Happy in a Corner

May 28

My brilliant ideas for burlesque continue.  I’ve decided nerdy burlesque is probably my favorite.  Hot women, nerdy themes, it makes me feel right at home.  I can geek out while everyone else just gets turned on.  Nah, there is both across the room.  I don’t know what I’m saying…

Anyway, tonight’s show was lacking three major fandoms - Joss Whedon, X Files and Star Trek.  I would love to pull out a sexy Scully burlesque.  That would be so much fun.  I have most of the costume already.  Now I just need a song and something sexy to do on stage…

Is Andromeda too obscure now?  Doing a Romy would be fun too.  She has such a cute outfit.

Suggestions?

So I’m turning into a real burlesque junkie.  Then again I’m going to support my friends, but also because the world is just fun.  Meeting people is turning out well.  I’m thinking I should kitten.  That would be fun I think.  Get all adorable and be a little entertainment.  Gotta get over that stage fright…

My first professional costume piece went over fantastic.  Violet loves it, and I love that she loves it.  Its going on tour with her so yay me!  I impressed the right person.

So much glitter though… all over the place, all over me.  Its been an eventful weekend of shows.

My pattern pieces for Violet’s costume look like jigsaw puzzles made of paper.  Oh wait, they are.

I think I’ve settled on my stage name.  Lilli Satine.  Let’s see what my friends think.  It feels good.

Successful day planning costumes for the lovely Miss Violet Deville.  She’s fantastic and she’s hiring me to work on her wind-up doll costume.  I’ll be working on a top for her which includes arms that look like doll parts.  I’m excited.  Black, mesh, purple, stripes and a little steam.  Couldn’t be more fun.  All I need is my sewing machine.
