I have always suffered with some sort of social anxiety, whether it's the feeling I'm going to horribly embarrass myself, or that I just don't fit in. I find myself at after parties watching the clock hoping for the safety of home. I'm constantly feeling that I'm the Debbie downer, the party pooper, the burden. Before I know it I'm angry with everyone but mainly angry with myself for these feelings I cannot control. Most people I know deal with these issues through drinking. I'm not a big drinker so there's very little relief other then the occasional escape of a cigarette. With all this being said I have a letter to you, the girl/guy semi-patiently awkwardly waiting on the sidelines. I also have a letter to the friends of this person.</div><div><br></div><div>Dear socially awkward person,</div><div> I know your pain. It's sometimes hard to wrap your head around all the feelings that overwhelm you. Just because you're a perfomer doesn't mean you have to put yourself in that position. It's ok to go home after the show. Listen to your inner voice. It will let you know when you have the ability or not to hang with the after party. When your in a position where you can't leave (there's always the time you carpooled, the time you walked in a not so good neighborhood, the time you have to babysit your drunk friends) seek out the other person in the room sitting awkwardly. They more then likely are in the same boat and would love a little company. Stick with those you know when you can but keep in mind they are also living their lives and no one wants a person sized Fannie pack. Do what you can to find people to have long conversation with to pass the time. That also gives you a chance to build a new relationship. I don't suggest avoiding all after parties, some are chill and some can be the most exciting times of your life. Mainly keep in mind your not alone. When your in a room with one hundred other people there will be at least five with the same issues. Be strong. Try, granted this is one thing I have issues with, but try to keep your attitude in check and don't take it out on your friends for having fun and not worrying about you. The more you work to brake out of your shell the easier these events will be.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Dear friends of the human Fannie pack,</div><div> I know this is Incredibly annoying. I know you more then likely didn't know your close friend dealt with these issues when your friendship started. Hell, you might not have noticed it ever not even now. It's not personal. We love seeing people enjoy themselves. It just gets hard to not. I know it's not on your mind to check to make sure your crew is all doing well. None of that is honestly your problem. But if you do have one of these friends be aware. Be there. Be supportive. If there's a crew take turns. Make sure everyone feels included. Sometimes all it takes is a little chat to calm us down or help us brake of of our shell a bit. Sometimes all we need is a little encouragement. Granted there are times when you might just have to convince us to leave. Don't just think your friend standing away from the crowd is doing to to be the cool guy or to get <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">More attention.

There comes a time in all performers careers when they get what I call "the burly blues". With the amount of performers I keep up with regularly and know personally I've heard some of the hardships that would get anyone down. This is just my story and advice on it.<div><br></div><div> The burlesque industry as I know it is rough. As an onlooker it looks as if we are on top of the world, granted while on stage we are, but underneath it all most of us have internal fights that we have to battle regularly. There's many things from self doubt and self confidence issues to quarrels with other performers and shitty audiences that can make you start to wonder whether the whole thing is worth it. I personally have issues daily over one thing or another and have my entire life.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk4F-5ZnlNTYbwgTKhN2KTPPw4-onQgT73aNRxWeHZGZyDHaHqJp6OC3FG6_NBplfDcv8izPbsAVgcD4jCt99l3MCeQU88X6ekIx3lgHzQ8gA7Z7O06Z-7K119kJ6Xqe7sHQN02SY6ICt1/s640/blogger-image--590417410.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk4F-5ZnlNTYbwgTKhN2KTPPw4-onQgT73aNRxWeHZGZyDHaHqJp6OC3FG6_NBplfDcv8izPbsAVgcD4jCt99l3MCeQU88X6ekIx3lgHzQ8gA7Z7O06Z-7K119kJ6Xqe7sHQN02SY6ICt1/s640/blogger-image--590417410.jpg"></a></div> <i>(Photo by tanner photography) </i></div><div><i><br></i></div><div><i>• </i>Self doubt <i> </i></div><div><i><br></i></div><div><i> </i>There are somethings that help me get through the self doubt, which is my main problem. I always feel I'm not quite good enough. I feel that no matter the progress I've made its still not as perfect as it should be. I'm either too fat or too thin. Then the constant mental beatings. As a teenager I went to tons of therapy over my issues and nothing ever helped and prescriptions just kept me numb and that's not a way to live. </div><div> I was once asked "if it's a mental disability, then why can't you try to mentally fix it?". This changed my outlook on life. I realized I was the one who was holding me back and making me feel like I wasn't good enough. If I could stop allowing myself to dwell on things I couldn't change. I could use my time more wisely. I could start to heal and feel like I do something with my life. I eventually didn't have to try as hard to stop these thoughts. Now and then they get the best of me but <b>trying to keep positive and productive is an honest cure to self doubt</b>. I know my experience with this is different then others and some can't control the thoughts, these are the strongest people and my heart goes out to them. </div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">• Fights with other performers</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> This is GOING to happen. I don't care how sweet and accommodating you are there will always be someone who doesn't like you. The worse of these instances are the long time loving friendships ending. I've had these experiences. They can really make you want to hang up the g string for good. My first piece of advice is try to be professional. Many emotions are shared when you perform with someone. You share the good and bad shows, the good and bad reviews, the good and bad outsiders. It's a different kind of friendship. So if it ends badly those emotions can cause people to do and say some terrible things. my final piece of advice is <b>to keep personal feelings out of the public eye</b>. With social media and the amount of people you come in contact with at shows, saying or doing one thing can really impact how someone feels or thinks about you. Plus there is so much bickering in the scene as it is to add to it or be that girl who is always talking smack. You waste time meeting new performers and friends. First impressions still mean a lot. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">• terrible audiences.</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"> The first few times performing will go by so quickly you won't really recall the audience, or I didn't atleast. But once your performing a while and start to perform at places that have never seen burlesque, you WILL run into a dull audience. I remember being on tour with the Holy Shakes my second year of performing. We had some amazing and some weird shows. We performed in Chicago and the crowd wasn't interested in us at all. But there was one. Then we went to Cleveland where we had an amazing show. To seven people. Sometimes people don't know how to react to what we're doing. Most don't think burlesque is anymore then what they've seen on the damn Cher movie. <b>Don't take it personally!!! </b> If you do a show where no one shows up use that to your advantage. Get off the stage and interact with the people there. Use the space your given. If there are posts play up against them Jessica rabbit style. If there's and empty seat at the bar take your stocking off there. It's more fun for everyone then next time you perform those people should be there and they would have told their friends about the fun show they saw last time. I've gotten some of my most loyal fans that way. </font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"> At the same time when you go to perform somewhere think about your target audience. I recently did a show that I just chose the wrong acts for. It happens. Sometimes you just can't predict what people will like. You might be the weak link in a show. But that's not always bad. If you take those experiences and learn from them next time you'll be more prepared. If you try hard enough you'll find a positive if it's just that you made it through it. </font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">• keep in mind those who really care for you in the community. Those who build you up and don't brake you down. People who you can communicate openly with. Even if your network is small <b>be sure to be open and understanding!</b> Most of the problems I've seen between troupes and performers boil down to miscommunication. There are the bad seeds and the divas but those type of people find themselves alone in the long run. Keep those who you cherish closest. Keep in mind their achievements are also your achievements.

