Zirconia Starfighter wishes you a Merry Christmas & a Happy NYE (25.12.2020, Athens GR)
Hope these holly days find you with your beloved ones. I am currently passing my Christmas time working hard as much as possible because who knows what kind of days are about to come with this pandemic. In the meantime my photo-shootings are my only source of happiness and creativity and good influence as well. In case you are interested, my tiers on Patreon are all named after some elements I love, like fire, ice, water and metals.
Some shootings I really appreciated this year were made at Athens Art Studio by Alexandros G. Vogiatzakis. I was planning long time an Iced project called the "Narnia Chronicles" (inspired by the tale) & the "Sea Priestess" (for which I mostly got influenced by one of my favorite bands, Coil). Ice and water are dominating these projects. The "Dark Empress" dominating color is black and the "Red Queen" which represents fire (and chaos) is red. Main pictures for these sets were taken by SpirosK Photography and Dimitris Marinis.
In the meantime I focus on the positive aspects of my life as I usually grumble too much! For example, I noticed that, although this year passed in quarantine and continuous lock downs, me I was working full time with only a short break of two months (or less). I participated at more than 35 events only in 2020. I got few and qualified photo-shootings. I got featured & published in many magazines. I created my Patreon account and got some appreciation and extra income there. So, I truly hope you focus on the positive things too my friends! I wish you a wonderful Christmas and an even more amazing Happy New Year! May all your wishes come true and that these days, you spend them with your beloved ones which is the most important thing in the world!

Zirconia Starfighter featured on LTX Magazine (16.11.2020, IT)
Hello my dear readers! Quarantine life goes on here in Athens, so I continue my regular morning job at the office. In the meantime I get as creative as possible. I am very happy that my photo-shootings find you satisfied on my Patreon and, at the same time they get submitted on magazines with a lot of success. My last shootings of the year were made by SpirosK Photography and Tassos Oreopoulos at their fully equipped studios.
Remember my nun project? All latex was made by Monika Doll Latex Designs (Ahens, GR). This shooting took place at the studio of SpirosK Photography at the 5th of January, early this year. I am so happy it got featured on such a deeply fetish magazine again like LTX Magazine (Italy). It's not the first time they use my pictures and I am so-so grateful of their taste in my stuff.
In fact, this shooting is fully uploaded as well on my Patreon, for the most extreme/dedicated cosplay and latex lovers! High resolution pictures are available on my "Dark Empress" tier if you'd like to check it out.
As this set found so many Patreon members interested, I am willing to edit more pictures of it in the future. Till then stay tuned! My photographer Spiros edited many on his own and, I totally admired his taste in backgrounds as well. You will find few of them on his official websites and, the rest of them, exclusively on my Patreon. So happy to have you there!

Zirconia Starfighter Autumn shootings (Patreon, 2020)
Since the clubs stay closed, I am getting concentrated on my -main now- secretary's job. In the meantime I started editing and uploading the shootings of the last months on my Patreon. My last shooting of the year was made by SpirosK Photography at his studio.
These projects respond mostly to my winter dancing projects, that's why you will find my favorite cyber styling. This month found me taking advantage of the quarantine to be a bit more creative and relax as much as possible. This shooting took place at the studio of SpirosK Photography at the 11th of August. I also used one latex purple uniform. Hope you like it.
I will soon upload more publications from foreign magazines. In the meantime, it's the first time in my life, after fifteen years, that I will celebrate the 28th of October (national holiday in Greece which is the day that commemorates the rejection by Greek dictator Ioannis Metaxas of the ultimatum made by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini on October 28, 1940) at home and not on the stages or clubs. I wish you all a wonderful month!

Zirconia Starfighter published on LTX Magazine (June/August 2020, IT)
Hello my dear friends! This month found me working at my main secretarial & graphic designer job mostly, as I had to cope with the beginning of an unfinished quarantine and the complete closing of all clubs and bars. As for festivals, nobody can even dare to mention them! It is like the end of an era which we all have to confront now. To my surprise, the end oif August & beginning of September found me creative enough tgo refresh my Patreon posts & gallery updates. Thanks to my beloved Patrons, I keep the Zirconia Starfighter spirit alive! I am so grateful to all these people who support me during these difficult and weird times. All I can say is that I had the darkest summer ever, full of uncertainty and doubts.
In the middle of August I had my latest photo-shooting by SpirosK Photography which will be uploaded on my Patreon way later in 2021. In the meantime I want you to enjoy my latest publication, LTX Magazine (straight from Italy). I got featured there on many pages with my UV-cybergoth photo-shooting by Tassos Oreopoulos.
In this magazine I didn't give any interviews like at my latest publications on Sinical and Dominate Me Magazines but, I was featured on so many pages, fully dedicated to my personal artistic hard work! I am so grateful and thankful to all publications which keep the spirit alive!
In the meantime I personaly want to thank my Spanish friend (and amazing sci-fi writer as well on his personal blog Planeta Inquietante) Adolfo Rodriguez Taboada for his advice and motivation he gave me to start my Patreon page which offers me some even extra motivation (and money) to continue what I love to do in the times of covid-19, quarantines and lock-down. There is no better influence and inspiration like the love of the people who appreciate your effort.
I hope you enjoyed my pictures revealed here. I promise to post them later in full resolution on my Patreon. Don't hesitate to visit me and subscribe. It is always a pleasure!

