Lokurah videoclip

Last July I had my very first acting experience. I was asked to be part of the newest videoclip of French metal band Lokurah, directed by Julien Metternich.


I wasn't sure in the beginning because I didn't have any experience at all. Also, I'm quite shy and acting is still something completely different than doing a photoshoot. But I accepted and in the end it was a very nice and interesting experience. I wouldn't hesistate so long anymore in case someone would ask me again now :)
My boyfriend was also asked to act in this clip, and played the main role. It helped a lot that he was there I guess. Mental support and so :)  And of course it's nice to do something like this together.

We started at 8 a.m. in the morning and finished around 10 p.m. in the evening...quite a long day!



Maybe I should tell you the story of the videoclip first...
The story: A former topmodel gets disfigured in a car crash. She gets so envious of the beauty of young girls that she lures aspiring models to her house, under the false condition of a photoshooting. Once a girl arrives, she kills them by suffocating with a plastic foil.

In the videoclip you can see how there is a crime scene photographer who takes pictures of all the bodies and starts to be haunted in a way (he gets some kind of déjà vu feelings and images of the murders). In the end he discovers the place where the killer hides. It's a place full of burned and damaged pictures of the girls, creepy barbie dolls and masks. The killer then tries to kill the photographer too, but fails, and she gets killed herself. Ironically also being suffocated with a plastic foil.


As you maybe already may have guessed, I was the killer. :)
So I needed an "ugly" special effects make-up to make my face look damaged.
Here are some pictures of the preparation:
(The make-up was done by Laetitia Laverdure)




After the make-up was finished, I put on my black Fantastic Rubber catsuit in combination with long black latex gloves.
Then we were ready to start shooting my video part.
(My part is in the last minute of the video)



Here's the final result:



And here are some screenshots from the video to finish... :)





 



I hope you enjoyed reading and watching!

Fantastic Rubber, catsuits and body image

When I just started modeling, I absolutely hated catsuits.
Not in general, but just on myself when wearing one.


I've been very insecure about my body since I was a teenager. As a child I used to have a very slim and sporty figure, and I had a hard time to accept my body changing into a much more feminin and curvy shape. The main problem were my hips and I felt that they were unusually wide and completely out of proportion with the rest of my body. My waist has a circumstance of 62cm but my hips are 99cm, so that's a big difference.
While I loved the hourglass-shaped figures of other women, I hated it on myself. And it took several years (and a lot of wide pants and big wide skirts) to accept my own body.


In 2008 I did one of my first latex shoots with Josselin Guichard. He pushed me (and succeeded to convince me) to wear a black catsuit for the last part of the shooting.


Here you have 2 of the results:

I liked how they turned out, eventhough I thought/think that you can see how insecure I felt at that moment.

From this point on I started to be more and more interested in catuits, and also wearing them myself.
It took more than a year until I did a second shooting wearing a catsuit though... It's the "famous" shooting with Marcus Gloger, in the white Fantastic Rubber catsuit with the white balloons. The catsuits (and all rest of the concept) was completely Marcus' idea.
When I think about it...these pictures are even of my most favorites from any shooting I ever did.



This shooting is were I got to know "Fantastic Rubber". Fantastic Rubber is a german company founded by Peter Pick. They are specialized in neck-entry made-to-measure catsuits. When you've never tried on such catsuit it's almost unthinkable that someone would be able to get in on, with the neck as only entry hole. But surprisingly it goes very easily!
Since I posted the first pictures of myself in the white Fantastic Rubber neck-entry catsuit online, I received several emails from people who wanted to know more about these catsuits. The question always coming back is if it is really thát easy to get a neck-entry catsuit pulled on. And as I always answer; yes it is. You will be surprised and amazed :) Also the quality is great with a good finish.
After this first shooting I worked multiple times together again with Marcus Gloger and also Fantastic Rubber.

The "big boobs" catsuit.

The "Atlantis" catsuit.





My opinion about catsuits has turned around 180 degrees and now I just dream to have a LOT of catsuits in my latex collection. (Oh, I ordered a black metallic neck-entry catsuit from Fantastic Rubber recently. So there will be a blogpost + pictures about this very soon... Stay tuned!)
Also my opinion about my own bodyshape has changed. I accepted the way I am and am even happy with this. I wouldn't want to have another bodyshape. I even dare to say that a catsuit needs an hourglass shaped figure to be at its best.

Funny how some things can turn around like this :)
