I'm on Youtube! AND... I just applied for London Burlesque Week! Eek!

Eeek indeed! I was so excited when I pressed send on the email...! I really, really hope I get picked, though the chances are slim to none...

This year the newcomers competition is only open to London based performers, so unfortunately, I can't apply for it that. Which is a real shame, because last year, Frank & Phoenix did it, as did Felicia and I went to see it and it was amazing!


Last year's winner was Ginger Blush, this is her doing her winning

Laurel & Hardy act. So, as I can't apply for the newcomers competition, instead, I have to apply for a normal performer slot which is why I fear my chances of being chosen to perform are slim to none!! Every other performer in the world will be applying for stage time!

This application is also the reason I finally uploaded a Youtube clip. I'd been avoiding doing this yet as I was hoping for a better vid, as the act has improved a little since Tournament of the Tease. Also, I had wanted to snip the judges comments off the end, but having finally mastered an editing programme for video (I have learnt so many new skills since I took up Burlesque!) Youtube won't accept the file type! So, I've left them on, they're all positive afterall. See for yourself...!

Oh for god's sake! This video has been 'uploading' for hours!!! Forget it, here's the youtube link!

Talulah's Hollywood Glamour Party, the After Party!

The second half went without a hitch! Yippee! Ginger's magic act was spellbinding! (see what I did there?!), the audience loved it. Valerie's 'Afterdark' routine was literally mesmerising, I couldn't take my eyes off her. And Sophia's finale, well, u saw those pics. That's the kinda performer I wanna be! She was really amazing. This was me, hanging out with Wynston in a rare unbusy moment!



My maid outfit didn't really work out! Maybe next time. My time as a maid was relatively easy, but thats because no one gave me any complicated instructions! I did find it had not to try to steal the spotlight when I was on stage picking shit up though, I wanted to break into a cheeky routine. One time, involving a magic wand, I heard a slight titter in the audience.. It was all I could do to stop myself from milking it. Now we're letting our hair down in Firebug, hurrah!

Talulah's Hollywood Glamour Party Part deux...

Nooooo! Disaster! Failed at my first stage maid duty!!! First act, Valerie, needed a chair on stage, that's all, one chair! I was at the back of the room, on the door, all of a sudden Valerie's on stage - no chair!! I ran, but wasn't fast enough, the poor girl had to enlist the help of her photographer friend to get a stool! There was a slight mix up you see, there was supposed to be a gap between the band (The Boucaneers pictured!)


& the burlesque, but there was some back stage panic and the compere announced Valerie a little too soon. Valerie dealt with the mishap like a true pro though and rocked the stage. See, the perfect peach :)
