<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The second instalment in Electro Swing sweeping the West Midlands gripping Worcester firmly by its tail feathers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The Straight Aces got everybody warmed up and suitably lubricated with some fantastic dancing and some great tracks. I only wish I hadn't spent so much time on the door so I could have enjoyed more of their set. They may only be a 3 piece but they really pack a punch.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/KhandieKhisses">Khandie Khisses</a> was a brilliant way to open the show with her swing act. Classically 'Noir' and definitely took the audience by storm. I have seen this performer previously and she is refreshingly frank and honest about, well everything! Character on and off stage I hope to see again :) and her second act (I'm naming it Queen Kong) was genius! Exactly what the audience weren't expecting and that's the way she likes it....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">If you weren't already aware once a year for the last 5 years there is a London Burlesque Festival in the form of World Burlesque games. Over a period of a week or so there are many shows showcasing the best of British and International talent on many stages. This year I attended the Male and Female Crown performances (Uk and International over 3 shows) and the British newcomers. I have decided to do a whole post about the Boylesque performances soooon which is the show I enjoyed the most (wonder why ;) but below are some of the rest of the acts of note from the week you should look out for in future. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/chichirevolver">Chi Chi Revolver</a> was my favorite UK performer whom I had never come across before. Her act was a great mix of cheek, and skill. We've all seen Hula Hoopers before (or at least if you havn't then you should!) but Hula hooping burlesque was a winner with me. The hoops didn't stop for the whole routine for stocking removals and full striptease routine and at one point twirling a whole load of hoops at once, I couldn't help but be impressed. I should note a`t this point that there is a 1st 2nd and 3rd in each show and I was very surprised when Chi Chi didnt place :(</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Im sure you know by now that I am a fan of the next act and have featured her in my events previously on more than one occaision. As always <a href="http://www.facebook.com/eliza.delite">Eliza DeLite</a>s "Like a Prayer" act was breath taking. In my experience when you see an act that you've seen before and you still cant take your eyes away and its better than the first time then there's nothing I enjoy more! The costume had changed a little since last time but for the better and more sparkly than ever. I am thrilled to say she came 1st in the World Female Crown. In the Female crown there were one or two robotic acts. I enjoyed the second part of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Coco-Deville/110560322288992">Coco Deville</a>s act with a large balloon bounced to the music with a sparkley finale with a really gorgeous perot costume.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Venus-Noir/238378129565076">Venus Noir</a> had a really stunning pair of web design fans that went with her spider and the fly routine. Her costume was impressive with a pole reveal in her dress and stocking removal with shoes ON! Nothing I had ever seen before. (2nd place)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I did find is slightly disappointing during the shows that there were some acts that bore similarities that should have been spread more evenly throughout. I saw quite a few fire acts this weekend, one of which in the Newbies category there was so much fire it was quite extraordinary, even just that the sprinklers didn't go off.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">There were a lot of fantastic costumes during this show, too many to even mention! <a href="http://www.facebook.com/marlene.vonsteenvag">Marlene Von Steenvag</a> (Berlin) had the most beautifully embellished Kirks Folly esque garden costume. It was a lovely theme executed well and a fantastically intricate costume. Reminded me of snow white singing with the animals. </span></div>

Her caterpillar to butterfly routine was conceptually good, visually amazing whist still sexy and bug like at the same time. Show stopping showgirl. She really got the crowd going late on in the night when everyone was a bit tired and feeble she soon whipped everybody back into a frenzy. </span></div>

I really enjoyed the routine. I was however very disappointed at the reveal when with her back to the audience there was a sparkle on the back, shall we say, but on turning around no merkin or pastie in sight. Full frontal nudity. I'm not sure how well this went down with the crowd. I am no prude however i do believe that burlesque is an elegant art of eluding to ones feminism and sexuality not just standing there naked! That was a dissapointing ending for me to a promising routine. </span></div>

This 7 piece 8 piece 5 on the night piece band of swashbuckling mentalists made my night. After a significant amount of organisational disasters around PA systems and kit due to the band not having access to a van on this weekend (typical), I'm not going to lie, I had everything crossed it was worth the hassle and It absolutely was! They were entertaining with lots of banter, great warm up for the audience, they looked the part and with songs such as Ladyboy (called Steve) how can it be bad. Theres an eclectic selection of instruments (including a air tube operated keyboard?) and general hilarity. Due to the show being a Sunday and time constraints due to public transport unfortunately the set was short lived I would love to book them again but be warned me heartys with this much crew you need a big PA!</span><br />

The backing track was slick it all made sense and merged in the right places. Good audience movement and kept everybody transfixed from beginning to end. A couple of people were disappointed he'd kept his clothes on but I however disagree it was a different performance than the last and was very well put together. The crowd were wowed!

