Zirconia performing for X-Dream Live (29.12.2013, Athens GR)
I was taking a look at some past gigs/events on my site and I was wondering when had I launched it for the first time ever. Well, it was beginning of 2007 when I first had my own official website. And end of 1999 when I had my first photo-shooting ever in my life. At this nostalgic poit of time I had no idea how teh future would be for me. But, I have to admit that I feel surprised with all my achievements. 13 years ago, I would't even inagine working so hard on my own for all that stuff. So, here I am now, updating my last news section for 2013 and trying to create another one for 2014. I feel satisfied and relieved.
All photos from Ghost House's "Fetish Burlesque Vol.2" party are already uploaded here. Special thanks to John Tsilidis again for his wonderful work. I had the luck to meet with so many cool friends from the BDSM circles here in Athens and Doctor D., a very nice dj. I also had the opportunity to visit Galatsi area at the 19th of December and go-go dance at Exploze Music Cafe, a very cosy and friendly place. All photos from this Thursday's party are uploaded here. Thanks to John Olas for his photographic services.
On Saturday the 21st I performed at Kranidi (Peloponnese, Greece). Some burlesque performance and fire shows were more than enough to cheer up the people there at Metaxia's bar/night-club. I will upload soon pics from that party here. As for this month, I am fully boked as I notice right now. So, after the 19th and the 21st here we go...
24.12.2013 - Performing in Gargalianoi (Messenia, Peloponnese GR)
25.12.2013 - Dancing for "Enter The VoiD | Drunk Santa" at Seven Sins (Athens GR)
26.12.2013 - Performing in Gargalianoi (Messenia, Peloponnese GR)
27.12.2013 - Performing in Gargalianoi (Messenia, Peloponnese GR)
28.12.2013 - Performing in Gargalianoi (Messenia, Peloponnese GR)
29.12.2013 - Performing for X-Dream Live at Vyrsodepseio(Gazi, Athens GR)
30.12.2013 - Performing in Gargalianoi (Messenia, Peloponnese GR)
31.12.2013 - Performing in Gargalianoi (Messenia, Peloponnese GR)
1.1.2014 - Performing in Gargalianoi (Messenia, Peloponnese GR)
2.1.2014 - Performing in Gargalianoi (Messenia, Peloponnese GR)
11.1.2014 - Performing at Exploze Moto Party (Galatsi, Athens GR)
15.3.2014 - Go-go dancing for The Hacker (Athens GR)
And more T.B.A. soon, or later.
Apparently, the co-operation in Vyrsodepseio will be a new one for me and I hope for the best. Apart from X-Dream there are plenty of other famous names playing music there and I am sure they will be so amazing! As for me, December will find me traveling from Peloponnese to Athens and back again, caring my suitcase all the time. I had never been in Gargalianoi before.
Can't wait for New Year's Eve and 2014's events to come. Especially for The Hacker's gig (Zone Records) for which I will have more news later. I was so happy when I got announced as a dancer for this master of electronic music.
In fact, I could never imagine myself as a dancer of all my favourite artists. Those were the ones I was listening to and admired deeply during my childhood. Every single beat of their music used to gave me lots of feelings and, now every single wish of mine to join those artists on stage is a dream come true. All I can see, is that, although 2013 was as difficult as 2012, I am grateful of both years, because they brought me so many new people and happenings in my life which made me see things in a much different way than before. I appreciate every moment of 2013 and, I am thankful for every nice thing that was brought to me.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May all our wishes come true and may 2014 be an easier and wealthy year for all of us who worked hard for it. All the best to you my friends and beloved ones!

Fetish Vaudeville feat. Torture Garden Artists at Gagarin 205 (23.11.2013, Athens GR)
I started this month with my father's nameday and my go-go dancing set at Achilleion Music Bar, a wonderful lounge bar/club from where you can find many pictures of mine here. I had the chance to meet with some old and newer friends and have lots of fun.
Later in the month I had some amazing news for upcoming appearances, photo-shootings and video-projects. I started some co-operations with other teams such as Rope Studies and I widened a bit my connections. I already have some event pictures by Chris Shaghal, the basic member and founder of the team. The amazing photo-shooting below is by Anestis Chatzibeis, an amazingly talented photographer as well, who always has a result wich reminds me of cinematic pictures or cinema posters in general. Special thanks to Ellada for her assistance! Full Gothic Saga here.
