Why do all my show ideas require ridiculously elaborate props!?

One of my favourite things to do is to daydream scenarios for new acts. I imagine myself on stage in all sorts of fantastic guises, but unfortunately they will probably remain no more than extravagant dreams, as when it comes to actually working out a practical reality, they all involve impossible or unattainable props! Such as giant teapots, antique chaise lounges... all the kind of things that would mean taking a small removal van to each show, a troupe of stage hands and a dramatic lighting set!
Oh well, maybe one day.
The act I'm working on right now isn't quite so grand, although it does have a couple of tricky prop questions that I haven't quite managed to answer. There's a theme beginning to appear here.. Uh-Oh.
I have my costume sorted at least... Well, almost. My Agent Provocateur corset is so close I can almost feel the cinch! A serious of misdeliveries and hostage taking by the post office have kept us apart too long. But we are due to be united at last on Friday and I'm so excited I could squeal! Black satin... Steel bones.. It ought to be the perfect fit, for me and my act!
Ah! Who needs ornate props when you have an AP corset!?
