DaDa Bling & Kimallekaruselli!

 Happy New Year! Here´s to hoping it´s going to better than the last one... We spent the Holidays on a beach soaking in sun & vitamin sea which I hope will carry me through the rest of the Winter. 

ALAS - to bring you light and sparkles in to the darkness I have the immense pleasure to perform at some stellar Bettie Blackheart productions in the beginning of the year! Next Thursday, 12th January at DaDa Bling at the legendary boat Wäiski in Helsinki AND at the international, two.day extravaganza Kimallekaruselli in Hyvinkää!

Tickets to both events can be found both via my Linktree as well as via the links above! Hope to see you there <3 

Helsinki Burlesque Festival 2014

Hallo!
There is NO time to waste if you want to be a part of the glitz & hooblah of the annual Helsinki Burlesque Festival: the tickets are selling like crazy so I strongly suggest you get yours from Tiketti as we speak! A wonderful line up once again...can´t wait to see Kitten de Ville, Perle Noire, Jett Adore and a whole bunch of other lovelies! Not to mention: our favourite Blue Bunny is back in toon <3

Scotty the Blue Bunny <3

Carpe Diem

My blue, spandex-clad friend was right (again). All of a sudden I want to make a stupid reference to mothers always being right, but maybe it´s not that far fetched? Scotty the Blue Bunny has been doing and breathing burlesque since the Tyrannosaurus walked the earth (according to himself - I would never dare to say that. The rule of "don´t guess the age of a drag queen" also goes for spandex bunnies in my book)  so he *knows* his shit. So I took his advice, put down my phone and did not take one single picture of the show last night. There were professional photographers present. As usual. 

Last night was History in Making- an evening of all male performers in Hellsinki, three newbies on stage among a stone hard line up. Pun intended ;) It was living, stripping proof of that we have a pretty awesome scene going here!!! 

When I locate photos of performances I will beg, steal and borrow to get them, in the meantime here are some snaps from between the sets. Thank you everyone involved, Bettie and Epe for organizing, friends and performers for making a wonderful night! Love is in the air!

Thee Dizzy Daisies. I seem to have broken the suspender rule.

Sir Willy. <3

My friend who came to see burlesque for the FIRST time got a blue hug.

Pepper and Molla, revealed.

The Men.

More hugs.

Tinker Bell. She is so gorgeous even from behind.

Tink and Macha.

All Male! One week to go!

Friday. What a glorious excuse :) I have done work, 3h worth of dancing (of which two with Tinker Bell working on my up coming number) and now I´m sitting with some sparkling wine and shitloads
(I´m teling you: LOTS!!! as in thousands) of glitter stones, tons of glue and trying to pimp that costume up. Not doing that grand, let me tell you. I´m pretty tired and the wine is about the only thing sparkly at the table right now.

Well, no need to be sad, though. That is, it´s exactly ONE week to go to the first time ever- all male performers- burlesque-event in Finland! Aatamin asussa -ainakin melkein is ON next week Friday at Ravintola Kaisaniemi. There will be the wonderful Finnish performers in new combos and set up´s and it does not stop there:  Hedoluxe from Hamburg will be shaking his thang and there is my favorite Bunny to host the whole extravaganza!!! Do not miss this!  

Once more...

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a eat turn of the year, I know I did...the "Come as you are NOT"-party was a blast and a few friends stayed over for the actual New Years Eve. Today finds me back at work, tired but happy!

This year the warm up club for the Helsinki Burlesque Festival is organized almost a month before the actual event but boy! oh boy! what an evening this will be :) The stage will be filled with boys and men ONLY so don´t miss this! Put aside whatever notions you might have of the men in burlesque and come see what it *really* is! Host of the evening will be the magnificent Scotty the Blue Bunny!!! Tickets 20e from Tiketti!

Stockholm!

I forget that Stockholm is such a great city. Then, when there, I get overwhelmed by the atmosphere, people and places to go to and see. Why don't I visit more often?!?
I had a blast there last weekend. A extra bonusfun was bumping into Scotty the Blue Bunny at the Burlesque brunch at the park and getting to spend some time with him the day after. Thank you also to the people who organized the brunch, my girl Pepper and the vintage folk, Petri for being a sweetheart & a great host (pantertanten!) and Annika for being ... you <3
One picture tell more than thousands of words so here goes, in no specific order a few snaps from the trip. Have a great Tuesday!!! Ta!
