Cleveland & Buffalo

Yesterday we got on the road right at 10am as planned, heading out of Chicagoland towards Cleveland, Ohio. The ride was uneventful, just the kind of ride I prefer.

We arrived in Cleveland about six hours later in time to grab a tasty dinner at a local diner before heading over to photograph Bella Sin for All That Glitters. Bella Sin is a sweetheart who is also apparently a workaholic who has worked very hard to spread the word of burlesque in Cleveland. Kudos to her for donating her time in full costume to a soup kitchen!

Back on the road again for another three and some change, we got in to Buffalo, New York just after midnight. Long day, that was.

Today we slept in a little bit before stopping in to Amy’s Place, a delicious dinner that knows how to do breakfast right. Mistress J Kiss of The Stripteasers was the next to join the All That Glitters project. She has a great story about meeting Dita Von Tease a while back, but you’ll just have to wait for the video.

After the shoot we headed up to Niagara Falls. I had been there as a kid, and other than there being a huge amount of water plummeting over a large cliff, it seemed as though the area had only become more commercialized and tacky.

A local grocery store provided dinner and now we’re just chillin’ with a movie, running some quick laundry so we can last the week, and calling it an early night.
