Burlesque Gala!


Oh well, I've been so much away from the internet lately that posts are coming a bit late, but please bear with me! Let's take a little step back on the time machine, to the 20.10. Saturday night.

The night was full of clouds of glitter, seamed stockings, corsets, stunning glamour and wonderful people, in other words burlesque  Me and Hanna were together on the move again, this time in the dazzling Finnish Burlesque Gala Night that was held in the historical restaurant of Kaisaniemi. We didn't shimmy shimmy shake our booties on the stage, but we did work that night, selling shirts and chatting with the audience. Our cute title for the night was the old time Tobacco girls, and here's our costumes! We did the hats and the mods ourselves, glueing the final details to the last minutes as always. ;) If I ever make preparations perfectly in time, mark my words: it will be a bizarre event..


dress ~ Criminal Damage + DIY  / hat ~ DIY  /  boots ~ Minna Parikka  /  seamed stockings ~ What Katie Did
girdle ~Cherise  /  gloves ~ 2nd hand / tutu ~ Hanna's / belt ~ my sister's
tired and happy at 3 a.m.!


Sadly I don't have any pictures of the wonderful-as-always performers since I was mostly working, no time for swaying in the front row with a camera. All the glimpses we got were amazing though, I really love this underworld of glamour, tassels, joy and imagination. 


Kisses and hugs for everyone that I met that night, if you're reading this!

    1. Kiitos paljon! :) Asuista tuli ihan yllättävänkin paljon kehaisuja illan aikana, itse mietittiin että näytetään hälyttävän paljon symbaaliapinoilta. :D Mutta siis toki itsekin tykättiin asuista, mielikuva vaan nauratti!

    1. Nope. :) I can go without it for about a week and it still doesn't close up, it's just a little tighter.

  5. I love burlesque! It's the sexiest form of art ever. There's a burlesque performer in polish edition of 'Got Talent'. Betty Q as far as I remember. It's nice that even people who had seen it for the very first time appreciated it.

    1. I'm glad to hear that! I love the way the performers love their bodies, and it's wonderful to see all shapes and sizes on the stage. There were people in the audience that had never seen burlesque before, it was lovely to see how much they enjoyed it. :)