I got married at the beginning of October so the months leading up to the Halloween show we had planned was full of wedding preparations, not show prep. I had a song planned and I had just retired an act that I created a lovely costume for so I decided to buy a cape and some horns from eBay and worry about it once I got home.<i style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> </i><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">It took me much longer to get back in the groove then expected and next thing I knew I found myself with some floppy horns, a cape completely different then what I had ordered, and one week till the show! I decided the least I could do was figure out how to make the horns cool. These are the steps I made.</span><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"> 1- First you have to gather base supplies.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">• A wire head frame- I'm very lucky to have a guy that makes my wire frames so I don't have to worry about that step. They are available from many headdress places and eBay, but you can alway fashion your own with some bailing wire (something thick but not too thick to bend) some soldering and some elbo grease.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">• buckram, medium weight- it can be found at most fabric stores or EBay </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">• Thick thread or twine and a needle.- it can be found at any craft store *make sure it's thin enough to thread it through a common sized needle head*</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">• Hot glue gun- can be found at any craft store. *low temp is best since you'll need to fold material with your fingers*</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">• Scissors- if your reading this you should have these. Don't use fabric scissors on your buckram! It will dull the immediately!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">• Fabric for covering- I used some scraps from other costumes I had made. Very little is needed, maybe half a yard at most. Stretchy fabric is easier to work with and you have less chance of wrinkles also.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">• A sharpie or marker of some sort.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLy7Uk8H5Geyyr86RpZXVPrdgbfzzcpupOZNk7kQI7MG-rPMexO1MZwrSrjzJUb3RD9Y4glNY6FFiAem6WfNQM2zYR5JtvvyBDuXoOVw9QuJHeRH1JlGa-MlXFsz9OnOeusM6w-eQSbM5r/s640/blogger-image-1940461492.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLy7Uk8H5Geyyr86RpZXVPrdgbfzzcpupOZNk7kQI7MG-rPMexO1MZwrSrjzJUb3RD9Y4glNY6FFiAem6WfNQM2zYR5JtvvyBDuXoOVw9QuJHeRH1JlGa-MlXFsz9OnOeusM6w-eQSbM5r/s640/blogger-image-1940461492.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> 2- Now the very first thing I do (which is very unconventional) is take the buckram and fold it into the frame and trace around it by section. That gives me basic shapes to work with. Then cut the shapes out on the outside of the marker lines. That will help give you a bit more material to work with just incase your tracings aren't perfect. I'm not very technical or mathematical with any of this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLYoPj6tqOaWOQBE2q4DHhXi7lv5fzr0UTgTwkiJpoN8CygSgyoWjG1XaVySFLvrXaGLEaB8WrFmtJPZk6zJCzjsEJDGLfNajRTrpUCKbJOv1iH9NboPu-w1pQ_8A5bmYlLHmVHZZJY7g4/s640/blogger-image-1438988864.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLYoPj6tqOaWOQBE2q4DHhXi7lv5fzr0UTgTwkiJpoN8CygSgyoWjG1XaVySFLvrXaGLEaB8WrFmtJPZk6zJCzjsEJDGLfNajRTrpUCKbJOv1iH9NboPu-w1pQ_8A5bmYlLHmVHZZJY7g4/s640/blogger-image-1438988864.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> 3- Take those shapes of buckram and place them on the under side of the section you traced it from and sew it to the wire with your twine or thread. This does not at all need to be a neat job just make sure it's solid when you finish (aka you can't put your fingers in any holes) Repeat until the entire thing is covered in buckram. This will give you space to build off of and will add some stability to the over all headdress. Large feather headdress frames end up with a vertical wire to help with stability of the feathers. This particular one I won't be using a lot of feathers. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_IgX68yYAIBjXd3qCgLTupLn4nZdJ-2zCWznkXQxGyUZJNb6SVz37KwRH6OulKH4INQIJ_Rrs2kW8kHqimj-Fgm8JdnxyXmRd8eHhEzXDQhrgQ8m2R7KstYL-VAGXsgu5D7uo-PvT3Cyy/s640/blogger-image--1150541099.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_IgX68yYAIBjXd3qCgLTupLn4nZdJ-2zCWznkXQxGyUZJNb6SVz37KwRH6OulKH4INQIJ_Rrs2kW8kHqimj-Fgm8JdnxyXmRd8eHhEzXDQhrgQ8m2R7KstYL-VAGXsgu5D7uo-PvT3Cyy/s640/blogger-image--1150541099.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> 4- Next heat up your glue gun and get your fabric out, it's time to cover it! Since buckram is a pain to hand sew I prefer to glue all of my fabric down. I start this process by laying the fabric over the wire and cutting a large square around it, I'm sure there are easier more efficient ways but this works for me. I start normally in front (the important part) and work my way back by gluing the fabric to the underside while making sure there aren't any wrinkles. I pull the fabric tight and fold the fabric over the edge and glue. I smooth out the edges by pressing the hot glue flat with the fabric. You will have some lumps on the corners from over lapping the fabric and hot glue. Make sure you bend your wires to compensate before adding your decorations on top. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupBtCXjugPcmi5m23tCicWm-ykuNJO-QzOcbVHcshaaUcoXSoRkDtbUEI1XZ3RaTI5AHryC7uYiBMfB5PSSX03jvqxqSLncEB-Nr84h_I7Zev6c0XIqR-Cyk5hi6dXzgz7iX-gP9jYVr4/s640/blogger-image--2083649582.