Burleskloppis 6.0 - Stockholm Burlesque Festival

On the last day of the International Stockholm Burlesque Festival I went up at 5:30 am to get ready to both work and perform at the sixth Burleskloppis (Burlesque Flea Market), which this time collaborated with the burlesque festival.




After spending a few hours moving around tables and chairs, and getting the place ready for the flea market, the sellers started arriving with all their stuff. Some of the very stylish people trying to make more room in their closets were photographer Emmelie Åslin and model Calamity Amelie... 




...Fanny and Ruby Luscious...









As I'm addicted to Swarovski crystals, I really liked Push La Kokett's extravagant jewelry. 



But no burlesque flea market is complete without some burlesque performances, so here is the mastermind and organizer behind the market herself - Marika Smith - introducing the performers, which were:
















And me!


It was great to finally be able to premiere my "Moonlight Sonata" act, and I hope to do it again soon - preferably in a dark place with good stage lightning, so the audience can see the sparkle of all those goddamn 7200 Swarovski crystals I spent a "few" hours gluing to my costume. Haha! After performing it was back to work at the flea market for me, and at the end the day I felt a bit like a zombie... But I love being part of Burleskloppis, and this time of the whole burlesque festival. I had such a good time!

New Burlesque Act!

So, as I told you before, the International Stockholm Burlesque Festival is going to take place here in Stockholm next weekend. I'll be performing during Burleskloppis 6.0 on Sunday, and for this occasion I have created a new burlesque act, called Moonlight Sonata. It will be a homage to my favorite celestial globe - the moon - and a while ago I teamed up with photographer Jan Persson to take some pictures of it. Here is the result!








There will be lovely music, lots of sparkles, feather fans, and - as usual - pointe shoes. I'll be on stage at 3 pm, so come see me and some other lovely ladies take our clothes off, at the same time you can do some real bargains at the flea market!
