Fantasy Fashion Show at Gallery 1313 for 2006.

For this flyer below the pic from the fashion show at Mocca gallery, painted by Menno Krant was used to put together the flyer. I am the one in red.

I remember innocently being in Kensington Market in the Hot Box Cafe, seeing the flyer on the bulletin board.

and saying oh, cool the flyer for the show in 2006 is here and then looking more closely at it and going, "oh my god that's me" It was an interesting, embarrassing experience one I didn't expect.

The flyer was apparently all over toronto on the street posts etc, to advertise the show.

These Pics are from the Planetary Fashion Dance show I participated in for Halo Halo Sa Toronto on Aug,23,2007.

This performance was rather interesting. It was fun to be body painted and to dance in front of a camera by Meow Films. That's right! This one was filmed by them and it will be shown on Dec,28th at the Fairview Library Theatre.

What I liked most about this one is the fact that everybody had their own unique style of dance wether it be grace or hardcore, it made the performances come together in a uniquely creative way I will never forget!

Fashion Show I modelled in for Artist Menno Krant at the Moca Art Gallery in 2005.



For this show I was body painted by Menno Krant. Before he painted us, he would read our auras and then paint us based on what he picked up. It was quite cool and very cool to be painted. I felt like I was in a body suit of creativity.



Here are some additional pics from other outfits by designers from this show:

Event listing I was in for participating in the Twisted Valentine Fashion Show at the Bluemoon Feb,14th,2004.

Now this was an amazing night to remember! I took part in a fashion show that happens every year called the Twisted Valentine Fashion Show. I modelled for Menno Krant who is a very creative artist.

I modelled a corset which he had created with his expertise of painting. And a piece of lingerie that he had also painted into his own distinct creation.

Here's the NOW Magazine Listing for this one: blue moon Twisted Valentine Show w/ Britt Besson (French chanteur), Les Singes Bleus (funk/pop), Jeff Hill (magician) & fashion show.

Event listing I was in in the NOW magazine as one of the Blood Orchids Dancer June,1,2006.

Rany Ly show cased her film and the Blood Orchids danced with the music of the film. From what I can remember the place was packed and people were astonished by the performance.

It was great to be a Blood Orchid dancer.

Memories of the Wen-do fundraiser (Stage Performance)

This event listing was for the dance team I created Fierce Foxy Fires that was featured in the Pride Guide for 2006 thanks to Bryen Dunn.

The event listing is for The Woman's Self Defense Fundraiser I got together for Bryen's event as well as the Awakening of the Spritual Goddess dance performance I wrote, directed, produced and participated in, at the Smiling Buddha Bar for June 21st 2006.

This listing I was in the NOW Magazine for the Dance Performance at the Smilling Buddha on June,21st,2006.

I feel like being in a listing is an accomplishment. It's not the fact of being in the listing but rather the accomplishment behind it that results in the listing.

If I hadn't have put on this performance at the Smiling Buddha and the Women's Self Defense fundraiser I would never have been listed in the NOW magazine.

The awakening of the Spiritual Goddess my own style Performance Script

This script I wrote and produced and directed it into a performance piece we performed at the Smiling Buddha Bar 961 College Street West, Toronto Ontario, on June, 21, 2006.

Brief of Perfomance:

It's about a spirtual goddess that get's corrupted by demons well trying to heal herself from her emotional pain. The demons are a part of her that she can't break free from. She yearns to break free from them but they end up being more powerful then her and destroy her spirit.

As a result, she weakens and the demons corrupt her. One by one the demons continue to suck all of her power out of her leaving her weak and lifeless. Helpless and not strong enough she tumbles to the ground and passes out.

Is this the end of her? Or will she be saved?

Song used for performance: Bring me back to Life by: Evenescense

Actual Script:

Characters: Zorg, Evil, Angel, Spirtual Goddess

Scene 1
It starts off with Spiritual goddess looking into the crystal ball trying to cure her evil spirits.

Scene 2
Then, Evil and Zorg come out and start to dance toward eachother facing the audience and when they reach eachother they together come towards me.

