For Studio 32 Hair Salon – Hair stylist: Julie Carrier – Photographer: Gil Perron
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!

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. :)
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.

Vladimir Kevorkov is one of the first photographers I collaborated with when I started as a model back in 2008. This Russian photographer based in Toronto has such a unique sense of aesthetic! We made together creative images that are totally different from the rest of my portfolio as a glamour model. His work is truly outstanding. Check out the galleries for more pics.
Celebrating my 10-year career! Back to summer 2012 when my radio host friend, Marto Napoli, had one more very funny idea: Le Beau Gros Tintamarre Burlesque!
A few years ago, there was supposed to be an event in commemoration of Quebec City’s Bataille des Plaines d’Abraham (Google ‘Battle of the Plains of Abraham’ if you’re curious to learn a part of Quebec history) but the event was canceled. My friend Marto had decided to organize his own event: a free, family friendly water gun fight! The crowd would be split in 2 teams that would run on the Plaines d’Abraham and attack each other… with #waterguns! Guess who was the referee? When you’re ready to get wet…
Celebrating my 10-year career! Funny memories from 2012: when I was featured in the French Canadian TV show ‘Un gars le soir’ with TV host and comedian Jean-François Mercier (also on the picture: comedian Ghislain Taschereau.) When the production team learned that I was a costumer dressing up as superheroes, it apparently inspired the writers on the show who created those skits about Super Bat (obvious pun about Batman and the fact that ‘bat’ in Québécois French is a slang for ‘penis’ – the smiley is to censor a dildo showing off from Super Bat’s speedo) and Double F (my bra size at the time). Check out my Twitter (mcbourbonnais1) for the uncensored pic. I had quickly made a latex costume and basic fiberglass props to bring Double F to life. These hilarious Super Bat and Double F skits on the popular TV show gave me some great exposure through the province of Quebec.

Celebrating my 10-year career! Back to 2012, when Soda Pop Miniatures (now Ninja Division) introduced me as a character in one of their games for the first time!
It’s in 2012 that Soda Pop Miniatures launched the card game Tentacle Bento. In the Japanese Takoashi University for girls, extraterrestrial creatures with tentacles disguised as human beings are hiding among the students. As a player, you act as one of the extraterrestrial creatures and you try to catch students using the cards you have in your hands. The winner is the player who catched the most students. :D
My character in the game is not only the gym captain of the school, but also one of these extraterrestrial creatures! ;) When you look at the special edition, collectible Tentacle Bento Marie-Claude miniature, you’ll see tentacles coming out from my school backpack. 😮🐙
My character appears on many cards in the game, each card showing a funny message.
For the photoshoot, I sewed the classic Japanese gym outfit, tshirt and short shorts, with a wool and leather varsity jacket with a custom made chenille patch of the university’s name, ‘Takoashi.’
Back then, there was no Canadian embroidery company specialized in chenille patches, the very few that were doing it were insanely too expensive, while varsity jackets and chenille patches are super common in the USA. I had ordered both the ‘Takoashi’ and ‘MC’ patches from an American company for less than $40. :) You can see the full photoshoot in the galleries. Prints available on www.store.mcbourbonnais.com
Celebrating my 10-year career! Back to 2012: the beginning of my collaboration with Soda Pop Miniatures – Ninja Division!
After I built and unveiled Ninja Division’s mascotte cosplay pics (see my previous post) I realized that this uncomfortable fiberglass costume wasn’t wearable. In order to attend Gen Con with Ninja Division’s team, I’d have to choose and build the costume of another character from their games. I chose Rin Farrah from Relic Knights.
It was the first costume I made using genuine leather. I had no real knowledge in leather working and sewing and it wasn’t perfect, but I was proud of it. I also really liked the ‘armor’ look of my previous fiberglass costume and decided to include a fiberglass bra to Rin’s costume. I pierced tiny holes all along the fiberglass bra, where the wires would be in a regular fabric bra, and I stitched by hand the fiberglass cups to the costume’s sewing allowances, including a leather piping in the costume design to hide the joint between the fiberglass and the leather.
If you look at the making of pic, you’ll see that the fiberglass bra is fitting me perfectly, covering my areolas entirely. I had decided to wear orange leather pasties just in case and putting the costume on, I realized that when the pasties were showing off, it actually looked good! So I cut bigger pasties and wore the costume like this on purpose. When I was received as a cosplay guest at AWA in Atlanta that year, I couldn’t wear my R Mika costume because the bottom was a thong and I had to cover my breasts with my wig in my Rin Farrah costume because they thought the orange pasties looked too much like areolas from far! 😂
Even though so many girls walk around half naked in conventions everywhere through North America, I’ve often been treated like THE one that goes ‘too far’ in cosplay sexiness. Must be the implants.
Today, when I look at this costume, I see sewing flaws, but I still love it. Sweet memories. :) Photographer: Bryan Humphrey