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupBtCXjugPcmi5m23tCicWm-ykuNJO-QzOcbVHcshaaUcoXSoRkDtbUEI1XZ3RaTI5AHryC7uYiBMfB5PSSX03jvqxqSLncEB-Nr84h_I7Zev6c0XIqR-Cyk5hi6dXzgz7iX-gP9jYVr4/s640/blogger-image--2083649582.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">On mine I did a double layer. The bottom layer being red sequins (non stretch) and the top layer being black lace (all way stretch). </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihP_S7JFhG7XVASKaJdYFHrSw-YVCt6Bvxf2B25tX-srla9KRDQ2_sR21qiFqcezuX9ko-jXJRewR5XmFALdB9wm9yBdUbvlUsUUcJah58A4FbG6R-oaJnpUU3maKSSuSzax95UwpyxTsi/s640/blogger-image--1653961751.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihP_S7JFhG7XVASKaJdYFHrSw-YVCt6Bvxf2B25tX-srla9KRDQ2_sR21qiFqcezuX9ko-jXJRewR5XmFALdB9wm9yBdUbvlUsUUcJah58A4FbG6R-oaJnpUU3maKSSuSzax95UwpyxTsi/s640/blogger-image--1653961751.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I also don't line my headdresses. I have them custom made to fit very snug.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> 5- gather decoration supplies! This can be whatever your heart desires. For this particular headdress I got foam horns from eBay (easier to work with and lightweight) and flowers and feathers from hobby lobby (we only have commercial craft stores in town) and I had some leftover rhinestones from a older project to jazz up the horns a bit and give the flowers a bit of sparkle. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> 6- Before I get all happy with the glue I need to figure out what my overall look is going to be by laying out all of my decorations in different ways. That way I don't get half way in and realize I don't have enough supplies or I don't care for the layout. This was my final decision.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRPWj7T3RDRrqw2fpL1Oauk-HwuS2_wp2bSkLfpbbz4zk9_wRh2GPXqXpZkGp0N6Nk9YcxjVs3pB209AJaqsQdxL7hMvpzdJJlSvc-2IpCjZiyAbk0BiVDWgcLYtMIx5YQ_tR3seF5-GQK/s640/blogger-image--384833642.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRPWj7T3RDRrqw2fpL1Oauk-HwuS2_wp2bSkLfpbbz4zk9_wRh2GPXqXpZkGp0N6Nk9YcxjVs3pB209AJaqsQdxL7hMvpzdJJlSvc-2IpCjZiyAbk0BiVDWgcLYtMIx5YQ_tR3seF5-GQK/s640/blogger-image--384833642.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now. This is just a guideline. I ended up taking out one tall feather and moving two to the inside of the horns to fill up some space. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> 7- I started with gluing the horns, my main focal point. I needed them to be as similar as possible In placement. Then I added the flowers. I switched the big open flowers to the center and the smaller to the outsides so it would frame my face better. I wanted this headdress to look as flush to my skin as possible.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> 8- then comes the feathers. I placed the side feathers with ease but with no wire support I needed to find a way to give the middle feathers enough support to stand on their own. So, I took a piece of buckram that fit the area between the horns on the back of the front flowers and layered the feathers from tallest on bottom to shortest on top. Once they were all glued very securely on the buckram I took my glue gun and saturated the bottom of the feathers and pressed them onto the back of the flowers. I then individually pressed the petals into the glue to make sure it's nice and secured. Once it was dry I double checked my feathers to make sure they weren't going anywhere. By using the buckram I ended up with a big white square on the back of my headdress, and I can't go for that. So I took a piece of a marabou boa I had laying about and glued it to the back hiding the white.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> 9- jeweling and beading. I just used leftover rhinestones so it wasn't as encrusted as my normal costume pieces are but still had enough sparkle for stage. Once I was done with that I added some bead strands so cover my ears and to finish off framing my face. It is now show ready!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO8PzWc8EtnSM7q3Z-9jmAIRwrCM__N7opMh8yWdiQqrpQuGinrR8n3Qb8hqrP37GgwjNnuUarKwc18K0liwQwQRmtL-n3hy6XOIY5BCZNv6Z2dVd0uwYZcBKNpavJxH2saGr2CVfnwBe5/s640/blogger-image-1958164450.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO8PzWc8EtnSM7q3Z-9jmAIRwrCM__N7opMh8yWdiQqrpQuGinrR8n3Qb8hqrP37GgwjNnuUarKwc18K0liwQwQRmtL-n3hy6XOIY5BCZNv6Z2dVd0uwYZcBKNpavJxH2saGr2CVfnwBe5/s640/blogger-image-1958164450.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Terrible home shot of the finished piece. <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI9zKDLQyrSVj_J5B9eoOiW6dCQfQFnfOvGmV5Eg_nDTRvwO_ynFo2Y_Un20qTDPR55iZfjiDtQB3CtxkHmohzUhbnZW9Ga4_04x5O8tPOKsqGG2QByHciHddWZD0WvL3pGezOGMX_1Q-C/s640/blogger-image-1618309747.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI9zKDLQyrSVj_J5B9eoOiW6dCQfQFnfOvGmV5Eg_nDTRvwO_ynFo2Y_Un20qTDPR55iZfjiDtQB3CtxkHmohzUhbnZW9Ga4_04x5O8tPOKsqGG2QByHciHddWZD0WvL3pGezOGMX_1Q-C/s640/blogger-image-1618309747.jpg"></a></div>A stage shot from a friend with full make up. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuu8BirCQ-uYNcYNxZM9zP5Scxyv3l4NEtd36yvCouFJAb-amv7pOoMlztH2WEo7Yb-xRt0fjd1S-5gDaJRJH75pa9OkdPfY9VL6lhpQQlOHxizlLKq8rryGHFEBKypDlmsqyyOvqCbn0U/s640/blogger-image-1448270271.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuu8BirCQ-uYNcYNxZM9zP5Scxyv3l4NEtd36yvCouFJAb-amv7pOoMlztH2WEo7Yb-xRt0fjd1S-5gDaJRJH75pa9OkdPfY9VL6lhpQQlOHxizlLKq8rryGHFEBKypDlmsqyyOvqCbn0U/s640/blogger-image-1448270271.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> (<i>Photo by Visible sin photography)</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><br></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Thank you all for all the compliments and questions about this!

