The monthly show consists of Cooper with her country band Cooper and Her Daddy Issues (such a great name!). She sings and does striptease, but she also MCs, talks, jokes and tells stories. She has dancers come on stage to strip while Cooper and the band do great old country tunes, plus some of Cooper's own songs. It's so fab and joyous. This time the show was graced by the...]]></description><link>https://www.cammiet.com/post/backstage-at-madam-cooper-s-country-cabaret</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ac69eac4f0ef59df1e3f8a3</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 20:30:04 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78ac2d_c82bd2bbc6a84020b7d3b6dfcd61f700~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Cammie Toloui</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Paris-Bound]]></title><description><![CDATA[I'm excited to announce that my new work from Mary's Club will have its international debut in Paris at Shmorévaz Gallery this November! (Screenshot from the Photo St. Germain website) In early 2025 I began an informal artist residency at Mary's Club, Portland's oldest and most beloved strip club. I wanted to continue exploring the male gaze from a unique perspective, and I needed to figure out how to handle issues of consent in a very dark, crowded strip club. After some research I decided...]]></description><link>https://www.cammiet.com/post/paris-bound</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ab6ba1e26fe68309c05fa9f</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Sep 2026 19:03:48 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78ac2d_382f7aad17254d6fa7323e65c2113545~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Cammie Toloui</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[    The World Naked Bike Ride]]></title><description><![CDATA[In July, thousands of naked people converged on a park in Portland, Oregon for this annual bike riding protest/party. (The event website says they get between 7,000 and 10,000 riders!). After a few hours of naked merriment at the launch site in the park, the bicyclists head out at dusk for the 7 or 8 mile ride to an undisclosed location in town. From there, cyclists either put on clothes and head home or they break away for after-parties. Last year I showed up to the launch fully clothed with...]]></description><link>https://www.cammiet.com/post/the-world-naked-bike-ride</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a95f6ae36df210911ba55b0</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 23:07:01 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78ac2d_bc6ee7d1a99746e4a2aca9ec00ff76bb~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Cammie Toloui</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Backstage with "Dolly": the Cast Prepares to Bring the Sparkle and the Spectacle]]></title><description><![CDATA[These days one of my favorite people to photograph is Madam Cooper. She has a lot of irons in the fire, and she's been very generously allowing me to take pictures of all that she's up to. Last week I got to go backstage to photograph her and the gorgeous cast of Dolly! at the Can Can Theater. The notorious theater dates back to 1890, and has recently been bought, renovated and opened as a place where you can get dinner and drinks while watching exciting burlesque, acrobatics, dance, singing...]]></description><link>https://www.cammiet.com/post/backstage-with-dolly-the-cast-prepares-to-bring-the-sparkle-and-the-spectacle</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a7298a1277d47c355d1bab3</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Aug 2026 19:17:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78ac2d_ec702c76b4c7495e8171582550696a8f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Cammie Toloui</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dong Show at Madam Cooper's Parlor]]></title><description><![CDATA[Every Thursday night at Madam Cooper's you'll find the (often sold-out) Dong Show male revue. What you get: a couple of hot cowboy studs strutting it, shaking it and flirting with the all-genders crowd, plus the talented Madam Cooper singing and strutting while the Klondike Kid serves cocktails at the bar. It's a wild time. The night I went, I was very kindly allowed to photograph Halo, Cowboy and Madam Cooper as they prepared for the show.

This month is the final iteration, showing artists exhibited between 2015 and 2025. That includes me!

A champion for women and sex workers, a singer, songwriter, burlesque performer, stripper, entrepreneur and, most recently, the first female rodeo clown in the professional league. And for me personally, she is my friend and my muse. We met a few years ago at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland. My show The Lusty Lady, was on the walls and I had just finished my artist talk when she approached me and said...]]></description><link>https://www.cammiet.com/post/getting-ready-with-madam-cooper</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3082b137ff99aaf1a6aaef</guid><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 23:17:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78ac2d_85511c918c84460c818a3139c3245069~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_824,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Cammie Toloui</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fun with Banjo at Mary's Club]]></title><description><![CDATA[Last month on my birthday weekend, I had the pleasure of going back to Mary's Club, Portland's oldest and most beloved strip club, to make some new photos with Banjo. I had photographed Banjo at Mary's months before using my thermal imaging camera, but this time I brought my Canon DLSR. We were both so happy to be making pictures together, and she's such a natural, plus she's fun, amazing on the pole and incredibly beautiful. I adore her and love our collaborations.

I bet you came here after first trying to find me on a social media platform. Yes, there is an account on IG called @cammietoloui, but that's a woman in Russia who uses my name as her alias and posts pictures of her cats. It's a long story... Like lots of photographers, I joined IG as a fun way to show my daily snaps, connect with friends, see what they were shooting and perhaps what they were...]]></description><link>https://www.cammiet.com/post/hello-here-s-why-you-can-t-find-me-on-social-media</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a2c4b2fac42b101a9d49113</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78ac2d_bc9b6bc4df06421b84163f7f877c6873~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Cammie Toloui</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