Zirconia Starfighter performing at G Music Gallery (1.8.2020, Sparti GR)
Although this month began with optimistic vibes, dynamic gigs and amazing new co-operations for my portfolio, the end of it was not as positive as I expected. Perhaps that's one more reason why I don't like so much people with motos which lead to toxic positivity. August the 1st, found me traveling to Sparti for my shows at G Music Gallery Club (1.8.2020, Sparti GR). I should mention here that my origins from the part of my mother are routing in Gytheio (also the ancient Gythium or Gytheion), a town on the eastern shore of the Mani Peninsula, and a former municipality in Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece (Mani, Peloponese).
It was an amazing Saturday night to start the month. Then, on Thursday the 6th I danced at Axum Club in the center of Athens. Saturday the 8th I went to dance at Ameriki's Square again at my beloved Ameriki's Palace (8.8.2020, Athens GR). Unfortunately there weren't so many people these days in Athens, as people travel to villages, islands and mountains for their summer holidays.
Believe it or not, my gigs finished at the 15th of August, along with our religious Virgin Mary's celebration. I traveled with a team to Vragkiana in Karditsa to dance & perform my fire show there at a party in a huge villa. The trip was dangerous and tiring. All the way to go there and return to Athens made me so dizzy I thought I would throw up. Just to let you guys know, not all jobs are awesome as we cannot predict the kind of traveling we are going to face. The road was full of falling rocks and other risks. My dancing partner's car became a mess (even worse than my stomach). However, I have to admit the party was great and the food of the company that booked us was delicious!
Middle of August they announced that night clubs will close at 23:00-00:00, so, my gigs stopped out of a sudden until further notice. In the meantime, I had some happy news from LTX Magazine that I was published again, this time in my latex nun project. All my amazing latex outfit is made by Monika Doll Latex Designs. The 7th issue is for summer 2020 as I noticed (between June & August 2020, Italy). Many other photo-shootings are on the way for my next Patreon posts. Join & enjoy!

Zirconia Starfighter dancing at The Passion Club (24.7.2020, Athens GR)
Summertime is not my kind of season as I am a winterborn but, at least there are some interesting events to keep me up cheerful and creative. This month started with one more of my participations at Axum Club (3.7.2020, Athens GR), on a Friday night, close to Ameriki's Square in the center. Saturday night found me at the center again dancing at a coffee-bar, Lilian's Coffee Shop (4.7.2020, Athens GR).
Although oriental dancing is not my kind of thing either, this month found me dancing at many parties of this genre. On Saturday the 11th of July I danced along with Bill Tsatsos, the best darbuka player in Europe at 2+2 Club in Piraeus (which is actually the most famous swingers club as well in Greece and organizes dance events of any kind).
This year is passing so quickly by the way, that it almost scares me. Saturday the 18th, I danced at Negelia Cafe Bar early and later at the same night at Ameriki's Palace Club (18.7.2020, Athens GR).
Last time I had danced at The Passion Club in Galatsi, it was long-ling time ago, so, on Friday the 24th we re-united our forces and I danced & performed my oriental fire show there! This month I also had loads of graphic works as well for clubs and also a dance school and a translations center. I was very happy to dance there again after so many years!
I was also happy to be found by new interesting places and perform there at their opening parties, so, on Saturday the 25th of July I performed my fire shows at Chloe Coffee-Bar at the north suburbs (25.7.2020, Athens GR). The whole month was full of dance parties, even in the heart of our capital in the middle of this (strange to me...) summer!