Very different to have a couple performing as a duo. The bride of Frankenstein theme to me didn't really come across too well but this would not have been apparent to the audience as I was obviously told about the act before hand therefore I had an idea in my head of what to expect. The wing dance was very good , good use of space and the costumes worked well my only criticism was that maybe the full reveal was a bit too early and there was a lot of time when Stella was on stage in her final undress. The Dandy Inferno did some indoor body burning and fire eating for us as well later on. Very impressive and professional, Pasties and eye patch very well made and looked the part. Also impressed with the heart latex skirt worn by Stella as the assistant.</span><br />

Surprises in the costume here and there, make-up was good in general its not often you find a performer that creates a character, not just a routine. I will definitely be booking Flixx in the future. </span></div></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiAGkW8xI5YIseLuI6W9VRG0Q7Z5WS-S2y2fT_m0K6SVk9_ITEWxUWUJ8IpVysSy9ZynGRt1BPVwmAPqb2gie8owNoiYi2l6dv0HNziBWKPYpcFn1tMzMQpCjiVSLl2FUa_KHExzKHKRg/s1600/324278_284053384945398_260086567342080_1361950_3820651_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiAGkW8xI5YIseLuI6W9VRG0Q7Z5WS-S2y2fT_m0K6SVk9_ITEWxUWUJ8IpVysSy9ZynGRt1BPVwmAPqb2gie8owNoiYi2l6dv0HNziBWKPYpcFn1tMzMQpCjiVSLl2FUa_KHExzKHKRg/s320/324278_284053384945398_260086567342080_1361950_3820651_o.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

I have a small leather bound book with tattoo sketches in, I have also made my own note book with a binding tool courtesy of my sister. I used different pages, papers and images but I'm too precious to use it because I love the way it turned out so much. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Why now? The reasons for this project now is, not only because I'm interested in it but as I have just moved jobs into the field of mental health I think it would be beneficial as a spontaneous and personal activity that they could do with or without me, even along side me. This would also give me more experience in the field of Art Therapy activities. So, this got me searching for inspiration, and here's what I have learnt and found at the early stages, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Had a good look through this blog and found some useful lists hints tips and do's and don'ts in the </span><a href="http://artjournaling.blogspot.co.uk/p/new-to-art-journaling.html"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">New To Art Journaling Section</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> by the very creative Kelley Luckett who has a story very similar to that I wish for myself, a creative soul who went to study Art Therapy which is where I want to be in a few years from now.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">But this was my Fav so far... </span><a href="http://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/balzer_designs/2012/03/art-journal-every-day-getting-started.html"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Julie Fai-Fan Balzer's Blog</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> is informative has great tutorials on how to conquer a blank page, tips such as gesso and masking tape on you inside spine (genius) and a FAQ section that had me sorted pretty quickly with resources about how to get started, themes and lists etc.</span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8JhOj8d0OuLQEsqA6Mi5uX1skdVe_WN07stUhd4QPejJ55SO48VJwQshY0PhMffspHr67EWDzz7POsiTnKGxk_j2udYVmqEjkGy6r47sRLxxu7o7iTMDo0l2E414gpXU-UTqEDkJuJws/s1600/pocketchallenge+(squidoo.com).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8JhOj8d0OuLQEsqA6Mi5uX1skdVe_WN07stUhd4QPejJ55SO48VJwQshY0PhMffspHr67EWDzz7POsiTnKGxk_j2udYVmqEjkGy6r47sRLxxu7o7iTMDo0l2E414gpXU-UTqEDkJuJws/s320/pocketchallenge+(squidoo.com).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Some of projects or challenges that caught my creativity were "The A-Z of me" and lists such as Things I love about me, places I want to go, things about my town and even illustrated recipes. Challenges you can set yourself, as the above taken from </span><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/journal-moleskine-sketchbook-art-inspiration-examples-page-spreads-photos?utm_source=google&utm_medium=imgres&utm_campaign=framebuster"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Squidoo, Art Journaling and prompts</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">. This reminds me of a project I did many years ago at college which I should upload to show you all soon. Other things that appeal to me, mostly as I adore music is doing illustrated albums by a certain artists, I remember doodling these when I was at school bored in lessons. I once has a whole A4 page of Aerosmith tracks in picture form :D. I Also like the thought of doing a kind of instruction manual of different tasks etc that I could set myself so I could pick some at random to run along side the project. So two books, one journal and one inspiration and prompts book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I also aspire to be able to do a little bit a day, even when I do 12 hr shifts even if I prep a page background or title/assign a project to a page.... SO</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">WHEN DOES THIS START I hear you cry. Well I am on the hunt for the book of choice in the next week or so. and I will thoroughly document this journey in the line of Art Therapy research. I have plenty of materials to get me started and previous work that I can draw from as inspiration. I will also upload previous art works completed with my support by people I have worked with with varied disabilities to document my Art Therapy interest and approach. </span><br />