Another great photographer I co-operated with was Dmitriy Shevelev, or DS Photo. His origines are from Russia but he lives and works in Athens. The shooting in Plaka had a lot of alternatives in editing. Although it was an outdoor one, very difficult and intertesting at the same time in process.
A more than amazing co-operation I had again with Anna-Sofia Koumbarou (GR/SE) with my friend, alternative/pinup model and professional elite dancer Kicira Ekonomidou. The projects included 1) a candy and a "Picasso"-like sexy bunny and 2) a classic burlesque theme in fancy colors. More results coming here soon. The truth is, that I had many projects in this month due to the upcoming appearances of Christmas Holidays in December and many other things I have to do in that month. One of my favorite sets was with Tassos Oreopoulos, an all time classic co-operation of mine. I had a wonderful new outfit by Prohibition UV clubwear (London UK) and we have a lot of work on it in progress.
Most omportant event for November '13, I would say it was the Fetish Vaudeville featuring Torture Garden Artists at Gagarin 205, I had the chance to meet with a part of the TG team again, after a long time and to participate on stage with two of my performances in cabaret and futuristic moods. I was also happy to see again with Nick, the owner (and old friend of mine) and the new personel in charge of that live stage; all very nice people.
More pictures of this event are this time at a separated section here. Many photographers along with Chris, John Tsilidis, Obscure Camera, Afternoiz Magazine and many more. A review by the last e-zine I mentioned is here. You can also read another review on Allaboutmusic.gr which I liked too.
Upcoming December performance will take place at Ghost House club as a "Fetish Burlesque Vol.2" party. My second conceptual party by far. See you all there!

Zirconia Starfighter at Nostos/Ammos Club (13-14.9.2013, Athens GR)
My past news feed happened a long time ago. Seems like I didn't update anyhthing since July, so, I could write you at the moment a little bit of my news here.
My August dance performances took place in Metsovo (Ioannina, Greece), Kalambaka. I had the opportunity to see the amazing scenery of Meteora and make some awesome pictures of them. Soon I will finish uploading pictures in this section on here. In the meantime though I keep on updating my Tumblr with my newest photo-shootings for some amazing brands, such as XPleasure Erotic Stores (GR) and Savage Wear (Berlin, DE). Of course Tumblr has become a certain obsession for me lately, although I don't use it so properly yet, but I will keep you up to date with some of my material on my Blogspot as well.
From the 9th of July till today, I had a lot of obligations to my graphic designer's job. Later I was into photo-shootings, so, I kept on dancing of course but, in less places this time, after being really decided for the best venues & parties to go, stay and work for. Being selective is a must for me at the moment because, my main job has always been my main priority. And, when duty calls I have to be punctual to the BA and MA diploms I received a long-long time ago. From the beginning of July till today, end of September, I had to admit I got extremely tired from dance gigs, graphic design works and photo-shootings. But I love my job(s) and I will keep on being as creative as possible.
Some of the best summer gigs for me were my participations in Palazzo (Paleros GR), Moulin Rouge (Zakynthos, Laganas - Zante, GR), Teleferic (Metsovo, Ioannina GR), Intergames (Xylokastro, Korinthos GR) and Dream City for Modestep (one of the biggest UK artists in dubstep music industry). Some values are priceless though. So, at the 5th of October I go-go dance for Vertical Mode live set at the club I keep my go-go dancing residency: Seven Sins club. Lately, Seven Sins organized some huge productions and live gigs, with more than 3500 entries. So, dancing for the promoter/owner's events of my favourite venue will always be a must for me.
My photo-shooting in the Hollywood Room is fully uploaded here. My latex-fetish shootings by Anna-Sofia Koumbarou (from Sweden and Mykonos GR) are now uploaded in this section of my website. My dance pictures from my latest gigs are still being uploaded.
You will find my participations at Nostos/Ammos Beach club/bar here by Feelfamous.gr site for Jumpers house party and there for "Summer Moved On" & Galaxy 92FM. Special thanks to George P. and Demis ExpiK for promoting me as a dancer there.
My latest photo-shooting by my amazing friend and co-operator Tassos Oreopoulos started to upload now as well here. And also, my fantasy/fairy tale shooting by DS Photography (Dmitriy Shevelev from Russia) is getting edited as soon as possible. Stay tuned for more of my shootings and dance gigs!

