Burlesqueer

On Friday January 18, me and Elegy Ellem packed some poisoned wine and her Tommy Gun and went to Burlesqueer - Femme Fatale, at Bonden Bar in Stockholm. Ellem had been asked to create a burlesque number for the "Femme Fatale" themed event, and she asked me if I wanted to assist her as her maid. Of course I said yes!

This is her Tommy Gun (replica) by the way! I love it, and I want it! It's quite heavy though, and I was glad no one caught Ellem when she was carrying it to the show on the subway, with it's pipe sticking out of the bag...

The storyline of our number was that Ellem comes home from being out murdering some people. I'm her maid, that serves her as best as I can. The problem though, is that Ellem is a self centered diva, who treats me like shit - and I'm very tired of this! So in the end of the number, when she has stripped, I give her some poisoned wine...

...that kills her!!! Sexiest corps I've ever seen, by the way...When she's dead, I then take my apron off, and throw it over her. Then I put her black coat on, and steal her cigaret and Tommy Gun, and walk out. The end!

Of course though, I didn't kill her for real! Since we're hoping to do this number together again, I thought it would be best to keep her around for awhile...Here is us after the show. You don't want to meet us in a dark alley at night. Just sayin'...

And another one. This is how you clean a gun properly!

The rest of the evening was spent drinking and fighting, and I played with Ellem's snake-tongue. That's my finger there...

And here is also a video of our number, shot and edited by Alexander Valenkamph!