Tomorrow I'm heading out with my girls to do a little act for a fundraiser that is also holding a pin up contest. That got me thinking... What exactly is pin up? <div> I'm really picky when it comes to pin up. I know there are some really particular things that can really make or brake the look. Now since pin up has been around forever and has taken many forms I know anything from a girl on the side of an air plane to the centerfold in the newest playboy can be considered pin up. The definition is:</div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> •</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">a poster showing a famous person or sex symbol, designed to be displayed on a wall. </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">a person shown in a pinup</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> So I need to explain. I'm talking the 40's 50's woman. The housewife to the sex kitten. Victory roll, cat eye, red lipped pin up. Artists like Vargas and elvgren really took the women of their day and gave us ladies something to strive towards! The hair, the make up, the stockings!! <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH_Vrs1qWg5mO_wK_PddxA9Ouc528-VEhoIfs6AQuDw27Y3XmCW5otwxRcgmhVm4sHOAGPfbRtkaH7se3pe3VXR7YPN4Mvg3ljMKf5ZNyRQJjcAlKYVRpf-flXE_8ZYhW6y2QP-8lqv-nf/s640/blogger-image--610123998.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH_Vrs1qWg5mO_wK_PddxA9Ouc528-VEhoIfs6AQuDw27Y3XmCW5otwxRcgmhVm4sHOAGPfbRtkaH7se3pe3VXR7YPN4Mvg3ljMKf5ZNyRQJjcAlKYVRpf-flXE_8ZYhW6y2QP-8lqv-nf/s640/blogger-image--610123998.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i> (Painting by Gil elvgren)</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><br></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i> </i>I was one of the girls that finally took the pin up plunge during the last resurgence of the retro look. I, like most ladies, have always loved that classic look. I waited so long because I thought it would be impossible. I didn't have the classic face and I couldn't do my hair or make up to save my life. Even the simple cat eye eluded me. When I got the courage to start buying cherry and leopard print things I also started attempting hair and make up. It took years and I still feel there's more I could do to actually look pin up. But enough of my rambling! Here's a few tips I hold dear when It comes to being a pin up. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> •You must find YOUR kind of cat eye!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Each person has a different shaped eye. Some have more lid some have none. Some eyes are closer together and others are farther apart. Some are bigger some are smaller! All of this comes in play when it comes to finding your cat eye. Now I'm not a make up artist so j cannot tell you what would be best for you but for me (when I do my make up) I don't go to the very inside I start mid lid and normally I use a thicker line. I also don't put too much dark under my eyes because I have small eyes and it tends to make them smaller. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> •Figure out what hairstyles work for you and your face shape. I know victory rolls look so lovely on some ladies but if you have a larger forehead it can result in making your face even longer. Also there are certain styles you need a certain hair length to do. I'm a huge fan of sponge rollers (wet to dry set overnight) then brushed and shaped to my preferred style. I also like to do some type to victory roll or front roll and then clip In some kind of ponytail. Both of these styles are easy for me. Also you shouldn't be able to see through your victory rolls.... It's a big pet peeve of mine since I have thinner hair so sometimes I can't help it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> •BLUSH! EYEBROWS! LIP LINER!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> These three things are very important. VERY important. There is nothing worse then seeing a lady with no color in her cheeks, and lady with no eyebrows or makeup covered eyebrows. Or someone with a lovely makeup job but their lipstick is bleeding into their face. Take time on these things. Pink blush, thicker brow, red liner. *tip!- when lining your lips don't just line them.

