Iridessence: New Orleans-based aesthete and burlesque performer. Woman, happily fat. I am absolutely divine and so are you! For photos of me, search "mignonne" on my blog. Enjoy your stay, however ephemeral, in this virtual and virtuous space, a portal into the flowery corners of my mind.My darker side blog is @luxus-aeterna. This is not a kink blog so please be mindful when reblogging. I spend a lot of time and effort on my original work so if you feel so generously inclined, my Venmo is @iridessence.