Something that fills you with energy even though you're tired and fills you with ideas that you cant write down fast enough. After a grueling 12 hr day at work I have come home and decided to focus on how my work can work for me. As you may have seen a few posts ago, I want to be an art therapist. I have been working for young people with autism teaching life skills for 3 years now so with my fine art degree background I am going to try and make both worlds collide. I have joined an activity committee and have sat down tonight with an "Expressive Arts Activity Book" to get some ideas of projects.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I think first of all i need a kit. The BASIC kit needs to contain:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Collage images (words, magazines, textures, colours)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Paper (lots of)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Pens (Millions of)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Glue (sticks and PVA)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">exciting things! Stickers, glitter ribbon etc etc</span></li>
</ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So I have text my colleagues and friends and told them I am from now on collecting images and words from magazines on any theme. Travel, animals, children, words, photos and they can give them to me or leave them for me at work. The book suggests that I should cut these out myself so that participants with less dexterity can still join in. This is a great idea and I pile of images can be so inspiring! Also the book suggests as an ice breaker to make image cards, plain card with an image stuck on it so that it can be used as a basis for a piece of work for those daunted by an empty page. Genius! Once I have a good collage selection I will make a whole heap of these and carry them with me. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Sessions I could do that I have thought of include:</span></div><div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Make a city (drawer on the walls covered in paper, drawer around people and use collage)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Book making (sketch books, story books, concertina books...)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Drawing and Painting to music (Even a live band)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Paper mache (bowls, masks etc) </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Drawing on the floor (covered in paper, hands knees and feet)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Then there is the obvious, cards masks etc etc </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Still Life Drawing, for the more high functioning and arty types amongst them who get the bug... Draw their favorite items. </span></li>
</ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So I have just ran round my room like a nutter sacrificing items of mine that I have collected to use in collage, examples of books I have made (prototypes) and generally great things. Tissue, postcards, adverts and collage material. I have a carrier bag full of sacrificed materials and it feels good. Next step, go and buy a big box to keep it all in and maybe research book making activities...........</span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

