Stage Fright

My best friend - and landlady - Fanny started a project she calls Stage Fright a few months ago. As she loves the sparkling world of burlesque, but actually have stage fright, she decided to put part of herself on stage by sewing costumes for other burlesque dancers instead. And so her project began... Fanny has a degree in Fashion Design and is very talented at coming up with ideas for incredible costumes! As we both know many burlesque dancers, she quickly got a full sewing-schedule, as many of them wanted costumes created by her. These last few months the apartment has looked like burlesque heaven, with sequins, pearls and feathers flying around everywhere! Here are some of her amazing creations, designed, sewn, and meticulously decorated - often by hand - by herself...

Hat for me!!! I didn't even ask for this, she just made it anyway!

As you can see, Fanny makes creations that doesn't have to be used on stage too. If you feel like you need a costume, fancy dress, or maybe a hat, you can always contact Fanny on her Facebook page Stage Fright here! 

Fräulein Frauke Presents - Hooray For Hollywood!

Last Saturday it was time for me to get up on stage and throw my clothes off again! And this time I was actually a bit nervous! Most of you probably know about Fräulein Frauke's amazing burlesque events by now, since I blog about them every time they take place. The difference this time though, was that I wasn't going there "just" as a guest, but I had been invited to perform too! The theme of the party this time was Hooray For Hollywood, and Fräulein Frauke wanted me to do my Diamonds Are Forever act.

As usual, the party took place at Nalen, and I was the first one on stage, warming up the audience in a smaller room called Harlem, before the doors opened to the main stage. I had to change my act a little to fit it to the small stage, but everything went well, and I felt really good dancing around in pink light, surrounded by an amazing audience and the beautiful atmosphere of Nalen, which is decorated in late 19th century style.

Next on stage was Yvette Les Fesses, who took her clothes off while singing a song I love - Put The Blame On Mame form the 1946 film Gilda.

On the big stage Elegy Ellem stepped out in a very...um...cute Jabba the Hut costume. But behold! Out of Jabba then emerged...

...Princess Leia! Fabulous!

Fräulein Frauke and Velma Voluptuous did a sparkling duett from the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes...

...La Viola Vixen shook he tassels...

...Coco Belle stapeled pink feathers to her/his ass...

...Fräulein Frauke did her wonderful Carmen Miranda inspired act...

...Comedian Wes Zaharuk made us all laugh...

...and conférencière Ophelia Bitz tied the show together with amazing wit and a wonderful voice!

After performing I changed into what I call my Ghost Dress from the late 40s, and partied away! My mother and here sister came to se me strip for the first time, and they both liked my performance. At least that's what they said... Hehe...

Fräulein Frauke wore a very pretty dress, that I just wanted to rip off her and take with me home! All the guests looked amazing too! Dressed to the nines to fit the Hollywood theme! As usual I can't wait for Fräulein Frauke's next burlesque event, and am waiting with anticipation to find out what the theme for that party will be!

Even though I always look forward to Fräulein Frauke's extravagant burlesque events, I look forward to the next one a little bit more than usual... The theme this time is old Hollywood glamour, and I happen to be one of thee entertainers on stage this time!

The event will - as usual - take place at Nalen, and the date to get your tickets for is August 31st! Besides for moi, there will of course be a whole bunch of fabulous performers:

Mrs. Murphy's House Warming Party

Downstairs at the beautiful Berns in Stockholm lies the erotic shop Pom Pom Parlour. Mrs. Murphy had decided to move in there, and last Friday she had her house waring party!

I wore a black pencil skirt from Daisy Dapper and a corset Fanny gave me once for helping her in her ex vintage shop. Peeking out of the corset is the underwire bra from Dita von Teese's Von Follies collection.

Bracelets and earring I had made myself with pearls from Swarovski.

The evening started with drinks in Ljusgården (The Light Yard), where the bartenders looked stylish in their white bathrobes.

Then we went down in the basement - and Mrs. Murphy's new home - which she had decorated very nicely!

She handed out streamers to pop, and small champagne bottles with bubbles to blow - here demonstrated by gorgeous Lenore Caine. Then the party began...

...and me and the girls made ourself at home in Mrs. Murphy's "apartment"! Here are Tifa, Lenore, Elegy Ellem and Ida.

Of course Ellem had to lick something, so she went for one of the big, inflated champagne bottles. She also licked my teeth. But that was after I licked hers. She had a bit of lipstick on one tooth, and I just wanted to help her. Um...Anyway...

I found a nice epée in Mrs. Murphy's lodgings, but I managed to go through the whole evening without killing anyone, so I guess I did good! As usual when it comes to Mrs. Murphy, it was a fabulous evening, and I hope I'll get invited to her "party apartment" again some time!

Virose Affair

Many of my friends model latex clothes. That has never really been my style - until I actually met these friends, and saw the gorgeous, luscious result of their latex photo shoots! I wouldn't wear it to any event. But I would love model it on the runway, or for a photo shoot - and I would certainly wear it to the right party, now that I know how good it can look if designed the right way...

...Which brings us to today's post! Two of my friends, and fellow models at Nocturnal Agency, have just started their own latex company! The two girls in question are Elegy Ellem and Miss Loulou, and their latex brand is called Virose Affair. Here comes a peek of these two talented ladies designs:
