Here's my Zatanna, debuted in 2009.  Vintage handmade tailcoat and shirtwaist, tuxedo shirt and white tie ordered online, shorts from American Apparel, hat, wig, and gloves from a local costume shop, and fishnets from wherever place was handy.  One of my least labor-intensive costumes!

This was taken at a local theater we got permission to use.  The smoke effect is "real" - that is, not photoshopped in.  I had a small cup hidden in the palm of my hand containing a little bit of water and dry ice (I spend my daytime alter ego hours working for a biotech company.  It has its perks.).



I nearly broke my photographer's brain when I suggested a Zatanna shibari escape artist photoshoot.  He was incapable of speech for several minutes, much to the amusement of his wife, who did all of the ropework.  (For those unfamiliar with the term, shibari is the art of tying someone up.)  There is nothing suggestive about these pictures, as they were done with intent to tell a Houdini-like escape story, however, for some, just the idea of the subject matter may be slightly iffy, so I'll keep these off-board.  Check the links below to see the galleries.
