I'm in an Article !

http://sf.untappedcities.com/2011/09/09/suits-to-sequins-burlesque-in-san-francisco/                      

My friend Vanessa Chan wrote a wonderful article on a side of burlesque that the dancers live with everyday, but no on talks too much about. I know for me the subject is something I think about everyday and I may have to deal with at some point. Read the article. It's about career women who are deciding to be burlesque dancers and the consequences they face if it is found out. 

It is so well written and the photography by Green La Fleur is the topping on the cake. There is a beautiful photo of me too!

Go and enjoy the read.

I'm a little bit drunk tonight

I have been drinking on a Tuesday night. This never happens. I'm responsible and never drink during the week. Tonight was an exception,  as I met up with old friends that I love a lot. It was fun.

As I sit here in the dark of my living room, with  slight glaze to my eye and a soft swirl in my head. I realise how much I've been missing burlesque. I have taken a short break, my first one for quite awhile. My paycheck required a break as I headed off to the far off  land of Costa Rica. I have taken 2 months off from performing.

My oh my how I miss it, but besides that I have started to feel less creative. The thought process and the rush of creating a new idea has left me. This is not a good feeling. As I think of ways to counter act this feeling I have come up with..... 1) hunting for a new song to do an act to. 2) I need inspiration and the easiest way to do this is to go and watch some shows. 3) I need to hunt on youtube, seeing these lady's are so inspiring.

my head is fuzzy. I want to dance and I have a song stuck in my head. This is good, this the start.

Some Awesome Photos from an Awesome Show

July 12, 2011 was Hubba Hubba Reviews Tropical Adventure at The Uptown. It was so much fun I drank a sweet, fruity drink with a little umbrella and the stage lights turned into a hot tropical sun and the lady's on stage made the audience get all steamy. I invited you all and those that went know what I'm talking about. Those who didn't....well you suck. Relive those moments with me now or see what you missed out on.

Bombshelly Betty was a sweet and funny bobble hula girl.

Pastie Making Workshop

I had the pleasure of taking Randy Johnson's (on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/2randy )  pastie making workshop a weekend ago. If you are anywhere in San Francisco, then you know that Mr. Johnson is THE pastie MASTER!! His pasties have graced the burlesque stage on many a beauties boobies. Not only does he make ready to wear pasties, he also does custom jobs. His pasties are beautiful, creative, extremely well made and very durable.

If-N-Whendy making hypnotizing pasties

I've been making pasties myself for about two years. But a refresher class was fun and I learned about the best way to make rhinestone pasties. 

Tasty Temptress gluing rhinestones, so pretty!

The Master at work

My first attempt



These are called blanks, the base of a pastie



This workshop went so well, I believe he'll be doing it again. I suggest that if you can, go.

Surf City Burlesque

I have the honor of being part of the group Surf City Burlesque. We are a small group that perform in Santa Cruz. We don't get to perform often so please come out and support us!

On a side note.... I realise I need to be posting more photos! I'm so sorry about that. Also, sadly since I don't have the best camera, I tend to not take photos of what I'm creating....and you've all missed my amazing mermaid costume. Boo!! I'll get better.
