Boldly Stripped 2: A New Trek-Inspired Photo Book

Progress Report, Captain!
about 1 month ago – Wed, May 13, 2026 at 07:38:23 PM

Greetings Crew,

Hazel here with an update from Boldly Stripped HQ! Our last update was in late January, so you may be wondering: what have we been up to??

So much! First up was our photo shoot from a galaxy far, far away: a sultry pair of Twi'leks! We enlisted the help of the talented and gorgeous Ashlynne Dae to be our second model, some amazing LA-based makeup artists, and a studio in LA that had built the perfect cantina set! We're incredibly happy with the results, and you can check out a few sneak peeks that we posted over on our Instagram page for May the Fourth!

Next up was another guest fandom: Barbarella! I had so much fun creating her wild chainmail outfit and props, and we found a gorgeous retro vibe set in LA to shoot it. Now if she can only get away from those crazy dolls...

After that we headed home to the Star Trek universe and jumped back in time to check in on the evolution of a certain information-hungry probe, and see what Ilia has been up to. Decker definitely made the right choice!

Most recently, we traveled out to the far reaches of space to meet up with a steamy siren of the Mobile Infantry, patrolling on Planet P. She's doing her part! 

I hope all of you are doing well, and I want to thank you again for continuing to help me create my ridiculous dreams come true! We are currently still on track for our estimated publishing date, but we still have a lot to do! It would mean the world to us if you continue to share this project with your friends.

And if you're going to STLV, come say hi! I'll be hanging with the Inglorious Treksperts at their booth and around the con - make sure you don't miss all their amazing programming on the Treksperts stage!

Until next time, 

-- Hazel Honeysuckle

Photo Shoot Progress Updates
5 months ago – Wed, Jan 28, 2026 at 11:50:08 PM

Greetings Crew,

We hope you all enjoyed your holidays and are having a good New Year! We've continued to make progress with new photo shoots, costumes, props etc. and wanted to share these updates with you all.

We partnered with the current reigning Queen of Burlesque, Jessabelle Thunder, for some Mirror Universe hijinks. Find out what these vixens get up to when the Tantalus Field is shut off...

These little outfits were so fun to create, and of course they were complete with Hazel-made Terran Empire badges, fringed gold sashes, and the ever-useful Terran dagger - perfect for when you're due for a promotion!

Creating the Romulan look required some costume engineering, but was so rewarding! It took me a LOT of searching, but I finally learned the secret of the Romulan harnesses - Dri-Dek floor mats! I also custom-printed AND quilted the fabric for the uniform jacket, and even made little wedge-pillow shoulder pads to get that proud Romulan profile.

With the help of the makeup magic of Ashley Ballou and a custom wig cut, the look was complete! (Yes, I do still have my Trek Xmas Tree up in my house!)

Next up, in just a couple of weeks, we have back-to-back shoots in Los Angeles, featuring two different guest fandoms and another guest model, Ashlynne Dae!

Until next time, LLAP!

xoxo, Hazel

Volume 1 Shipping Soon, Ferengi Fun, and More

Greetings Crew,

We've been keeping busy over at Boldly Stripped HQ since the end of our Kickstarter campaign, and we're here with a few fun updates!

A couple of weeks ago, we completed our Ferengi photo shoot, complete with live tube grubs and snail juice. It was a beautifully rainy day on Ferenginar!

As we mentioned before, we are using BackerKit to fulfill your generous pledges. We have also launched a Pre-Order store for anyone who missed the Kickstarter campaign.

Most of you have already filled out your BackerKit surveys, but for those who haven't, look for an email from [email protected] (and check your spam folder)! If you already filled out your survey but want to make changes, you can still do that by clicking the link in your survey email again. If you have any questions go to our FAQ/Help page on BackerKit.

For backers who chose the "Ship Early" option on their surveys, we'll be shipping Volume 1 books next week. We have also sent out Volume 1 Digital Books to everyone who ordered one! These and all other books are still available in our Pre-Order Store.

What else has been going on? Our next shoots are scheduled for December, and in the meantime, we're continuing to make costumes and props, gather supplies, and scout locations. We received our Gorn head and hands from FX Conservator Tony Hardy, who used the ORIGINAL MOLDS from the original series!