I'm not one of those ladies with a perfect figure but with the Correct shapers anyone can have a curvy vintage style shape. One of the good things about them is you can pick them up at your local Walmart for fairly cheap. I live in a small town without any of the nice boutiques but all most shapers are already set to squeeze most at your natural wiast which is a big big part of the pin up look. No matter your size you still have a waist and show it! Also don't be ashamed to wear things to make you feel better about your body! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">There's tons of ways to pull off a pin up look! Just do your research and practice practice practice!! I still have problems with my hair, make up, and what to wear.

There has been a little thread on Facebook about photographers and models and rates. I have been modeling for almost a decade. I've spent hours learning how to perfect my make up, my hair, and to tone up my body. (I'm a thin girl so tone is my option, nothing against a curvy lady! I sadly have few curves unless I make them) I've spent way too much money on clothing and shoes. I've spent hours in front of the mirror learning what looks good on me and how to hold my body to get the best possible pose. I've spent hours scouting locations and trying to find the best spot for a shoot. Does that not equal into it when it comes to shooting with me?<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTehr2U1BosgJhmg-GFBz4xyAj4uvASehx58d1-m0mRdnOTD98PkQxX7eLpcPOJgLTMOBda62s1-qusny0Zveceo4TBBk75l6Ku_Pqin458sH6iCd5o5EzBhV1WSMjOwi0R32TRmJiHjl9/s640/blogger-image-352119966.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTehr2U1BosgJhmg-GFBz4xyAj4uvASehx58d1-m0mRdnOTD98PkQxX7eLpcPOJgLTMOBda62s1-qusny0Zveceo4TBBk75l6Ku_Pqin458sH6iCd5o5EzBhV1WSMjOwi0R32TRmJiHjl9/s640/blogger-image-352119966.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <i>Ernst rice photography </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><br></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Sometimes experience is worth something. I do understand that most photographers do this for a living and every shoot could be their dinner for a week. But I also have bills to pay and there are times I have to take off work because it's the best time for the photographer. I don't get paid hourly so if I'm not there that's a huge zero in my pocket book. I understand the hours that go into editing and setting up/braking down. But I've noticed that most photographers don't think about the four hours we spent on our make up or that I slept in my rollers last night to get the hair I have today. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI_KghYyPprYg1CQ0eC2M1to1g0OFdhlm9lzqEqW6sv_7B4Z7f8n4s5i1jfjAFo65YHIoJCM2xn7z8G44r63ckVQzGHueX6FhlXBVQieH2p84dcGauET08jasdkdTDI87xLKtPOAkhnLav/s640/blogger-image--2006124100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI_KghYyPprYg1CQ0eC2M1to1g0OFdhlm9lzqEqW6sv_7B4Z7f8n4s5i1jfjAFo65YHIoJCM2xn7z8G44r63ckVQzGHueX6FhlXBVQieH2p84dcGauET08jasdkdTDI87xLKtPOAkhnLav/s640/blogger-image--2006124100.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i> Paul tanner photography </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><br></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> I don't charge to shoot with me.

If I plan to work with those people I do plan to pay because they are doing almost all the work, and it's a lot of work!

In the time I've spent in the burlesque industry I've found out one very disturbing thing. When you're tattooed you <b><i>are</i></b> discriminated against. Especially if your a classic performer. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Z3wh7xxNuEAyxD0qIx9_tG_T-OOGpwi0N9yr-jbGHeWyv2t0ocbYOTuO1eIKOje2DiwxWZR5BrMEPICRi8SgqKvp74VbhPO-V2aecu1DtorFFH1JZ5nDl4t_2K-ibHBnQY050jz9VOCG/s640/blogger-image-835815721.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Z3wh7xxNuEAyxD0qIx9_tG_T-OOGpwi0N9yr-jbGHeWyv2t0ocbYOTuO1eIKOje2DiwxWZR5BrMEPICRi8SgqKvp74VbhPO-V2aecu1DtorFFH1JZ5nDl4t_2K-ibHBnQY050jz9VOCG/s640/blogger-image-835815721.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> (Me- by tanner photography)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> It's a sad fact that most performers get booked due to appearance. As much as we stand for body appreciation and the arts, it still baffles me that wonderful performers don't get booked due to someone else's opinions. I've read many articals about ladies not being booked due to size but there are others who are feeling some of the darkness of the business. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> My grievance is with those who think tattooed women are a novelty, or people who think there has to be a "certain" show for those individuals. Ladies have been getting tattooed for centuries and I'm sure at least one or two legends had tattoos. Granted, due to the same reasons we have today, probably had to cover them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpxVMT8OecTBtYMTUxKLsFwlViM1JoRKkbluIRLi23eh7Dptny0ZjPQ1MTBdkkvvxkP1LzbeLtYFcUyb5r6cQnkEel4dy4Co6b055mbFYHTUrlkSV_HDn4bJsAuijLo_aFYyHUZL7Kr_Sq/s640/blogger-image-404387406.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpxVMT8OecTBtYMTUxKLsFwlViM1JoRKkbluIRLi23eh7Dptny0ZjPQ1MTBdkkvvxkP1LzbeLtYFcUyb5r6cQnkEel4dy4Co6b055mbFYHTUrlkSV_HDn4bJsAuijLo_aFYyHUZL7Kr_Sq/s640/blogger-image-404387406.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> (Unknown tattooed lady 1900s)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Now I understand the whole "classic look" and that tattoos aren't something the general public will relate to when thinking of vintage ladies.

