Beatrix Von Bourbon
dashing, moving and stripping
Well, I am back from Paris, tired, booze weathered yet filled with zest from the Crazy Horse. And I now have a lovely forum up and running discussing the male burlesque over at the ministry of burlesque, visit, read, and add. http://www.ministryofburlesque.com/off-topic/12676-british-heart-boylesque-research.html#post130979
Beatrix Von Bourbon, Vicky Butterfly, Joe Black, Amanda Love have all been adding their views, so jump in if you can.
I was invited by the beautiful Lola la Belle http://www.myspace.com/lolalabelle to perform at the protest again Camden Council gig, COCO DE MER SHOW, however I will sadly be away. Damn, of all the places places in the UK where the Council should fully understand the potential of creative arts, yet sadly, this the red tape country. So for all those involved, kick em in the roses.
I’m around the globe on research interviews so might not blog for a while, however I will leave you with this. A Cocktail Tease. My new act. Please give ideas, what would you like to see me doing? Yum.
Chelmsford Fling Fest
Well, I its 12:26 and I have yet to shower and clean the make up off my face from last nights gig. A few hours of sleep on Jay’s sofa, and a very pleasant breakfast in his garden in Brighton this morning. So with a fuzzy head and a filthy body I will attempt to recall the Fling festival.
Beatrix Von Bourbon put together a great team, a solid and colourful variety, including classic stripteases from Vendetta Vain, mind boggling juggling from Remi Darbois, hilarious stand up and comedy sets from Anil Desai, spot on pole burlesque acts from Miss Glory Pole (give me that pole) Mysti Vines stand up talking vagina, funny, Miss Margot’s incredible balancing acts and Chrys Columbine’s delicate stripteases.
Sitting cheek by jowl with us in the cabaret tent were Miss Behave, Chris a modern clown and emcee and a team of soft ropers, clowns, and other such wonders.
For me, it went pretty well, the re-considered mouse is working well, its still a little messy and the confetti popper I am using is unreliable. I think I can play a little more with this act, fleshing out the wrongness that I am drawn to. Pubic hair cough ball methinks.
The Squid sadly suffered, due to the odd and constricting conditions the festival placed upon the venue. These included time constrictions, as well as power constrictions which after a day of the venue having power cuts and other technical problems, which had left us running late, left poor Chrys and myself and Mysti bolting through our final acts. So for me it was a bit blurry. Focus was placed on exiting rather than being.
However, bar the technical oddities and time issues, the team were incredibly professional and got through it all without throwing hissy fits, hats off to Miss Glory Pearl who continued her pole routine after both lights and sound had cut out.
Reflecting upon the night, mmmm, the heart is big and cumbersome, I want someone to design a slot together metal heart/pole, easily transportable for me, any sponsors please raise a hand. Next, I want to reconsider the squid and get the squid ink back. I’m thinking water bombs and paddling pools. I may also need to reconsider the scooter for venues without side stage entrances.
The rest of today will be rest, sorting out the costumes and perhaps doing a little reading.
HOT MUFFINS
Well, Its 1:30 am, and I have just arrived home in the deep south. Beer is in my hand and a toasty has already hit the belly. Hot Muffins was lovely, and I have to say this, Beatrix Von Bourbon, Missy Malone and Dolores Delight were exceptionaly nice gals. It was a fanatastically chilled event for me. I exhibited none of my previously wine filled slutty activities, cavorting amongst the audience mostly nude. I’ll leave that for madame Jo Jos. This time, it was layzing on the floor of a swealtering dressing room talking sausages with Missy, chilling out side chatting masculinities and cartoons with Beatrix, getting my ass spanked once or twice and generally enjoying a bit of peace in the Garden of the Oakford Working Mens Club.