I remember many years ago when I visited Greece being fascinated by these often ornate little boxes by the side of the road. Co-incidentally I had decided to E-mail a friend of mine who I met when I was last in Greece about these objects for some more information. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">She informed me they were memorials for people who had died and were often tended to by family members lighting candles and sometimes even writing letters. The boxes seemed to be full of images of Byzantine Icons (Saints as I understand it) and personal items. I felt a bit weird about photographing them so I saw far more than I photographed. As you can imagine they're all placed in dangerous places as they are accident sites so not the easiest things to get to and when they were in towns I was worried about seeming disrespectful by the local community with less than no knowledge of Greek! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So these are the images I have collected of a few I saw. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This was the closest memorial to my hotel on the side of a busy road. As you can see there are various images of byzantine icons and burners to be lit by relatives or friends. The plastic bottles often contained oil or flammable substances to fuel a flame. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This second example seemed a lot more personal to me with less bought for purpose items and was far more accessible so an enclosed front had been included. This was less ornate in appearance. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">There were many many examples that I drive past or saw at a distance that I just think are beautiful and intriguing items that I would love to know more about. There were some great shops in Rhethymnon which was the nearest town to where I was staying selling fab Byzantine items which I think would be for the purpose of these shrines. I bought some and did get some very strange looks lol When I get chance in natural light I will put them on here to look at. There were also large roadside shops selling the empty memorial boxes in all shapes colours and sizes in brick and wood mostly. They looked very grand. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I also visited a Monastery in Margarites where I lit a candle for my late father and enjoyed the beautiful imagery on the walls. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> I have never been particularly religious myself but have a particular interest in religious imagery and I have some old bibles mostly for their history and the messages to love ones inside the front covers always intrigue me. It seems to me that the memorials by the roadside are stunning examples of memorials and tributes to a love one. It struck me how they didn't seem at all depressing or tampered with in any way by the roadside. Unfortunately, such a think in Britain would probably be vandalised. Their is a great sense of respect in the Greek culture and this is a ritual as part of their nationality that I greatly admire. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I wish to learn a bit more about the Byzantine icons and what a few of them mean and I will post some of my icon pieces on here soon. </span><br />

I found this hinged tin at the Flea for the bargain price of £8. Its a very old toffee tin. I like the way its worn a bit on the front. The hinge fits well and its a snug closure. I was thinking of maybe lining this and filling it with some contents a bit like a collage with a 3D centre piece possibly or maybe a photograph?<br />

I turn 26 at the end of this month (this is not a midlife crisis lol) and when I originally graduated from DMU in Fine Art in 2008 I applied to study Art Therapy at Derby university. I was told at the time that I was too young in my feedback and I would be more prepared come 25 or so. Although I did not necessarily agree at the time I could see where they were coming from. A lot of the other applicants were older than me (considerably in some cases) and had a lot of work experience. Although coming from a degree I was strong in my Art background and had a consistent body of work. Since this set back I have almost scrapped the idea, due to the fact that in full time work (48hrs a week 12hr shifts) I have struggled to see how I can create conceptual work to a consistent standard in my spare time whilst allowing myself down time also (needed!). I have decided its time to work towards it and allowing myself a year in which to do so is plenty of time to prepare and also raise some effort in funds towards this.<br />
<br />
The universities that offered this course when I applied were few and more have probably taken on the course since. SO, as well as tattoo flash type art work (that I enjoy and have an interest in but have not much substance behind them) I will be doing small projects covering varied periods of time, some involving the service users that I support at work. Thus providing a varied base of work over a year long period.<br />
<br />
This is the theory anyway :S I have put together a brief photography project through work fairly recently for the young people to have cameras and take pictures that they want to take to see what we get and using the results to do collage and drawing work from. (I will post the full brief further down the line) I have had a positive response from staff and young people who want to take part (I should say I work with 16-25s with Autism and challenging behavior) and am waiting on some disposable cameras being ordered. I have chosen to do it this way to remove any materialistic value from the camera to encourage it to be taken and carried more freely with them. Also limiting the exposures and making it more personal to them, they can be left with complete responsibility of the camera.<br />
<br />
Anyway after this epiphany (caused by a small amount of alcohol and a colleague leaving for pastures new in "that lahndin"). I shall start to think of themes and areas of interest I can work on through photography research, pen, ink and collage. Its quite exciting. I also have friends setting up life drawing in the area which I will think about going to and some tattoo/pen and ink work thats been on the back burner for a while which needs finishing so time to get off my ass I think...............<br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Closely followed by a Royal Guard in the form of <b>Alli Katte</b> with a rather impressive weapon! I must admit at this point that I did stop taking photos at a fairly early stage due to the intimate nature of the venue and low lighting the photos didn't appear to be of a very legible quality although now I have then on my laptop they're nearly not as bad as I thought (But still not great).</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

