Leather & Suede
I always rely on my uncle's faux leather jacket
when all else seems to fail. Sometimes I am so
excited to get photoshooting, and then realising
I have absolutely no theme to go on. Then I pull
out the trusty jacket:

Big Love & Respect: Latrice Royale & Manila Luzon
These fierce queens teamed up and made the dance
anthem 'The Chop' and I is IN LOVE! Latrice is
bodacious and larger than life, gorgeous and voluptuous.
Manila is smoking, sexy, sleek and her voice gets me all
excited.
Here is The Chop:
Memoirs of a... (Work In Progress)
This is a sneak into my Oriental shoot I did named
Memoirs Of A Gay-sha.
The first item was a Chinese umbrella which I found at
work, packed away at the back of the decorations store room.
This made me thought of the Chinese ensembles my aunt
had in storage and decided to do a shoot, honouring not only
my roots (I have Chinese blood, from my father's mother), but
also to honour my above-mentioned grandmother.
Watch this space for Memoirs Of A Gay-sha
The Amazing, The Talented, Miss Sharon Needles
This is one talented, kick ass bitch which I adore
for her tenacity, her unique strike in this world,
her creative and ghoulish imagination and distinct
style. I have mad respect for what she stands for,
and I take personal inspiration for that, both as in
individual, and as an artist.
This is her music video for "This Club Is A Haunted House"
and I had so many different emotional reactions to this, some
physical too ;D
The intro also includes the Amazing matriarch of Queens,
RuPaul, and takes a spin on her own song "Supermodel (You Better Work)".
Sharon also released her debut full length album the same day as the music video,
titled "PG-13"
Enjoy!!
Adam & his Weed

Three
As all things celebrated best in 3, I decided to do a trilogy of shoots for the
weekend of my birthday, with Twenty Five being the first instalment. I now
present to you the second installment taken on the 29th of December, named '3'.
This shoot is also the second shoot inspired by a photo a dear
friend recommended I take inspiration from, therefor the name 3 takes
on a personal aspect as well.
Ringing out 2012, welcoming 2013!
As 2012 closed out on us, I decided to do a little twitter
massacre of the best of 2012 for me, counting down 50
events and photos taken that made 2012 amazing for me.
Here's a sneak peak of that little countdown:
Number 1: The birth of our gorgeous niece, Amora-Leigh
Number 10: The birth of Chianti Capri, alter ego of one of my besties, Riaan.
As they say, you're born naked, the rest is drag!
Number 14: Playing with flour. I re imagined a previous shoot and thought, I can
do this better this time around. I nailed it!
Number 17: Started playing with double imagery. The possibilities were
endless. And some were quite comedic too!
Number 22: The photo warms my heart. As much as I wanted
to realise this photoshoot with a partner, it was not to be. But I realised
it nonetheless and it came out amazing.
Number 26: A liberating shoot, Dorian Kyle was realised, my ass-kicking,
name-taking, fabulous alter ego. I had fun with her, and often he
tries to get out.
Number 4: My soul sisters, Antonia (L) and Katy(R).
These girls got my back and I got theirs. We are 'The Divas' ;D
Number 42: Particularly adore this photo shoot. It's one of
those shoots where the intention and outcome are complete opposite
things. The ensemble around my neck was initially meant to be
a facial mask, but proved to be quite disastrous. Flip of a switch
and it turned out the be the best floral accessory for a shoot ;D
Number 43: The inspiration for this shoot was taken from Lady Gaga's
perfume advert. This shoot proved to be quite tricky, and all the more
reason to love the outcome of it.
Number 47: Another shoot that has intention & outcome all mixed up.
That is infact a bow tie. ;D
Number 5: This shoot was proved quite a personal feat for me.
Having lost weight through diet and exercise, with this shoot
I finally felt comfortable baring myself. Liberating and freeing.
Number 50: Inspired heavily by Florence + The Machine ever
since they released their sophmore album Ceremonials, this shoot was
inspired by their song 'Breaking Down'. Most of my shoots
there after followed in the theme of dark, mysterious and mischievousness.
Number 7: My best friend Marc, (R) and his friend Tanya. Amazing
time well spent in February. Can't wait to do it alllll again ;D
Twenty Five
Something that I have always made sure celebrating is
my birthday. Twenty Five marks 25 years of existence.
25 years of passion, creativity and growth.
25 years of expression, understanding, and breaking boundaries.
I present to you, Twenty Five:
An eclectic visual of who I am. I am free, I am fun.
I love to laugh. I am Twenty Five.
