..June 2006 DUMBO & Williamsburg..
I saw Anita Cookie in a bar entering a burlesque show. Set up a photo with her 2 weeks later. She wanted to portray a little girl trapped in a woman’s body. It best suits her burlesque character.
She had a couple of ideas but wanted to do a shot nude in public. I wasn’t as committed to the idea because it had been done often. But also because I wanted something a little more comical and the idea of have a little girl trapped in a woman’s body.
A number of looks from playing on a dirty sidewalk to holding a teddy bear while wearing lingre on a street corner. Wearing red lingre and holding the teddy bear. If these photos didn’t look good it will be my fault. She was very concise with her vision for the photo. I enjoyed taking this one the most. I just hope I got the shot.
This shot with the teddy bear made it to the last edit. The final shot used for the Striptease Burlesque exhibition was the photo of her sloppily tied to a light pole yelling or laughing. This teddy bear shot is still one of my favorites. This session was one of the most successful of the Striptease Burlesque project.

Really cool photo of Anita, the striking red underwear and the buildings across the water really play off well against each otehr.
