Stephanie is a one of my role models for sure! I was her intern 2 years ago, and she showed me a world filled with rhinestones, feathers, and pasties. 
Her is tantalizing and she used to dance with Hop Swing & A Jump back in the day!
I asked Stephanie to share her story about how she came about making costumes, here is piece from my interview with her:
Categories: ClothingI was inspired to make show/dancer costumes after I saw a really terrible burlesque show in 1999. The dancers’ costumes were falling off at all the wrong times, besides looking really cheap and badly made. I was attracted to the idea of reverse engineering – making clothing to meant to peel off effortlessly and the fact that I coud work with fun materials like sequins and beading. I kept the idea in the back of my head until I finally contacted a burlesque dancer to offer my costuming services. She encouraged me to just join her troupe and make costumes for myself, which I did. My first costume was a pearl bead embellished bra and belt, which I still love. I’ve made many costumes since – my favorite burlesque costumes are the Marie Antoinette piece and the blue satin corset outfit.
J’adore!!! Unfortunately I don’t know who is the maker of these fabulous tights otherwise I’d own them. Let’s not forget to mention how stunning this photo is. Ah….maybe one day the Killer Diller girls will do a photo shoot like this….

Summer 2010 images via
Categories: ClothingSean Combs/Diddy has appeared in Vogue’s February 2010 issue alongside supermodel Natalia Vodianova in an editorial entitled Brief Encounter, shot by Annie Leibovitz and styled by Grace Coddington. Natalia and Diddy were outfitted by the likes of Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, Salvatore Ferragamo, Christian Louboutin, Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior. Read the full article from Vogue .
Diddy’s next studio album, due out in April, is entitled Last Train To Paris. Coincidence?
Hot Ticket
With a mood of gathering mystery—and clothes with a mid-century-movieland mystique—the romance is set for departure. Chanel tweed suit dress. Ralph Lauren Blue Label trench (on suitcase). Christian Louboutin slingbacks. On Diddy: Tom Ford coat and suit. Ermenegildo Zegna tie. Shot at New Jersey Transit Hoboken Station.
Strangers on a Train
The couple trade glances. Her look has all the hallmarks of MGM-siren glamour: pencil skirt (check!), narrow belt (check!), Lana Turner sweater (check!). Rochas silk sweater, skirt , and belt.
The Express Track
“Is this seat taken?” and “I’m traveling alone”—before the next station, an unexpected exchange of confidences. Giambattista Valli short-sleeved gray jacket and matching skirt. Hermès bag.
An Affair to Remember
Narrow corridors and incendiary screen chemistry lead speedily to first-class sleeping compartments. She’s dressed for a private party in soft-pink washed satin. Nina Ricci dress. On Diddy: Salvatore Ferragamo shirt. Louis Vuitton trousers.
Steamy
Looking absolutely like a World War II heroine—Greer Garson, say—Natalia clings to her star-crossed lover. Christian Dior pale-pink silk-crepe belted jacket with front peplum and tulip skirt. Nina Ricci leather ankle boots.
I’ll Be Seeing You
In the closing shot, she wears a trench coat – icon of tearful cinematic goodbyes since Bogie said, “Here’s looking at you, kid,” to Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca. Nina Ricci cotton trench.
From the April 2007 UK Vogue.
These luminous images are from editorial “Rückkehr nach Metropolis” in latest addition of Vogue Germany. I think Toni Gerrn (the female model) is breathtakingly gorgeous, but the male model is so so. More importantly though, check out the clothing, hair accoutrement, and jewelry!