I won't decide to start doing neo burlesque to be booked more. I won't cover my tattoos for your magazines or shows.

A small tattoo on your foot can cause you shows, publication, and sometimes awards. But if you are already tattooed don't let anyone stand in your way. When one door closes others do open. Don't dwell on those producers who judge people on petty things like that. Once your amazing they will regret not booking you before. If you want to do classic. Do it. If you want to do pin up. Do it. Don't let them label you as alternative. Alternative to what? Be yourself, be proud, be tattooed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> ~Doris </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Xoxoxo</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">(All opinions are mine and mine only)</div></div></div></div></div>Doris Nighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15116765419811944805noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042325261240793863.post-46160887112801094452014-07-31T23:39:00.001-07:002014-07-31T23:39:59.202-07:00Photos with Cassie!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbxzr0pPGSwNz8FACWV3DB8xIf8_b-gpIeHVb1hPXOA4nai-ErQzcdNjcMO7yYWkOLf9G4JcYPZyxoTSH9aHp34jxZsRkLLjj6GN9T75kAvmlxahRKTDhh-USCIMgSSDdDt1DS1sinCNgA/s640/blogger-image-468969938.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I guess we'll start with the bra.(it's the only thing I really documented) Ruby ordered a bra with a nice underwire shape. I'm personally new at making all these things so I don't exactly know how to fabricate a bra from scratch at this moment in time. But I used the bra she gave me for a base. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do with the bra since we were sticking to a particular shape on her dress. So I traced off on the bra what I wanted to cut away.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU5qbSkC1XdzwmLK4rpNIcCRW3yUG1pqmSuUnCfwcz9EZRvN8vETKEmgK6KN9Ue-ujsfAaoNDOLwQnNfJDdrDmstmL6Z9EvPl6Ei5-dnZT3DKhsirji72-P9-coAZgBn5i0bOqADrKIGLB/s640/blogger-image--1484348019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU5qbSkC1XdzwmLK4rpNIcCRW3yUG1pqmSuUnCfwcz9EZRvN8vETKEmgK6KN9Ue-ujsfAaoNDOLwQnNfJDdrDmstmL6Z9EvPl6Ei5-dnZT3DKhsirji72-P9-coAZgBn5i0bOqADrKIGLB/s640/blogger-image--1484348019.jpg"></a>Thats when it gets a bit scary. You have to absolutely commit. But since I had just done this for Violets "girl on fire" costume, I wasn't too worried about it. Once you start to cut the bra you'll realize that there is a thin piece of fabric on top of the original bra which could and probably will fuck you up a little bit when cutting. I just kinda trust my instinct. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvfXjt5fejCdtrSJOcj35eU8J-Nw2lbdU8dFvDTx1vlJ6ZS8zrwzjroc5Hm1OBX-3-PyOK3hWxXlIxidG7DgzZSuVr9F6h-u6AYZOXYvoWXAzC7-UmqbfFiW4IaPijZSyePFdKxxgvSoT2/s640/blogger-image-1752117663.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvfXjt5fejCdtrSJOcj35eU8J-Nw2lbdU8dFvDTx1vlJ6ZS8zrwzjroc5Hm1OBX-3-PyOK3hWxXlIxidG7DgzZSuVr9F6h-u6AYZOXYvoWXAzC7-UmqbfFiW4IaPijZSyePFdKxxgvSoT2/s640/blogger-image-1752117663.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Once I got both cups cut out, I had to figure out how to go about putting the stretchy satin spandex on to without using a dart.

But it was so very easy. We took a pencil skirt and used it for reference for the girdle pattern. I haven't gotten into boning things yet so it's basically more or a shaper type thing. But we made the pattern from that sewed it all together with fold over elastic (I'm a huge fan of the fold over) and put a separating zipper in the center (cause it's a burly costume. Everything must come off!!) then came the panels. I normally just make half circle panel skirts but this time I doubled it. I wanted to make it have all the material since It was shorter then a normal panel skirt and who doesn't like ALL the chiffon! So I made two panels and made them snap button into the skirt. Once again easy removal. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqREikh-1QL5aqI9fKp-5PGc_hFUDXISAc_1OWZU4xpKbiqBYEjjwQnBypopgpJW3xN4wAXeR-k_-T35U1z8SVejnXxgZzFqkhO0ipxx-PuA-5gxZWWi-VRUpNirE6sDXQx3_taas51zZn/s640/blogger-image--135824572.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqREikh-1QL5aqI9fKp-5PGc_hFUDXISAc_1OWZU4xpKbiqBYEjjwQnBypopgpJW3xN4wAXeR-k_-T35U1z8SVejnXxgZzFqkhO0ipxx-PuA-5gxZWWi-VRUpNirE6sDXQx3_taas51zZn/s640/blogger-image--135824572.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I love all the chiffon there was!!

