Chanukah is the Jewish Festival of lights. There is much darkness this year with the massacre at the Chanukah celebration at Bondi Beach in Australia.

Lighting candles often marks moments of joyous celebration but also to remember tragedies. This year the Chanukah candles sadly mark both.

Much thanks to Jonathan Savage for doing this shoot a few weeks ago.

Jonathan Savage is a Toronto DJ who likes to spin nostalgic beats with punchy basslines. His sets often include classic 90s sounds with a contemporary twist. He loves playing in a sexy q***r club and he’s also available for bar-mitzvahs. His green gummy bear necklace was picked up in a flea market in Berlin.

Nile .lv is currently doing a degree in criminal justice and plans to apply to law school. So he may have to wear a suit daily. But he definitely likes to rock the classic white tank top. When he is not studying criminal justice statistics and issues in correctional facilities, he performs classic Latvian folk dancing including the polka as well as delivers a few high kicks.

Thanks Nile for an amazing photo shoot.

created this outfit for his 27th birthday in Nov., 2024. This work was inspired by a Thierry Mugler piece that the French designer sent down the Paris runway for Spring/Summer 1992. It was worn then by notable trans model Connie Fleming . In 2024 borrowed it for her Cowboy Carter lookbook. Merifield secured some of the finest gems from wish.com. Over 30,000 rhinestones were used. The piece is now stored securely under his bed.

Much thanks to model Josh Merifield for this photo collab.

Studio 54 & Warhol inspired photo shoot with Toronto model

Andy Warhol’s Silver Factory was covered in aluminum foil and silver paint by artist and photographer Billy Name. Even the toilet was covered in silver. Warhol was a fixture at legendary New York club Studio 54. Noted the pop artist: “The key of the success of Studio 54 is that it’s a dictatorship at the door and a democracy on the dance floor.”

1989 was a pivotal time for singer/songwriter & voice coach Trevor . That year Phantom of the Opera landed in Toronto (his school teacher played the album constantly) and The Little Mermaid hit the silver screen. Trevor saw the film only once in theatres, but wore out his VHS tape version of it. This set him on his musical path.

His current pop music inspirations include Sara Bareilles and Jessie J . He is also a wannabe member of the girl group KATSEYE

This Nova Scotian currently resides in Toronto. Much thanks to Trevor for a fabulous photo shoot.
