HIGH TEASE!

Phew what a busy weekend! ..... so I will start at the beginning! On Friday I was performing at the MoB's "High Tease" in Bath! Over the years I have performed at many of the Ministry's events but I really have a soft spot for the Bath show! I LOVE wandering around the city, the venue (Komedia) is lovely & usually the cast have a fun "after party" in the performers flat! This time I was accompanied by my lovely Dave and as we had to head home after the show we didn't partake in the after show shenanigans! (He also took the lovely live shots below!)

The line up for this show was Mat Ricardo, Kitty Devine, Coco Malone, Ivy Page & brilliant Dare Cullen Jones!

SHAKEDOWN!

On Sunday I enjoyed a day at "The Shakedown" rock n roll weekender with Dave, Sarah & James. It was a lovely hot day and we watched some hot rod racing, looked at some stalls and listened to some music! It was fun and a nice way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon with friends!

PUSSY GALORE!

Last Friday & Saturday I was back in London Town performing at "Pussy Galore" at Volupte! There was an early & late show on both Friday and Saturday so it was a pretty full on weekend of performances!

Volupte is a custom designed cabaret club and have shows on every night of the week! I remember going for drinks in Volupte when it first opened but years later this was my first time actually performing in it!

 The show's theme was all things James Bond (in case you didn't get that!) and on Friday night the line up was Agent Lynch, Mat Ricardo, Paul Roberts, Gracie & myself. It was great to catch up with Agent Lynch and reminisce about our Bollywood adventure in India back in 2008!

 On Saturday I had the day free so wandered around Brick Lane looking for treasure in the vintage shops and having brunch in my fave Diner (All Star Lanes).

Volupte have a "wall of fame" leading down to the dressing room adorned with all the performers they have had grace their stage! I was pleased to add my name!

BAROQUE

Last Tuesday I went to London to film "BAROQUE" the newest project from the amazingly talented film maker Ruth Paxton.

I am extremely proud to have been involved in another of her masterpieces and I am looking forward to seeing the final results. The film is a commission of the Milan Letters Festival and will premier in Milan in October.

WET SPOT!

On Friday I performed at a fab little night called "Cabaret Silencio" at The Grapes in Bristol! It was a great fun and nice to be up close with a small appreciative crowd. It was also an added bonus that I could come home after the gig and sleep in my own bed! That is a very rare thing for me after a gig!

On Saturday I made the trek to Leeds for "The Wet Spot", as I have mentioned before it is one of my favorite  shows to do and the line up last night was spectacular! I was performing alongside Anna Fur Laxis, Beatrix Von Bourbon, Slinky Sparkles, Danni California, Mat Ricardo & Joe Black! The crowd were fab too as always! I was also delighted to be the poster girl for this show (artwork by the fab Charlotte Thomson).

It was a extra special treat to see Ann Fur Laxis's fantastic new act "The Prestige" which won 1st Runner Up at Miss Exotic World 2011 last month! It is really something live!

BOOGALOO!

Yesterday I was performing at the wonderful "No Strings Boogaloo" in Norwich! After a long 5 hour train ride (or three!) I arrived in Sunny Norwich and had a look around the lovely venue (Norwich Arts Center) which is an old Church, it even had tombstones in the floor of the main room dance floor! Think it was the first time I have ever danced on top of graves!

I was performing alongside the beautiful Beau Rocks and it was lovely to hang out and get to know each other better!