Scene 3
Then, they start pulling at me and shoving me from side to side.

They pull me off the chair and I fall to the floor. I try to save myself but they weaken me and I struggle to save myself.

Zorg and Evil hover over me and take all my energy away as I am on the floor and I pass out.

Zorg and Evil dance around me circling me.

The Angel comes out and scares Zorg and Evil away shooing them off me and attacking them. The Angel is more powerful then Zorg and Evil so she ends up winning.

Zorg and Evil discover they don't stand a chance against Angel and flee off stage.

Angel comes over to me and brings me back to life for she is very powerful, and we dance off stage happily.

The end

The girl behind the shadows my own style performance script

Important Info about my performance scripts: All my scripts I write are mainly based on life experiences.

The girl behind the shadows Brief

She stares into the empitiness feeling the fear creep up in her body. Just one second ago she was fine, feeling like she was a part of society and then all of a sudden, she feels closed in like all her power has been lost and she can’t regain it. She feels really out of it, as if something has taken over mind, her soul.

Then the shadow comes and hovers over her like a curse. She trys to get away from the dark shadow but is not strong enough that it keeps hovering getting bigger and bigger…

The girl behind the shadows is about, a girl who feels totally connected to the world to her self and then she starts to feel withdrawn, like the world is out to get her.

She is constantly in a battle to escape her shadow that ever so desperately try’s it’s best to take over her and destroy her spirit.

Can she escape? And will she break free from this evil curse for good?

The girl behind the shadows will have you on the edge of your seat, you don’t want to miss it!!


The girl behind the shadows actual script

1st Scene

2 people are sitting in chairs engaging with each other in a deep conversation.

1st person reaches over and touches her hand.

2nd person backs away and all of a sudden starts to feel disconnected from her and the world.

With this sudden personality change, she stumbles out of her chair and starts to back away from her friend with a look of fear on her face.

Her friend (1st person) get’s up and goes towards her having felt the shift in her energy, she try’s to reach out to her, try’s to comfort her.

The closer she comes to 2nd person the more she backs away in fear.

Her friend looks at her wondering what went wrong all of a sudden and doesn’t know what to do.

After trying again to get through to her again, her friend gives up and goes off stage.


Scene 2

Then the demon comes out and hovers over me like a dark curse representing my dark shadow.

I gasp with fear and try to get away from it but I can’t for the force is extremely strong and powerful.

I fall to the ground dragging myself on the floor. (WE DO A FLOOR DANCE PERFORMANCE WERE I TRY TO ESCAPE THE SHADOW)

After a while of fighting with my shadow and not succeeding, I clutch myself on the ground in desperate need to escape.

I SAY OUT LOUD (IT’S ALL IN MY HEAD, YOU’RE NOT REAL!!)


Scene 3


As I do this reiki energy flows out of my hand and into my body.

The force is so strong that for a second I feel great relief like there is hope.

All of a sudden, I see a white light in the distance. I start going towards the white light and perch under it.

This white light is reiki energy here to help me.

As she goes under the light she feels a powerful force within her and this gives her more strength then ever before.

With this new strength she yells “I CAN BEAT THIS” “I WILL BEAT THIS”

YOU CAN’T TAKE OVER ME!

The more she says this the more powerful she feels.

The demon struggles to stay alive but my words are so powerful and strong that the demon doesn’t stand a chance.

The more I believe in myself and my words, the more powerful I am the more the demon struggles to stay alive.

Slowly the demon starts to fall to the ground loosing its power and then struggles on the ground to keep alive.

I fight with it for a bit and give it reiki energy. The energy is so strong that the demon struggles to stay alive but doesn’t and ends up dieing.

I touch it to make sure it is dead and breathe a sigh of relief when I see that it is dead for good!

Then the white light comes again from a distance and shines over the demons head. The light is so powerful that it cures the demon and the demon after dieing is reborn again into a new, more powerful person.

This symbolizes that the evil thoughts about people that I have has been broken and cured.

Scene 4

Both of us go over to each other link arms (symbolizing that this part of me no longer will take over in an evil way) and walk off stage happy together.