Zirconia Starfighter dancing for Axum Club Opening (26.6.2020, Athens GR)
Quarantine time ended at the end of May, close to the beggining of June. I admit that, compared to other people, I appreciated these three months of serenity and relaxation. It was a time for me to create my Patreon Creator account and try to start over. I was missing my jobs of course but, a time out was somethig I really needed.
Soon the parties started and, I go-go danced on Friday the 5th of June at Naos Club in Piraeus. Saturday the 6th, I danced at Kouros Club. The next week I continued again at the same place, Kouros Club (Friday, 12.6.2020, Athens GR).
Saturday the 13th I performed my led/laser show and danced as well at Crescendo Cafe Bar in the center. Friday the 19th, I danced & performed at Kouros Club. Saturday the 20th, I danced again at my beloved Ameriki's Palace Club.
On Friday the 26th of June there was a club opening announcement, so, I go-go danced for a famous African MC/rapper, named 'Good Kid'. The show took place at Axum Club in the center of Athens. Saturday the 27th, I danced and performed my fire show at Kouros Club and, somehow, my month passed really quickly and nicely. The most wonderful thing was my reunion with Tassos Oreopoulos, my favorite photographer, with whom I had two new photo-shootings this month. Stay tuned for a lot of new interesting stuff in my all time favorite dark alternative & fantasy looks!

Zirconia Starfighter featured & interviewed on Sinical Magazine (5.5.2020, Athens GR)
This month continued in the same almost way like April, with a few small changes which started periodically. After a certain point of time the government informed us that slowly some shops would start to open, like hairdressers & nail art studios, clothing brand shops and more. After the 18th of May they would start opening the ports and other stations to allow traveling inside the country again. We were informed we could stop using the SMS feature too.
I got featured on Dominate Me Magazine at the 5th of May, during my nameday an straight after this, close to the middle o the month, on Sinical Magazine (Texas, Houston US). They dedicated again six pages of mine with a full interview. I would like to thank this magazine very much, as well as all the others which got me featured for the May issues of 2020! My latex in these pictures are all by Monika Doll Latex Designs and my photographer is SpirosK Photography for once more.
During the last week of May, I also got featured on LTX Magazine from Italy (24.5.2020, Italy). The issue of May there contains also many other interesting personalities, fully dressed in latex. This time they chose my cyber-goth pictures in my Prohibition Clubwear UV transparent PVC outfit. The photos were all made by Tassos Oreopoulos in 2013. To my surprise, I see that everyone still likes them!
I have already got the tearsheets of all my pictorial features in all of these magazines. Here I post for you just a few of them in low resolution. I am really inspired now and think about re-creating cyber and fetish images for my Patreon too.
May was a month of prints for me, literally. I am truly deeply-thankful to all of the people who support me during the period of quarantine in Greece. Hope we will get back to normal soon. But most of all, hope life will get better as well. Wishing us all the best!

Zirconia Starfighter on Patreon (25.4.2020, Athens GR)
April found me home, protecting myself from Covid-19 and going out only by sending SMS to the government for urgent and/or extremely necessary cases such us, shopping at supermarkets, pharmacies and take away restaurants, going at hospitals or banks, exercising a bit around the main square and going at a friend's house only in a case of a serious health issue. They had created special codes for each SMS, responding to each case. The situation is crazy for all of us here. As for me, I had forgotten a bit how is the daylight out there. I lost all my tan, missed doing my nails. I removed all my acrylic material from them at home with my wheel.
In the meantime, as I was bored a bit too, I started searching some things on the internet like jobs of other kinds because clubs & bars are all closed. However, it is kinda difficult to get a job on graphic design that I had studied long time ago. I was looking for other resources. My friend Adolfo Rodriguez Toboada from Spain advised me to create a profile on Patreon so I could get some money from membeships. Patreon is an international platform where artists get paid. So, close to te end of April I created my pesonal artistic profile there and started getting my first Patrons.
I was satisfied enough to see that a certain amount of people supported me on my Patreon. But I needed some more recognition so, I started remembering what I did in the far-past to get it. I was shocked of the fact that I had forgotten completely what I was doing at the beginning of my modeling career, many years ago (well, more than a decade...). So, I sent some of my pictures to magazines throughout the world. I was so happy when I started getting positive answers. I got interviewed on many publications and featured at at least two of them for the next magazine issues of May & June.
I was lucky enough to get the tearsheets of my pictorial feature in Dominate Me Magazine (issue May 2020, USA). The issue will be out at the 5th of May, on my nameday, with a small bio and six pages full of my latex pictures. The photographers on that issue were my amazing co-operators, Anna-Sofia Koumparou and SpirosK Photography. My latex designer was mainly Monika Doll and a few others. I posted the tearsheets here because I have to post more next month. Stay safe and healthy!

