Helbf14 outfit


Hello there, I've been lost in time and space for a while. Here's a look from last weekend's Helsinki burlesque festival, brought to you by my camera phone, so the quality is what it is. The theme for this year's festivities was Tropical Tornado, not the easiest theme when you glance at my wardrobe's oh-so colorful view, so imagination had to try some little magic tricks here and there! But venomous insects and black velvet nights are very tropical, right? 

(the spider in the hat is a gift from Bodyjewelleryshop, other things are old second hand purchases and DIY.)


I didn't have a photo pass for the festival and there's only so much a phone can do, so instead of photographing I concentrated wholeheartedly on enjoying the brilliant shows and working. We had a part in taking care of VIP lounges with my friend, felt so nice to help even a little. I wish I could come up with something else than simple words like "amazing" or "awesome" to portray the stage numbers, but you'd have to see them for yourselves to catch the magic. Loads of respect for the performers, so much love and creativity had been poured into those acts and it showed.

Each year the festival gets bigger, but still somehow succeeds in maintaining a warm atmosphere. Madly imaginative costumes and beautiful, beautiful people. I can't even begin to think how many exotic hair flowers were on the venue this year, but I sure thought about counting them at one point! So glad for meeting some of my readers there, I hope to see you there next year as well!

  1. Venomous critters do strike my mind when thinking tropical-- so in that sense you're right! heheh
    You're beautiful (and deadly), as usual ;)

    1. Thank you! You're right, it's silly to demand too much from myself but I do like to keep photo quality at even some proper level. :)

  4. Oijjoi! Mahtista että pääsit tommosta touhuileen! :D
    Nättinä olet ollut ja kiva nähdä vähän veikeetä hymykuvaakin. ;)
    On muuten tosi kiva joskus keskittyä vaan tapahtumaan, kun tuntuu, että liian usein se menee kuvien räpsimiseen ja ihan yleinen oleskelu jää vähän vähemmälle, ei ole yhtä rennosti.

    Ite aina missaan nämä, kun on sellaiseen aikaan, ettei ole varaa juosta Helsingin suunnalla koko ajan. No, ehkä ensi kerralla. On kyllä niin sellainen juttu mihin on pakko päästä! <3

    1. Thihi, kiitos! En vaan osaa omasta mielestä yhtään kuvissa ellei se tule tuolleen iloisen spontaanisti. Joillekin on suotu missihymyn lahjat, mulle ei. :D

      Mä jotenkin yleensä jätän keikka- ja bilekuvailut nykyään vähemmälle, täysi läsnäolo ja tapahtumasta nauttiminen on paljon tärkeämpää puuhaa. Toki muistoja on hyvä napsia, mutta pelkkä dokumentointiin keskittyminen tuntuu surulliselta.Ja burleskibileissä on aina hauskaa, kannattaa ehdottomasti tulla joskus! :)

  5. Jälleen kaunis asukokonaisuus, tappavat hyönteiset toimii teemaan täydellisesti! Näin teidät useaankin otteeseen lauantaina mutta en kuitenkaan kehdannut tulla moikkaamaan joten tyydyin ihailemaan etäältä. :)
    Mieletön show, vuoden tauko tuntuu kovin pitkältä.

    1. Hehe, thank you! Absence makes the heart grow fonder, or something like that. :> But to be honest, it's hard to blog nowadays, when my computer is three steps away from destruction.

    1. Thank you, so nice to hear that! I had to get a darker approach on the subject, as the usual tiki things and bright florals aren't really my thing. ;)
