I love how big and juicy my butt looks in the back shot! I may be a size 8, but I still have curves!

I'm having a super time on the computer today, sharing new photos, answering emails about the many exciting publications/ covers/ new experiences I have coming up, booking hotels (or at least I will be when hotels.com starts working again, grr), planning a trip to Scotland that I hope will include time to visit Loch Ness and the Findhorn Gardens, and possibly sampling a vegetarian haggis!

Retro pin-up with fully fashioned nylon stockings and corset

Too tired to write a long blog today after spending the last 24 hours helping my 89 year-old grandmother move house. Phew! Remind me to send myself flowers tomorrow as well as her ;)

Here are some new old pictures from a shoot I did in London two years ago with Chris Gurry, who has only now been able to find time to edit them due to personal reasons. I think they were worth the wait, and it was really fun to unexpectedly find them in my inbox after forgetting they existed for so long!

 Love the effect on this one!^

Very flattering to learn that I've been named one of the top 40 alt models in the world by Sinical magazine in their annual poll. I always feel weird posting about things like this as I get shy about asking people to vote for me >.< but I thought I should mention this one as Sinical is quite a big/ well-known name in the "alt"/ fetish fashion modelling world. If you want to, you can vote every day 20 May - 20 June.

Now to throw some clothes and my toothbrush into my suitcase and drive to the other side of the country for a lingerie, satin and catfight fetish shoot tomorrow! Then on Thursday, I'll be driving from there to London for a couple of days for a meeting with the editor of Skin Two, a full day's shoot on Friday, and then seeing the Prodigy play until 3am at Ally Pally Friday night :D

Dark Beauty

One of my favourite magazines, Dark Beauty, has published a photo set I shot with Luci Alice on their website, >here< :)

It was shot at my last Lux Studio Day in Kent (the next one is Saturday 23 May, if any photographer would like to book the remaining slot) and I was thrilled to hear Luci say that it was some of her best work! She is a lighting master!

The leather armour/ harnesses are from Louise McKay, the latex leggings were custom-made by Lady Lucie, the boots are from Fabulously Fetish and I believe Luci said the feathers were from Ann Summers! All my skincare was provided by Bareskin Beauty, and Luci was delighted at how little retouching there was to do (I take good care of my skin!).

I really like how my nipple looks in the last one, LOL. It almost looks like it's been painted on.

I think this is the first shoot I've done where more than one magazine wanted to publish it, but Dark Beauty got in there first! It was fun letting my inner teenage goth out to play, that's for sure. We were even listening to Marilyn Manson while we were shooting! (Sorry if you already saw this on Instagram/ Facebook!)

I think today will be spent dealing with the email mountain. I'm glad I spent all of yesterday reading in the garden with the cats, after my shoot was postponed last-minute, as the weather has gone back to grey and cooler today. I want to learn about how to identify common British/ Irish trees, and spring is supposed to be a good time to do it, but I'm going to wait for a sunnier day off to go walking ;)

Porta-model!

I love this fun new art nude piece by Tim Pile. We found this great old trunk on location that I just LOVED and had to climb around naked in :D I love glamorous luggage! Thanks to Bareskin Beauty, Tim didn't have to retouch my skin in Photoshop at all for this shot :)

I'm having a lovely time celebrating my first Beltane weekend. Glastonbury is certainly the place to be! I missed actual May Day as my love and I were both working, so I just read about some traditional Beltane celebrations in my Almanack. They're pretty steamy! There's one that involves all the men carving a huge phallus from a fallen tree. The women all kind of hump it and then it gets symbolically lowered into a special hole in the ground the women dug. Then they basically all have an orgy, from what I could tell. Gosh!

Yesterday, we went shopping in Glastonbury. The atmosphere was electric! I got a full body wax and bought myself some treats, including my favourite, raw chocolate, which is an aphrodisiac, and treated myself to an almond milk latte at La Terre.

Today's #Glastonbury #Beltane weekend haul! 💖😻💏👰💕💞🍬🍒🍸💋 #love #lovers #sex #romance #tantra #beltain #magick

The lady who ran the shop where I bought the incense and the book wished me a happy Beltane and said, "We have until Monday to misbehave."

I like to misbehave all year :) It's hard for people to feel free enough to act the way they want to all the time, I guess, which is probably why we assign certain days for certain things. I wish it was more of a taboo to hide your true nature than express it.

I think I'm going to make some scented candles today. I'm all out, except for little soy tealights. I like good lighting EVERYWHERE, not just at photo shoots, and candlelight is the most flattering of an evening :)
