MOTORBIKES, THE DAMNED AND PUSSY GALORE!!

After spending 3 days in my sick bed last week on Friday I trotted off to London town to perform at "Pussy Galore"  two dinner shows at Volupte! I love performing at this show and it always has FAB line ups! Friday's line up included Cherry Shakewell, Gracie, Will Davis and Craig The Incredible Hula Boy!

 On Saturday I met my pal Vicky Butterfly for brunch at my favorite diner in London "All Star Bowling Lanes" Brock Lane. It was great to have a girlie catch up!

I then dashed across to Camden to see my Man and my pals The Damned play The Roundhouse for their 35th Anniversary tour! (Dave is the Damned's Drum Tech!). I had a great view from the VIP balcony and I liked the venue allot! It was great to see everyone and spend some time with Dave as I do miss him terribly when he is on tour!

 After a late night with The Damned I had to catch a train at 8am on Sunday to get to the "Classic Motor Show" at the NEC in Birmingham! I was a promoting the AJS & Matchless 2012 Club Calender in which I feature (alongside Vicky Butterfly). My fellow promo gal for the day was the lovely Sherry Trifle! We had a fun day wandering around the event looking at (& sitting on) classic Cars and bikes! We also got to draw the raffle which had an amazing classic Matchless motorbike as the prize! I was also delighted to feature in two larger than life promo posters on the stand!

A fun filled weekend but boy was I knackered today! It was also Remembrance weekend and I wore my poppy with pride and thought about the fallen who fought for our country. I also thought about my Grandad (WWII) and Great Grandad (WWI) who both served for our country.

I also found this blog by Kitten Von Mew a very interesting read about people cashing in on Poppys: http://ww2-vintage-pinup-girl.com/2011/11/11/remembrance-day-poppy-appeal/

I will also be appearing at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC in Birmingham this Sunday 13th where the Calenders will also be available to buy!

Unfortunately Vicky will not be present at this event but I will have the beautiful Sherry Trifle as a sidekick!

Here is a sneak peek of the calender:

THE DOMESTIC BURLESQUE BOOK

The AMAZING "Domestic Burlesque" coffee table photography book by Elsa Quarsell was released last Thursday. I am more than delighted to have been a part for this fantastic project!

The book contains over 100 Performers shot in their own homes and alongside their personal items. It is a fascinating insight into fellow performers lives and personality's! I LOVE looking at other peoples homes and collections etc. so this book is a dream for me to read!

You can get your copy here: http://thedomesticburlesque.com/buy.htm

Below you can see my spread and shots of my home that feature though out the book. I have also added a couple of my personal favorite portraits of others too!

HALLOWEEN IN PARIS!

Yesterday I flew to Paris to perform at "Burlesque-O-Ween" my 7th and final Halloween show this year!! Phew! It was a bit of a stress the night before I flew though as I was informed my flight was cancelled due to the Air France strikes that are going on right now, but after only....5 phone calls I was put on a later flight that same afternoon!

When I arrived I made my way straight to the venue for the show, which was a super cute little studio theater near Belleville.

Poster Girl!

I was performing alongside Miss Anne Thropy, Lexi Sexx, Charly Vodoo, Murena Pink, Pomme D'Amour and Mademoiselle Loison and it was a really fun show and a perfect way to celebrate Halloween! We then partied into the wee small hours!

 This morning I went for brunch with my hostess the lovely Emilie before I headed off to the airport. I was staying at her lovely apartment in Belleville. The legend is that Edith Piaf was born on a cold winter day of December 1915 on the pavement of 72 of rue Belleville in the heart of the working class immigrant neighborhood. I was staying just a few doors down! 

We had coffee at the super cool "Aux Folie's Bellville" cafe and food at "Le Royal Bellville".

At the airport I treated myself to a caramel and sea salt Macaron from "Laduree" while I waited! What a lovely Halloween! I had to overcome a "Trick" but once I was there it was all "Treats"! Till next year.....

My Macaron!