Zirconia Starfighter at "To Baraki" (12-14.7.2013, Katerini GR)
The first 10 days of July have already passed and I find myself in the middle of summer, posting pictures like crazy from past events and posters from future events. June was a fuly booked month for me and July is already finished for me with the bookings. There is no free day for me at all, considering the fact that I wake up very early in the morning, every single day for my morning office job as graphic designer as well. Not to mention that this year I created more graphic works than ever for parties and gigs in general, either for my own stuff or other organizers' events. Samples of my work are usually uploaded on these sections of my website here and there.
Tomorrow morning I am leaving for Katerini (Litochoron Pieria, Greece) to meet many famous people at "To Baraki On The Sea" club there. Friday the 12th I will perform my Grinding Party Monster show and, various other dance and fire performances, with guest dj Maggie Charalambidou. Saturday the 13th I will continue my stuff there for REC and Eleanna Azouki live gigs. Sunday the 14th, Katerina Stikoudi will be also there for a gig. Many thanks to the organisation there who chose me as a performer. I am glad that I will share the stage with so many famous performers, go-go dancers and artists.
Saturday the 20th of July I will visit Xylocastro, after a long-long time for my participation, along with the go-go dancer Clio Palma, at Inter Games for the 1st Moto Meeting there. This time we will do some go-go dancing, fire shows and car washing for your eyes only!
Friday the 26th I will perform for Erotic Radio party at Altantis club (Oropos GR), Saturday the 27th at Thalassografies Beach Bar with my partner Iowolve Loki in a 'Night of Magic'. After this, I have already announced some August gigs in my calendar and I am already preparing the next 'Burlesque Fetish' event which will take place at Seven Sins club, in the center of Athens.
In case you want to view some images from my past gigs at Seven Sins club too (where I keep on performing and dancing from time to time), you can always check out the general "Seven Sins club" setion of pictures here. Many people ask my when & where am I gonna go for holidays but, in fact, I don't need any. I travel a lot anyways for my events and bookings and I enjoy laying on beaches if I find some time. Besides, I am in Greece and I am full of such kind of entertainment and relaxation. I wish you all a wonderful -rest of this- summer.

Zirconia Starfighter on Athens Erotic Dream Expo 2013
Hello to you all. It's been a long time since the last tme I wrote on here. As I'm getting used to Tumblr lately, I might be busy updating it but, my site always remains my big love.
So, March and April gig-pics are all uploaded in the main gallery for events and performances here. Plus, many photo-shootings by John Tsilidis (Hollywood Fetish and Cyberesque Fashion, Berlin), ChronosGR, and Anna-Sophia Koumbarou. The event pictures are numerous so, you should better check out all possible sections for year 2013 in gallery. More will be added soon also.
Zirconia Starfighter - Dancer (Video Edit by Iowolve Loki)
My participations on this year's Athens Erotic Dream Expo are a fact which was discussed on many forums and sites (KanoniTV, Patras Gossip News etc.). This year I will represent them some of my favorite projects alone this time, without any partners, as they are busy with studies and other personal cases but, at least I am very happy I got some great friendships out of those co-operations and, I still get to know some amazingly talented and interesting people. I have to admit that I changed my mind permanently for some other people I regarded as serious in my life and finally led to be nothing important at all. It's good actually because I am keeping the best and more respectable ones.
Soon I will upload even more pictures from recent and past parties, from Athens and other places in Greece, so, I provide you here some posters for them. This year in Athens Erotica I will perform my Lunatic Burlesque, Grinding Party Monster and Metal Grinder shows, so, stay tuned for the 31th of May. The Expo will last for three days as every year. This is my seventh year of participations and I already feel full of the Expo. But there is always a cool relationship I keep with these people over there, especially with the BDSM Area of it, where I keep some regular shows and presentations.
Zirconia - The Grinding Party Monster (Video Edit by Iowolve Loki)
Another amazing participation of mine is gonna take place at Dream City club - restaurant as a neon-glow go-go dancer for Modestep (UK), thanks to Shut The Fuck Up productions and Seven Sins club bookings. The video-clip I was talking to you about which made a blast of views and freaky surprises of many people all over Greece, is ready too. My TV presentations didn't go bad at all the last two months (two times on Star channel's telecast of Eleonora Meleti).

