Hello internet lovelies
Well not posted up yet this week as Dr J. has had a few days
off work and we decided to get on with a few well overdue tasks, like booking
our wedding date with the registrar for next autumn, and getting a little more
organised with the wedding. Sadly our
first choice for evening venue is a no go, so it’s back to the drawing board
for that one, but at least we know we have the date and a registrar and after
all that is the main bit of the whole show. And also we have been having all sorts of internet problems that have held this post up, but you can't keep a good woman down so here we are.
Also another reason for Dr J. having the time off now was to
recover from Candy Box Burlesque, the final meltdown, on Sunday. It was brilliant, marvellous and ace. Some lovely lady even recognised my corset
from on here, which is jolly nice. The
show was spectacular and I especially liked Rod Laver who did an act on his own
in the first half juggling Ping-Pong balls out of his mouth and then came out
with his partner Alexandra Hofgartner for the second half and did a lovely cabaret act to involving Ping-Pongs and burlesque with Imelda-May singing "Missed Me" by the Dreson Dolls, beautifully I have to say. One of the things that Candy Box prided
itself on, quite rightly too, is that all its act are accompanied by The World Famous Palookaville Orchestra, live music and live acts (bit obvious on that second one,
but you get the gist.) Actually I remember a joke by a stand-up comedian once,
can’t recall who, “Live girls dancing, what not Stiffs on a String” or
something to that effect. Probably better in context, or at least in my head.
Anyway the acts were fab and then afterwards there was
chance to catch up with friends we had not seen for a long time and also a
little bit of marketing and new ideas for different directions, steampunk and
outfits for burlesque dancers, pasties take up hardly any material. They are
the things that cover up a lady’s, or gent’s nipples. As a matter of interest the reason burlesque is
not striptease, is that the acts do not get completely naked, always having
what are considered the really rude bits covered. There are some burlesques that go down the
smutty route and some that go down the deviant path, but the ones I go to are
good old musical hall entertainment at heart, and great fun.
Now sadly due to a bag misjudgment, it's a little on the small side, I was unable to take my phone out with me and consequently had no camera, but once I get a photo of me from someone else I will post one up, in the mean time here are my accessories, all made by me and available to purchase or custom made in any colour or material.Be lovely for a winter wedding.
So Candy Box over and done, and also at the weekend, Moselele
did our first Christmas gig, and we are now firmly into December so I feel
quite justified in getting the lovely Christmas feeling tinged with small glow
of excitement that will no doubt grow over the next few weeks. This will be the first Christmas in our new
home and also the first time in a joint home so we are trying our best to get the
last of the DIY done and as I type this Dr J. is putting shelves up.
Yesterday I completed one of the cabinets and almost finished the other just
waiting for the glass glue to set, both eBay finds and we're very pleased with
them. Turned out lovely, with a bit of love and restoration. Actually due to internet delays, glass is now set and the cabinet reassembled so it is also included in the photos.Back to normal service next week, with some more on the bullet bra front.
hugs and kisses
