Celebrating my 10-year career! Back to 2013 when I was published in the American Curves Magazine Spring 2013 Issue! ‘A feast for the libido’ it says while you get the chance to enjoy some of the most outrageously sexy pics I made! It’s a shame that this magazine doesn’t exist anymore. Its editor seemed to really like me. I was published many times in this magazine! I still have some copies of this issue available on my store. Get your autographed copy today! ;)

Celebrating my 10-year career! Back to 2013, when I became a redhead for 1 month!
On April 2013, le Musée de la Civilisation, a museum in Quebec City, lauched an exhibition about video games called ‘Une histoire de jeux vidéo.’ They organized many events to promote the exhibition including a launching cosplay evening. As a glamour model who did nudes, I was surprised and flattered when someone from the museum contacted me to be guest of honor for the cosplay event! The lady was calling me ‘Madame Bourbonnais’. People say they are open-minded, but it’s really uncommon for a big company in the province of Quebec to associate themselves with a girl who has done nudes.
I was really into Bleach at that time and I sewed for the event another costume that I wore only once: a version of Kurosaki Ichigo. And instead of buying a wig, I decided, out of nowhere, to dye my hair orange! Here I am posing with the newspaper of that day where an interview with me was just published.
I took advantage of my month as a redhead to make one more cosplay, April O’Neil. :D One of the simplest and most comfortable costumes I’ve ever made! April O’Neil print available on my store: www.store.mcbourbonnais.com
There are not a lot of pics of me as a redhead, so you’d better enjoy these ones! It’s been almost 20 years now since I started bleaching my hair to be a platinum blonde and I feel like it could be time for a change… Which hair color should I try?
Celebrating my 10-year career! Back to 2012 when I started collaborating with a young, extremely talented artist called Jaguar.
Jaguar had a unique way to bring to life caricatural characters and made a few amazing artworks of me that you can see in my website’s galleries. ‘Art of Jaguar’ was specialized in adult comics. His website was part of a network supervised by his personal manager, a brilliant guy who had the idea to get a booth in an adult convention to promote the various artists’ work. Jaguar’s manager hired me to dress up as some of the artists’ characters and stay at the booth to take pics with people. And guess what convention it was? Yes! The AVN! :D On January 2013, I spent one weekend in Las Vegas surrounded by sexy pornstars (here I am in an outfit I sewed with Canadian actress Taylor Stevens), went with the guys in all the strip clubs and ended one of the nights the head in the ice bucket at the Sapphire. Yes, I was sick, but it remains one of the best weekends of my life!
Unfortunately, Jaguar’s manager died in an accident in the following months and I lost contact with Jaguar, who wasn’t really speaking English. :( It could have been the beginning of an exceptional collaboration between a talented artist and I, but life chose otherway.
The purple dress I wore to party in Las Vegas is part of my 10-year Career Special Sale. You’ll find the dress in the One of a Kind section of my store. www.store.mcbourbonnais.com
Celebrating my 10-year career! Great memories from 2012: when I was received as a cosplay guest in Córdoba, Argentina and in Montevideo, Uruguay! :D
Appearing on TV in Uruguay, drinking Fernet in Argentina, eating meat at the meat market (hummmm, meat…) and eating alfajores! Sweet memories! But my most cherished memory is a young girl in Uruguay. I think she was dressed up as Rarity from My Little Pony, she came to me and told me: ‘Thanks for coming to Uruguay. Nobody ever comes to see us in our small country.’ And I almost cried. ¡Muchas gracias a todos mis amigos de América Latina! Pienso con frecuencia en usted !
Celebrating my 10-year career! Back to 2012, when Tour Concomics invited me again as a cosplay guest for 2 conventions, one in Acapulco and one in the lovely town of Morelia where I wore my Ryofu costume for the 1st time! To my friend Lalo who was my translator: I will never thank you again to have made me discover Patzcuaro. It’s one of the most beautiful places I visited in my life.
The yellow dress I wore in the plane to Mexico and the purple dress I wore to go out one night in Acapulco are both part of my 10-year Career Special Sale. Both dresses are available in the One of a Kind section of my website store and come with an autographed print of the picture