The rest of my news are regularly announced on the net (by the usual social media). Just to give you some tips, I am already booked for Katerini, Mykonos, Rhodes and more places during summer (July, August etc.). Some posters are already out. In every case I have more news (and publications, prints, adverts and posters/flyers of events) I always update the gallery. Hope to meet you all soon!

Zirconia Starfighter photo-shootings, news - updates (Athens GR)
February found me in Samos island at Charama club with some other dancers and performers from Megadance, one of my agencies, mostly known for my bookings in Athens Erotic Dream Expo. And by the way, this year's Erotic Dream will take place at EKEP again, in May the 31st and will last till the 2nd of June 2013. So, get ready for some more appearances of mine in spring and summer. I already got booked for some gigs in June, July and August. Most pics will be uploaded here soon. All I can remember from that experience is that, islands are not so alive finally in winter. I saw people coming at the club but the streets out there were completely empty and the weather was the worst I could even imagine. I returned home sick, going down with a flu.
Being busy for the whole December and half of January in Loutraki for the Fairyland expo/event and Santa Claus' Village Park, then Samos and, many graphic works and photo-shootings in between, I had no time for updates but, you will see many pictures as soon as I find some time on my blogspot and tumblr which gets very popular as I see. In case you want to catch me up on a gig, please, check out my online calendar for upcoming events.You can also check out some picture updates in the Fairyland Gallery of mine here. As you might notice, I was participating there as an animatrice and performer as well. Most photos were made by Photographics Center in Loutraki (Korinthos, Greece) and, mainly by Anna. As a performer, I shared the same stage with Paul Dee, Stefany Lo, Nevma, Constantinos Christoforou, Thelxi, Gogo Garyfallou & more artists at my one and only Grinding Party-Monster show, plus some fire-shows. Additionally, I used some few magic tricks along with Iowolve with sticks, ribbons, fans and fake snow. It was majestic there for Christas and New year's Eve. Plus, I learnt how to cope with children, a task which was never my strongest one. At the 10th of February I attended and video-shooted a gig of Soulfree -the band of Agamemnon (Fame Story reality and talent show on TV). Here's a small part of my effort.
During this month Alt Life Magazine started circulating for the first time in our country; the first Greek magazine ever that has to do with the alternative and fetish scene. I believe it was something we all needed to see and, I wish it good start. Since we have crisis here, it will be a bit difficult for it to get the popularity it deserves but, at least a start was finally realized. You will find two articles of mine in it: The first one is about the 21st annual Wave Gotik Treffen 2012 at Leipzig, Germany. The second article has to do with the darkest alternative venues of Athens. I also added some few outside of Athens, so, enjoy reading! My cooperation with Fotis and Katerina on the #1 issue was just great and, of course you shouldn't miss some of the fabulous photographic works by John Tsilidis. I am featured on two wonderful 'Alt Life' posters.
Can't believe that my photos from 2007 and 2009 are still being in use. That's just awesome! In the meantime we created some more amazing photos -this year- with John and you can view them at my new Cyberesque fashion section here on my website and at the "Hollywood Fetish" section. The names are taken from a) the famous fashion designer whose clothes I am wearing and from b) the hotel room of Priamos Hotel. This place is already using my pics at the main hotel entrance PC and laptop screens so, wait until you see more pictures and works coming.
At the first of March I start video-shooting after a long-long time for TVDOO telecasts, with Gogo and Derek, this time a bit smoothly as we are celebrating carnival here in Greece. Gotta chose some fancy outfits again. Till you see me on TV again, you can also enjoy my new interviews on Fixe Magazine (print-screen of it here - USA) and Alt Fashion (print-screen of it here - UK) which took place also in February. I definitely loved their questions! Don't forget to read my first interview I ever gave on a site, for Socialistas.gr and Goddess Hiliana whose work and personality I truly & deeply appreciate. Additionally, you can also read some other articles of mine such as "Autumn/Fall", exclusively on my personal site column 'Memories of an Alternative/Fetish Muse' which got founded after my own Zirconia Starfighter interview given there by the site's main editor and owner.