I loved the concept of a coal miner bored of working wanting the glamorous life with diamonds and pearls. The outfit was very impressive and I know she stitched a lot of it on herself. It was a nerve wracking time for us all knowing her as we did and knowing Momma DeLite was in the audience but it has to be said (If i didn't say it before) she did the Leicester Demon Belles proud! she was without doubt one of the most impressive acts and dare I say some of the other acts did leave a lot to be desired.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

I'm not sure if its because they were leading me up a blind path with the term twisted although at times it really wasn't watchable! The compere I thought was really quite good a rockabilly guy by the name of Benjamin Louche, quite dark and quite funny. I particularly liked the song about getting fucked up! Low points, a man with his mohawk on fire (that smell was WRONG) and a man snorting a condom through his sinus cavity (that I could and SHOULD have gone the rest of my life without seeing!) but there were also some acts that were incredible. The best of which had to include the following 2:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>Vivi Valentine</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Did a stunning dance in an amazing 300 Esq costume as a high priestess with Romanesque theme. General glamour and hypnotism awaited the audience and then from nowhere there was water, poured out of urns by loyal subjects and then......*spoiler* she threw a large amount of gold glitter into the air and walked through it coating herself. It was a fantastic show with equal focus on costume and talent. One of the best things all week.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>Trixie Tassels</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Well, I don't have much to say about this one apart from, if you thought fire eating and general fire dancing was impressive check out flaming nipple tassels. Never seen anything like that. Considering a lot of girls with tassels didn't do a lot with them, this certainly made up for it! Awesome.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

It was sooo fragile and bought back childhood memories to me of the wind up jewellery boxes that used to play a song to you as a ballerina twirled around and round. This was definitely the best entrance and exit being static both times and placed and removed off stage by a helper in a fireman's lift with rigid shapes much like a mannequin. This act cant help but give you goosebumps and wasn't your average burlesque act. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

Although impressive to watch I can see why she (narrowly I'm sure) missed out on taking away an award due to the fact that the act was a fan dance involving impressive fan moves, some incredible lighting but she was however already in pasties and pants from the beginning. The act tho was really really impressive, those fans aren't light but she made it look effortless but FIERCE! The rock edge in the music and black outfit was very much my thing. And would you believe matching thong and shoes! Wowzers.

If aerial doesn't impress you (are you insane) but not only does she do aerial she also managed along with all the acrobatics to do a very good job at striptease down to Pasties. She's very striking in pose and look, her costume was really beautiful. I cant tell you enough how stupidly talented this woman is. If you ever get the chance to see her snap it up quick. She's an international treasure.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">In general all of the newcomers did a fab job there was no hiding behind expensive costumes, pure talent. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">All in all I'm sure you can see by my gushing review that amongst the good and the (incredibly) bad the highlights really where something else. I'm really hoping to go next year and take the highs with the lows just to see anything of the same standard again would be a pleasure.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

The various shows are in different places but in general its a week staying in Camden with all my lovely girlies. I have dabbled in a little bit of burlesque myself and have been to some very good................ and very bad burlesque shows in my time. Although it is a thoroughly mixed bag of tricks as to whether the show is organised well and the acts are good I would still risk it every time. When its good its very very good!<br />

</tbody></table>This stunning lady is Eliza Delight who is a friend if mine from the Leicester DMU Demon Belles society and a thoroughly mind blowing performer. The skill in which she entertains her audiences with so many different props, themes and situations are incredible. Her costumes alone are creative and a lot of things she uses as part of her performance are hand made. Every act it different but thoroughly stunning and she hasn't disappointed once when Ive seen her. I am really hoping to get this lovely lady to Worcester really soon and organise mt own event with some of my contacts and hopefully prove burlesque isn't just a fad! Some of her concepts for her acts are so beautiful and its a very delicate mix of grace and skill, the classy end of burlesque and the high end of skill and quality entertainment. She is going to be performing in the British Bombshells, best of the UK show on the 28th of this month but mark my words. You'll see her very soon I'm sure.<br />

I've heard this is the last year this year and although I hope this isn't the case I want to make sure I make the most of this year. I'm sure that the audience will look just as impressive as the performers and i will be attached to my camera all week. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: liberation-serif-1, liberation-serif-2, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
