IT'S MARTINI TIME!

Yesterday I hopped on a train to Liverpool to perform at the wonderful "Martini Lounge" which is produced by the lovely Millie Dollar! It was a sell out show and the venue was the stunning Epstein Theatre!


The Epstein Theatre


I was performing alongside a cast of good pals which was a really nice perk to the job, after a very stressful week at home! The line up included Millie Dollar, Kitty Bang Bang, Coco Malone, Velma Von Bon Bon and Fred Bear! I was so glad I got to see the debut of Velma's newest act with her double act partner Fandango! So creative, beautifully thought through and funny!

Backstage hi-jinks!
I enjoyed  a couple of drinks and a catch up after the show with the gang and then retired to my hotel so I could catch an early train to have some Sunday chillout time at home!

I would also like to say a big WELL DONE to my man for his bronze medal that he brought home from his Ju-Jutsu competition! 

And last but not least GET WELL SOON PAPA, who dislocated and broke his thumb yesterday...

FOUR SHOWS IN TWO DAYS...

Last Friday I hopped a train to London for the start of a very busy weekend of shows! I had three shows on this night alone!! (That means performing x5 acts)....phew! The first show was the early dinner show "Pussy Galore" (Pussy Galoreat Volupte. I love performing at this glam James Bond themed show and was also performing in the late dinner show later that night, I shared the stage with the wonderful Cherry Shakewell, Gracie, Tom Balmont and Madame Galina!

In between the two dinner shows I dashed across town to the beautiful Cafe De Paris to perform at the uber chic "La Reve" (www.lareve.co.ukand made it just in the nick of time! Here is a live shot (below) taken on Friday by the awesome Jaeger Jensen www.jaegerjensen.com.

SALUTE MILANO!

Last Friday I jetted to Italy to perform at a special Champagne event for Laurent-Perrier at Cru 14 in Savona! I was performing alongside the beautiful Janet Fishietto and the entertainment was provided by my good friends Voodoo Deluxe (www.voodoodeluxe.com) It was a lovely intimate little soiree with very lovely food and Champagne on offer! I had a fun time performing but accidental smashed a Champagne flute on stage during my first routine...Oops!

JUBILATIONS!

This week was jam packed full of fun stuff! On Tuesday I was performing at a Jubilee event at a primary school in London ....doing my ring mistress stilt walkabout I must add! It was great fun and performing to 360 screaming children was definitely an experience! The best compliment I received was "You look like a witch!".

Then on Thursday I travelled to Nottingham to shoot with the awesome "Flashes & Lashes" www.flashesandlashes.com which was awesome fun as always! We shot some great creative stuff including a vintage pin up costume I bought recently and some awesome make up by Sali Miss Moo Make up!

On Friday I travelled to Birmingham and spent a perfect day shooting with my good pal and amazing photographer Lisa - Cherry Bomb Rock Photography - www.cherrybombrock.com. We shot some great new promo shot including a vintage burlesque costume I bought and I LOVED the hairdo Lisa created for me!

Here is a couple of sneak peeks from both shoots!