Especially my interview with Goddess Hiliana took extremely many views and likes. Thank you all so much! More prints, interviews, TV appearances and parties are coming. At the 13th of February I participated with Angel Hope Naava at Shamone club -a club of Greek celebrities & famous artists- for the 'Anti-Valentine's Eve' Party that Fotis Sergoulopoulos organized, along with the other club owners and party organizers there. I will upload photos on this section as soon as I get them. You will also find me performing at the 16th of March along with the TVDOO party at Flou cafe-club in Athinon-Chalkidos 22 Ave. At the 12th of April S-Clash is coming back in Athens along with Addicted 2Bass Event/Party team (and record company) to offer one more of their excellent international festivals and, I am already included in this as a top class performer.
As I haven't been in London the last years, it's so perfect that London is coming here with the most amazing events and, I am proud being a part of it every single time, along with the most famous international performers. My next events take place in April, May, June, July and August. It's still early to reveal them all but I just posted here some pics just to let you get the idea of some of them. Can't tell you more yet... So, enjoy! Closer, in April the 27th, I will be at Highway club again, for my Grinding Party-Monster performance. The picture which got chosen for the poster was one from my newest photo-shootings, of which I am really satisfied.
That's all for now, there are much more to post though (photo-shootings, 'Zirconia Starfighter' interviews and more to reveal later).
TUS ft Eleanna Azouki - An Eho Agapi - Official Video Clip (HQ)
I should mention that I participated at another kick-ass video-clip in January, which will be broadcasted on MAD TV and MTV Greece close to Easter. The video-clip's director was the famous Manolis Tzirakis of Spicy. Till then, you can all enjoy the participation of Iowolve at another anti-Valentine song and video clip of Tus by Spicy Official, the record company of Fivos. Stay tuned and have fun!

Zirconia Starfighter events in Loutraki & Samos GR
Happy New Year everybody! Hope you enjoyed your Christmas and NYE Holidays. I was working almost continuously all these days but, at least a) I got some amazing gifts b) I was all the time with my boyfriend and, partner in life and work c) I got the lucky NYE Santa-Claus-pie coin! Who knows, maybe this year will be a lucky one because it didn't start so well for all of us. I had some bad news close to Christmas and even more sad news last Saturday about the loss of two amazing people I know. The first one was only 19 years old and died in Berlin. The other one, who was an even closer friend of mine, died at the age of 26 because of a heart weakness. Such an irony for a friend with such a pure and noble heart...
The least I could do for them was a short article and a photo-shooting (Golden photo-set by ChronosGR, 4 October 2012 at Priamos Hotel, Athens GR) to dedicate to them. As I didn't manage to inform you sooner about that, I started my own column at a famous Greek site. The name of it is "Memories of an Alternative/Fetish Muse" and the site is Socialistas.gr. I'd like to thank the page owner for his trust in me. I promise I'll do my best! My first interview ever there was here. There will be many more from now on. And, I will share my fetish and alternative memories in this column, including articles, interviews, photo-shootings and a question/answer base.
The first images from the Fairyland of Loutraki (Korinthos GR) are already uploaded and, there are more to come. You can just click on the above image (banner) and enjoy them. I shared almost twenty amazing days there (from the 15th of December 2012 till the 12th of January 2013) with some amazing friends and co-workers, plus my boyfriend who was working there as a magician (illusionist). I have to admit that Iowolve Loki didn't just amaze all the kids there but all the adults as well! As for me, I also did more than four stage appearances with my new, magical, fairy-fire show. The truth is though, that the audience got even more excited by my Grinding Party-Monster show, in which I mostly dress as an extra-terrestrial. I gave some pre-shows before the Nevma concert at the 31st of December and I closed the concerts of Paul Dee and Stefany Lo at the 24th as a "headliner". The organizators did the best they could as the weather was not helping us so much for many important days there. At the end of course everything was fine and you should all stay tuned for more amazing pictures from Photo-Graphics Center.
I prepare even more concepts for this year's new shootings of mine, for some awesome Greek companies and artists. Stay tuned and learn about my news on my online calendar, or by following me on Twitter. I should also metnion that I created a Tumblr account as well, so, feel free to follow me. Something new is also coming in February, which I will announce later. Till then, I continue with the TVDOO team, the television, the graphics and of course, the parties.
I am leaving for Samos island tomorrow as I am gonna stay there for eleven continuous days of shows, along with Maria Soy. I will be back close to the 25th of January. I have no idea where is this crisis-thing going but, I am thankful at least that I saw a litle snow this year and I spent some lovely, cosy time with the peope who trully love me. I have many reasons to be still happy here and I will keep on trying for the best. Besides, I am a *Star*fighter!...