Celebrating my 10-year career! Through these 10 years, I had the opportunity to collaborate with many photographers from all around the world. 2012 is a year where I did many photoshoots particulary with Canadian photographers. Let’s share local Canadian talent, especially since 2012 is when I posed for the 2013 Sunshine Girl Calendar in Toronto! :)
Jack Boland is a photographer for the Canadian newspaper Toronto Sun. I first met him in 2011 during Toronto Fan Expo. Check out my previous posts to find out about my first Sunshine Girl photoshoot and the incredible exposure it gave me through the country. In 2012, Jack was kind enough to think of me for the 2013 Sunshine Girl Calendar and we did another amazing photoshoot in this luxurious hotel of Toronto. Sweet (and gorgeous) memories!

Celebrating my 10-year career! Through these 10 years, I had the opportunity to collaborate with many photographers from all around the world but I wanted to share with you the amazing pics I did with some photographers from Canada. Let’s share local Canadian talent.
Gil Perron (P&P Image Factory) is a French Canadian photographer from Montreal City with whom I made my very first professional glamour pics back in April 2008. I owe to Gil my legendary Mortal Kombat Frost pics, but also the unique chance to collaborate with some of the best hair stylists and makeup artists from the province of Quebec. Merci pour tout, Gil! :)

Very well known through the world of hair styling competitions/hair salon photography, Gil allowed me to pose as a model for many hair salons, which was totally different from the rest of my work as a glamour model. And that’s how the short hair girl discovered hair extensions! See how I look as a redhead or with long blond hair in this hair extensions special montage! Check out the galleries for more pics by Gil Perron. Notice the purple wall with golden trims set: it was a set I built in my workshop and brought to the photo studio in Montreal. It’s been a while since I started building stuff, you know!

Marc-Antoine Jean (Marcographie) is a French Canadian photographer from Quebec City. Marc-Antoine had the opportunity to perfect his technique with a French photographer whose work was published in the greatest fashion magazines. With such a master as a teacher, Marc-Antoine became one of the best photographers I had the chance to meet in person. One of those hidden gems that you encounter once in a life time.
Marc-Antoine and I did this photoshoot together in 2012. However, a little later, Marc-Antoine’s computer was stolen with all the high res files from our photoshoot on its hard disk. :( The only high res file we have left is a picture he had edited and sent me earlier. This unique, very classy and elegant picture is available as a print on my website’s store.
We should definitely shoot again one day. Il faut qu’on s’organise un photoshoot, Marc-Antoine!

Vincent Lions is a French photographer based in Toronto. Specialized at the time in fashion and commercial photography, it seemed very unlikely that there could ever be a collaboration between him and the …glamour model I was. We were from 2 different universes. And yet it happened.
Vincent was working on a series of pictures related to the theme of textures. One of his ideas was to cover a model with clay and see how the clay on the skin would react and look in pictures. I was the chosen one.
It’s interesting to see how the clay dried out and peeled off during the photoshoot to give an evolving look, showing off a white skin that made me look like a living statue or a frozen creature… Vincent confessed at the end of the photoshoot that he was first a little affraid that my implants would distract attention from the concept, but apparently my posing and attitude in the photoshoot made everything work. :)
But since I had that figure, why not using it for another special concept? Make sure to check out the pics galleries for the full clay photoshoot and don’t miss the last picture called ‘Bye bye Barbie’.

Alexandre Huppertz is a French Canadian photographer from Montréal. I had seen his work online and loved his style. I organized a photoshoot with him in 2012 and we made together what remains today some of my favorite pictures, elegant implied topless pictures with a fashionable touch that almost makes you forget my very obvious glamour model features. ;) I owe him what I consider being my best portrait. Check out the galleries for the complete photoshoot.