Zirconia Starfighter performing at Enzzo Club (7.3.2020, Livadia GR)
This month started in a bit strange way, not only for me but, for all the world. It was a little bit before the mniddle of March that I had started noticing lots of cancellations of gigs and parties at bars, clubs and restaurant/cafes. The last thing I remember is that at the 6th of March I danced at 'E' Club and on Saturday the 7th I traveled at Livadia, after a long time, to perform at my beloved Enzzo Club (7.3.2020, Viotia GR).
For the following week I had arranged to dance at my regular basis, Kouros Club (13.3.2020, Kallithea GR) and on Saturday the 14th to travel to Sparti for my first time to perform at G Music Gallery Club. To my sad surprise everything was cancelled, so, I had to start making plans for the months that would follow. You see, outbreak of the virus named Covid-19 already started in our country. The news didn't speak about anything else and the whole situation caused nothing else by fright.
I always try to keep my website as professional as possible and to avoid speaking up clearly my mind about national, political and other situations. This month was not so creative for me but, I started exploring other ways of working which started being interesting enough to me. This month I had the chance to receive a message by one of my photographers from Crete, the amazing Konstantinos Vergakis. He asked me for an interview on a website that he created. I admit I saw many well known people featured on it. My interview was out at the 12th of March. Hope you enjoy it! As for Covid-19, it totally locked down all countries worldwide, so, there will be no parties for the next two months for sure. Let's wish the things will get better for all countries.

Zirconia Starfighter performing for 'A Night in Berlin' at Tres for Hideout Events (1.2.2020, Athens GR)
My second favorite month after December (my birth month) is February of course, due to the carnivals. However, things in my country -and the entire world as well- tend to get tense. Many worrying incidents happened and more will come, so, if ny of the gigs I am going to mention here will get cancelled, that's obviously not my responsibility. The best gig happens to be the first of this month at the 1st of February at Tres Club by Hideout Events, called 'A Night in Berlin'. Truth is my manager from Erotic Festival Official booked me there, so, I'd like to thank him again for his -14 years- appreciation and our smooth cooperation! This party is always blast!
Most of my Fridays I danced at 'E' Club and, next Saturday, after the amazing party at Tres, I performed at Nemesis Club. To be honest, that was my first time in my life to see Nafpaktos (8.2.2020, Psani Beach, Nafpaktos GR). Friday the 14th, it was the national Valentine's day, which found me dancing at four diferent venues. I started my dancing night by Arabian Nights Shisha Lounge. I continued later at E Club and then at the amazing Irida Hall. I finished my night at Alegria Latin Club (14.2.2020, Athens GR).
The next day I danced at Kouros Club in Kallithea, one of my favorite places (15.2.2020, Athens GR). My week continued in a busy mode on as the carnival was about to start. On Thursday the 20th I visited Patras for two more of my shows at Eiffel Nightclub. Friday te 21st I danced for a second time at 'Tis Voularas Ta Kamomata' restaurant-bar in Piraeus.
On Saturday the 22nd I visited Skala Lakonias to dance and perform at Baraz Coffee Bar (22.2.2020, Skala Lakonias, Peloponnese GR). I have to say that although I expected it to be a simple bar, I entered inside a huge place which should be mentioned as a club instead; very impresive with a great decoration!
Last week of the carnival period this time, was during February only. On Friday the 28th I visited for my very first time Gastouni Area in Ilia. There I danced at Jello Coffee Room in freestyle, oriental and some amazing samba rhythms! The hospitality was great as well! Saturday tyhe 29th I returned to Athens for my dancing sets and special performances with uv/led/laser & fire shows at 50-50 Bar (29.2.2020, Athens GR). Last day of the carnival, before the "clean Monday" traditional day I was booked in Thiva at Pisina Cafe. Happy Carnival to all of you!
January 25, 2020
Zirconia Starfighter performing at Ameriki's Palace (25.1.2020, Athens GR)
Happy New Year everyone! Hope this year started fine for you! As for me, it found me doing my favorite thing, which is dancing & performing at three different venues. Last time I forgot to mention that I also danced at Stars Live Stage for some artists and at Belvedere Multiplex fpor NYE. 3rd if January I kept my residency at 'E' Club, whre I dance every Friday. This month I also danced there at the 18th as well. Saturday the 4th, I traveled to Metsovo to dance at The Cage Club (4.1.2020, Metsovo, Ioannina GR). I can't say I was left satisfied from there so, I don't recommend this place to anyone. At least the net day it was a national religious celebration in Greece, so, I was booked at a place I really like, Kouros Club (5.1.2020, Kallithea GR).
Every Friday you will find me dancing at E Club this month and, on Saturday the 11th, I danced at La Luna Bar (11.1.2020, Ilion GR). There was a small exemption on Friday the 17th that I danced at Kouros Club again (17.12.2019, Kallithea, Athens GR).
My best co-operation for January was Ameriki's Palace, a new bar in Ameriki's Square (25.1.2020, Athens GR), a place I had really missed to visit. I keep many memories from the oldest goth venue (Rebound Club) which is located there exactly. It is regarded as a ghetto area and, I like the way of how underground it is. On the same day I had booked to dance at Golden Hole All Day Bar as well.
My residency at 'E' Club continues normally at the 31st. February will follow with some even more interesting gigs. So, stay tuned and enjoy the winter time in Greece!
