I’ve often wondered how you explain the world of burlesque and those that dress up, come and participate in an increasing number of evenings to those who have no idea what it’s like. Those who have preconceptions of it being about being sleazy, low or nasty…
How about this?
It’s feathers and fedoras, impossibly ornate corsets and multi-buttoned jackets and cravats, canes and elegance and a want to evoke a long gone era of something else. It’s showgirls and gentlemen in sharp suits and manners and theatre and looking as fabulous as you can while sipping the fruits of pitchers of cocktails. It’s glamour and effort and everyone looking the absolute best they do, ever.
They are always the best nights out to be had.
Last night, even though a few regulars were otherwise engaged, the blogger subgroup of the burlesque world expanded again with a group that, at various times, included Daz, Lottie, Peter, Jen, Sinead, RPs, Bngr, Ciaraweddingdates… Did I miss anyone?
There had been talk that the next event was in April but now that looks a little further away, shame that.
But, as always, everything is best explained through pictures…
What about the Lovely Kitty Cat - http://redlemonade.blogspot.com/
How do I bloody link things in here?
yes, you can’t forget the fabilis Kitty Cat!
you fiend well i just hope she doesn’t see this for your sake mister!!!!
I did, I did…. And quite fabilis she was too!! I’ve personally apologised Tcup…
Still loving the sight of Lottie wandering around all night meowing to ladies in red in the hope that one of them might be her. There were a fair few baffled faces
Indeed, we’re all friends here! Poor miaowing Lottie, it all worked out in the end though!
@Rick - it wasn’t all night.
@Kitty Cat - Well it was more your investigation skills than mine that brought us together in the end.
Haha, in fairness I did have a headstart seeing as I knew what you looked like though!
Er…. Uhm…. Eh…. And we all forgot Little Miss!!! Even if she is temporarily lapsed…
