Practice and an epiphany

Yoga is really good for me. Today, while in class bending in all sorts of strange asanas I had several things pop in to their places, both in my body and in my head. My new Halloween number. Usable stuff for my upcoming workshop (made-to-order for a specific group of women). Plus I made my crow fly. Usually I´m more of a bug-on-it´s-back but i guess hard work pays off sometimes ;)
Today is Dixie Evan´s birthday and tomorrow night we shall meet at Dubrovnik at 7pm! Here´s a shot from last Sunday´s fleamarket. You can see both Tinker Bell and Cherry Dee on stage tomorrow night!

Fleas and markets and a bit of Restaurant Day as well

Making goodies on Saturday-night

Thank you everyone who came to visit us last Sunday! There could surely have been more people, but I think the Ravintolapäivä (Restaurant day) in Helsinki kept the people busy. Xtra special love to the very hungover young man who came because he had just looked up where the closest ravintolapäivä-cafe is and ended up leaving wearing my electric blue, sequined tailcoat! You made my day!!! Attitude is everything :)

Let´s get organized!

We sold sweet things for Restaurant day, all with raspberries. Here are raw food toffee and chocolate-raspberry muffins

Woop!  :)

The picture has nothing to do with the fleamarket but shows my father-in-law as "Marjatta" and artist Tapani Kokko as Larri, the drummer/singer of punk band Hikiset Tissit (Sweaty Tits) at the Mallusjoen Mato&Makkara Punk Festival yesterday! I love my crazy family and friends <3 So stop taking yourself so seriously, enjoy life and things around you!  Photo by the amazing Emiliano Melandri

Today's Fleamarket

Thank you everyone who came out to Raspberry Fields today! It was a great success and maybe we will host a similar event this summer! I sold a lot but there´s still a few things left ;) AND...I didn´t buy too much to take home -phew!!!

My stuff at the beginning...a lot of it, too.

Sandy organizing.

Burlesque fleamarket!

We are having open house and a burlesque fleamarket at our studio Raspberry Fields (Vattuniemenkatu 15, @Lauttasaari, Helsinki) Sunday 14th of April from 11am-2pm! There will be cheap stuff but also some nicer dresses and such for a bit more so be prepared! Tinker Bell also promised tassels.... The facebook event is here! Do come by and say hello and remember: we still need reliable people to share the space so this is an excellent chance to see the studio as well!!!

Raspberry Fields forever!

Our rehearsal studio that we share with The Itty Bitty Tease Cabaret and some other dancers need more reliable people! It´s a light, 60 m2 studio in Lauttasaari by good bus-connections. If you are interested or know some dance/circus/burlesque/actors/show people that are in need of a good space please contact me, Sandy Jungle, Tinker Bell or Cherry Dee via e-mails. From Sandy´s blog you can also see more pictures of the space!

Phew.

Wow, I´m really beat. Long day at work, long drive back and forth to rehersal studio, 1,5h worth of dancing.... I need sleeeepzzzzzz.....

It´s been Reveal Your Most Embarrasing Pictures-week on facebook. I think they call it "old pictures", so I decided to dig up some pretty nasty evidence of youth. I hated to be photographed and used to make any kind of weird face to make sure it looked...well. You can see for yourself :)

People who rehearse at our studio. If you need a place to dance/do theatre/whatnot let us know. There´s room for more peeps! Location in Lauttasaari, Hellsinki.

Today @ Raspberry Fields.

Our calendar that Tink brough <3

It´s on!

Pepper cutting fabrics to *secret stuff* ;)

Tonight has been about good stuff;  burlesque, bodybalance and sushi. No complaints here! We got some stuff kickstarted at Raspberry Fields, booked in more rehersal- and shopping time, last looks at music and even some of the outfits are (at least on a mental level) almost done. Yey! Good work, sistahs! Listening to Serge Gainsbourg here and it always makes me feel a bit frisky so I´ll share it with you ;)  Have an awesome, snowy week lovelies! 

Sandy, making an important face :)

Keep your eyes peeled for this poster!

Feathery antennas? Maybe.

I knew my baby-blue sequins would come in handy sooner than later! Little purse from Little Mama´s Goodies and ring souvenir from Mombasa.