We started a monthly review at Maxine's live here in our beautiful little town of Hot Springs Arkansas in November of 2012 And we have our last show (of the regular monthly show) on December the 20th. So lets see... That puts me at a little more then two weeks to get my act(s) together. Thankfully we had the same show the same time last year, and i put a lot into my let it snow costume that i couldn't stand not using this opportunity to use it once again! So those of your who missed our Christmas show last year can be surprised and those who did come last year will be able to see the act a bit more perfected!! Also i am planning a simple cute little duo act with miss Ruby Lead. All those details will be kept a bit more secretive. :) <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnwQub0ND-8s0QyLhhA7LuEXijFd9ObuDmXPSlUYiiBuOY_TN4mNK6CW6EQNs-ZRmlnxmQjjpGnXHmzB_CbTfY-S3fFOne6xykCS2LpGD1oF9EvPCv7ykeZBJ12z6wL-cX9mnpuxqUrj8t/s1600/936514_775961652419153_1851675220_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnwQub0ND-8s0QyLhhA7LuEXijFd9ObuDmXPSlUYiiBuOY_TN4mNK6CW6EQNs-ZRmlnxmQjjpGnXHmzB_CbTfY-S3fFOne6xykCS2LpGD1oF9EvPCv7ykeZBJ12z6wL-cX9mnpuxqUrj8t/s320/936514_775961652419153_1851675220_n.jpg" /></a></div>
After the monthly show we are putting on a bake sale fundraiser for our van! It'll just be a cute little way to give everyone a little something from us personally!! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0tgEv9vT7g1KI5s1GOwuHoQ1eBgBDAbAksMK_zESFY_Sya5GwfRnz308lYBGIZr3bRvGdu6lC2kcz1BQ2pVC2h744BWxYVso7zNKWEoyCgzTfc-r5BqdpkvUo-H9IV-H3ZYaPNcgCKzC6/s1600/1483352_10201100637378042_676817821_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0tgEv9vT7g1KI5s1GOwuHoQ1eBgBDAbAksMK_zESFY_Sya5GwfRnz308lYBGIZr3bRvGdu6lC2kcz1BQ2pVC2h744BWxYVso7zNKWEoyCgzTfc-r5BqdpkvUo-H9IV-H3ZYaPNcgCKzC6/s320/1483352_10201100637378042_676817821_n.jpg" /></a></div>
Then the new years eve will be in full swing With the Foul Play Cabaret and Moonshine Maphia at the Joint in North little rock!! we haven't performed in little rock in so long and i really hope the joint is as awesome of a venue as i hope! There needs to be more theater performance in Arkansas!! But off the subject, We Plan to bring the classiest things we can (or at least i am hahaha) to wow the socks of little rock once more! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqdjbM09AJgZlHdEHdLLYsuNohiLEHlhvLCS7dASQTYmbPY1UfWR7cYQg9TyJsuFZDJed3tiGoOujktTVLSOkolEmegr-zKwdc2ehHfzlNtw7OVZxakiMLai7h8BsNGB10HwupTK-3D3Sx/s1600/1441341_10201482687363259_1242781089_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqdjbM09AJgZlHdEHdLLYsuNohiLEHlhvLCS7dASQTYmbPY1UfWR7cYQg9TyJsuFZDJed3tiGoOujktTVLSOkolEmegr-zKwdc2ehHfzlNtw7OVZxakiMLai7h8BsNGB10HwupTK-3D3Sx/s320/1441341_10201482687363259_1242781089_n.jpg" /></a></div>
Even with the Hectic year we have all had such a phenomenal time. We plan to get to tour some next year and show the rest of the states that there is Arkansas burlesque and not just us! over the year i have heard of a couple new troupes pop up! i'm so happy that there are more girls falling in love with burlesque! One day we might be able to have our own festival! oh talking about festivals!! The Spa City Sweethearts!!!!
SCS!!!!!!!! oh how i love this show with all of my possible being. I wish i could say i remember the first time i stepped foot on the stage but sadly excitement, fear, and anxiety kept that memory from even forming haha! This year unlike last year, we hope to have some work shops and whatnot for the performers. I plan to make some sweet decorations if i can... i have a few ideas. My act is already in the planning and kinda in the making. i'm having my first costume made by the lovely Black Mariah! i'm actually too excited about that! With that being done i have way more time to work on my props (cause i'm dreaming BIG this year!) and on the new performers that i can comfort and help on their way to for me was a life changing experience. So many things!! i'm so excited for them!!!
But with the good comes the bad. Sadly things in my life have hit a little rocky point. Not surprisingly its around the holidays also. But i'm planning to do a little something with me and my love (Vinny Vadge) for Christmas instead of my traditional friend/family meal. With the stress of the monthlies and all that has conspired in the last year, the family like relationship between a lot of my friends and me hasn't been the best. I figure the best thing to do is to let the holidays go by and all the sad gloomy weather goes away and see what the new year brings me. I hope for peace with my friends, i hope for a van so tour can happen, i hope for everything good for everyone who might read this.

There were so many beautiful and talented performers there that I got to meet or get reacquainted with. Lola Vee and Bobbie Baltimore did an excellent job keeping the show entertaining and organized! The headliner this year was GiGi LaFemme. In my opinion one of the most graceful and exciting dancers I've ever had the pleasure of watching. And such a nice lady too!! I was super happy to be part of this event this year. Raven Rose, the Honky Tonk Hussies, Bree Von Buxxxom, Puss Powerbottom, and myself represented the hell out of Arkansas!!! And our own Puss Powerbottom went home with most dazzling!! If you must see our performances be sure to look up Memphis Burlesque Showcase on YouTube!!!

