Power of make up

I often hide behind red lipstick. No, really. I know that a lot of people think that wearing fire engine red lipstick will make you stand out more, maybe so...-but nobody will notice your tired looking eyes! I have gotten many compliments at work about how "perky" I always look or how I can look so good that time in the morning (before 8am) and the answer I always give is: it´s the lipstick. There are not many places I go to without any make up, but granted if I´m home, especially in the summer running around I have no problem what so ever to be clean faced. I just like to put "my face on", it´s a ritual in the morning that wakes me up, gives me time to think and hopefully makes me look a bit less gloomy especially this time of the year.

That being said I think about the blog post Veera wrote a while back about getting shit for not photo shopping her pictures as well as about beauty ideals all in all, I´ve also skimmed on the subject of ideal, norms and gender on several occasions, one being e.g this and it seems to be a hot potato still, as it should be. So inspired by Veera I´ll post another make up free face here. Both pictures are taken last Saturday, first one at approx. 7pm and the other at 01am. 

See what I mean with the lipstick :) ???

P.S I´m really bummed because OF COURSE I can´t get my favourite lipstick in Finland anymore. If you find Diorific nr 003 Abracadabra anywhere I will pay for the postage!!!!

Have a great week!

Before.

After.

Photos with Jirina

Yesterday morning I packed my car and headed to Hellsinki for a photo shoot with Pepper and Sandy. Jirina took the pictures and Tea was nice enough to let us shoot at the beautiful old movie theater turned party location Astoria. I´m really looking forward to seeing how they turn out since we had a blast :)

Here are some of my iphotos, stinky as they are you get an idea hihi!

Have a great Sunday!!! Oh, and don´t forget to come and see Thee Dizzy Daisies in Teerenpeli Tease next Saturday!! I´m premiering with a brand new number...

Feather headed ladies!

Independence day

Happy 95th Independence day Finland! I'm happy to live in a country where I can be creative in my own crazy way.

Cats!

Veera took some great photos in Pori. Here´s some of our new version of the Kitteh!-number; the original one being a trio number with Rudie Ruthless, the new one a duo (also with a different song). 

It´s so much fun to do this! 

Now i have to pack for tomorrow, my calendar is jam-packed until Xmas (and a bit after) so crossing fingers I get everything done - and remember everything :)

Have a great end of the week, a beautiful Finnish independence day on Thursday, and oh yeah- it´s my birthday tomorrow but who is counting anymore ;)

Ba-da bling

Sometimes, quite often actually, bling can save a girls week. Getting my new outfit together...bits and pieces.
Tomorrow more coreography again. I think the yoga helps me concentrate :)

The Saturday pics on a Sunday

...and here are the photos from last week Saturday taken in Pori! I´ve been trying to work on my Lucia-coreo, somehow it seems that I have glue for brains or then that upcoming workshop I´ve planned today took all my juices. Well, hope that flow yoga I plan to go to tonight will restore some energy in me! Have a great Sunday <3

Backstage, crammed :) Pepper, Cherrie, Olivia and me

Christmas feelings

 Thank you Sinsational Joulugaala and all you wonderful people, both organizers and audience for last night! Oulu sure treats us well!

I´m home safe and sound after blizzards, late airplanes and such. And for some reason I got myself a merry Xmas mood, I had to put on Frank Sinatra´s Christmas album and bought some season flowers. I think it´s the snow that is affecting my brain :)

We got some questions last night about burlesque in Oulu and as I said, there is a very active crowd organizing lovely events up in the North. If you´re interested you should check out their Xmas party at the Vanha Paloasema on the 15th of December, facebook will tell you more!

Thee Dizzy Daisies will be in Teerenpeli Tease that same night so if you are in Tampere come see us there!

Dizzy faces waiting for take off!

After the show last night