She wouldn't give up until she found it. In February 2011, she had her first stage appearance at the sold out first annual Spa City Sweethearts. After getting a taste of the stage, she couldn't have it just being a yearly occasion. In the summer of 2011, Ruby Lead and her created The Foul Play Cabaret. The troupe took hold of hot springs. Oohing and awing the crowd with their classy, sassy, funny, and glamorous spectacle. Doris found herself in love with classic burlesque and held it close to her heart. That fall she performed at the 20th documentary film festival after Exotic World in the historic Malco Theater. <br />
In 2012, she performed another sold out show at the 2nd annual Spa City Sweethearts and had a two night show at Maxine's live. That spring she performed along side Booyah! Dad for a three night stretch including her first out of state appearance. In the summer she and The Foul Play Cabaret went on tour with The Holy Shakes across the east coast in a seven night stretch. She's ready to come to your town and shimmy and shake your blues away! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglyZ-KAI2oaPaqtBAQwb8txan1MnZK2GzzlVpKG8UC8ayxWrF0CE5SBaXaFOmuqNJymCjWgm9kt4l2r5dFwe8kss6DZs_Hc3p31ti8dnHyaP9UIV7yJp5qLweJaJSccbs264RNCGzfhZl8/s640/blogger-image-1932028492.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglyZ-KAI2oaPaqtBAQwb8txan1MnZK2GzzlVpKG8UC8ayxWrF0CE5SBaXaFOmuqNJymCjWgm9kt4l2r5dFwe8kss6DZs_Hc3p31ti8dnHyaP9UIV7yJp5qLweJaJSccbs264RNCGzfhZl8/s640/blogger-image-1932028492.jpg" /></a></div>Doris Nighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15116765419811944805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042325261240793863.post-58736547462876698092012-07-10T02:06:00.001-07:002012-07-10T02:06:38.722-07:00Calendar!!!!So we should have a calendar out for our fall shows!!

<br />
Now let me explain a little bit about the spa city sweethearts. One day Ruby, Violet, and I were sitting around talking, them drinking wine and we came up with this idea. Why not put on a burlesque show to raise funds for the Valley Of The Vapors Independent Music Festival? Shortly after that epiphany Ruby started production. Ruby talked to all of our lady friends and found that a lot of them had wanted to try burlesque and were more then happy to strip down for the cause. We had never produced a show, much less performed. We all worked day and night researching, rehearsing, sewing, and planning. We had two or three nights of rehearsing and Ruby had a decorating team working away. On February 12th 2011, we opened the doors to the Low Key Arts building and people started to line up. We were all so very nervous and excited; it was almost unbearable. Shortly before the show started I recall going to smoke and I walked out the front door and seeing a line around the corner and packed parking lot. The backstage was cramped and uneasy, the place was totally sold out, then auctioning started. The first few tables sold for $30, then $60, then started going up to the hundreds. I ran to Ruby and told her and she was so happy she could barely keep from crying. Once everyone had their seats Dolly Alcoholly took the stage said a few words, thanked the crowd and the Low Key, and introduced Ms. Ruby Lead. The spotlight hit her and Ruby Was truly born. She did Marilyn Monroe's version of "I wanna be loved by you". The show was an immediate success! We had somewhere around 18 to 20 performers most of which had never been on stage a day in their lives!! <br />
We started planning next years show.<br />
<br />
A couple months after the sweethearts some of us had decided that once a year just wasn't enough for us and we contacted the ladies that had shown interest in performing soon and we formed The Foul Play Cabaret. But that's a totally different story :)<br />
<br />
In January 2012 we started out first workshop for our future Spa City Sweethearts. We had workshops for hair and make up, simple choreography, costume making, hair piece and pastie making, and much more. We had lost some ladies from the previous year but we had also gained some very beautiful and talented ladies! Raven Rose, Rosa Lee Bloom, Harley Derringer and Norma Bates to name a few. It was much more calm and organized back stage but the show sold out twice as quick! It was a bigger version then the year before!! With a choreographed intro by The Foul Play Cabaret and and a finally by any of the ladies that wanted to participate. Another huge success!! Another unbelievable show!<br />
<br />
This year I'm hoping to meet many more ladies and possibly gentlemen that will be performing along side with me and the rest of the FPC. I have so many things planned!!!! I'm saying 2013 is going to be the best year yet!!! Stay tuned for updates and sneak peaks of this years doings!

Our tour was amazing!!! We finally got to play at the smoke and barrel in fayetteville then we went up to the double door in Chicago.... that show was just odd but we had a bunch of fun and the venue was huge and amazing!! then we went farther east to cleveland (which the fpc LOVES SOME CLEVELAND!!!) then to worcester mass which we meet some awesome ladies that are friends with mickey, then we took a day and went to nyc! the first time i'd been there! the holy shakes rocked my face off then before getting any sleep we got back on the road to NC then to Nashville where we stayed with Violets mom (that precious woman) then right before we got to little rock the fan in Vanna (what we named our van) went out stranding us in the middle of nowhere (close to Hazen, AR) so we got a tow truck out that happened to know Ms julia and Ben Robbins (that angel) dropped off the holy shakes and came back got us and we barely got there in time to get ready but the show went on!!!! Vanna is still in the tow yard until monday when we get her back. :( but were already starting to plan a possible other tour! It is simply amazing how all this is falling into place!!! I Can't wait to see what the next few months has to offer!!! i will keep you all (or just you jac lol) posted!!! xoxoxoDoris Nighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15116765419811944805noreply@blogger.com0
