ANAPHYLAXIS

Let us continue on the inspiration road!

Today´s pick is my personal favourite, Anna Fur Laxis with her absolutely sassy, naughty-but-nice, fun and inventive magician routine we witnessed at The Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas last June. She was the First Runner-Up for Miss Exotic World and as you can see, the title was well-deserved!




And dear gods, IS she hot or what. I´d marry her in an instant.

HADI HADI HADI HO

Inga Ingenue at Viva Las Vegas weekender's burlesque competition, which she won.

We - and now I am not only referring to my royal Cherry self but to us as a group - think that if you're going to do classic burlesque you have to do it with a twist and just not plain sassyness. I love this number as it's kind of classic and kind of not. And she moves so well to the music!

We got to see this live in June in Vegas as Inga was performing at the same night as we did.

HEAVEN OR LAS VEGAS

Long time no see! After a well-deserved winter break the Bitties are rested and eager to face new things to come - and boy, will there ever be some, and then more! Some of it will remain a surprise for a little while still (but I can assure you we´re chuffed!!!), but some of it is fancy news already -

- WE´RE GOING TO LAS VEGAS! In June! That´s right, The Itty-Bitties will be ruffling their plumage at the one and only Burlesque Hall of Fame June the 2nd. This year there will be more Finns taking the stage there than ever before, because Olivia Rouge and LouLou D´Vil will be there as well! Ain´t it marvellous. Expect long and excited rants about preparations, packing, performances and what-not.

Furthermore, our first-ever burlesque beginners´ course was finished and celebrated with sparkling wine and cheerful performances within the pink walls of Bittycave - here you can see the teachers, trying to look as stern and proper as teachers should...



Also, three of us got the chance to shoot with the fantastic (and oh so sweet!) Kaylin Idora during her visit to Finland; more on that, too, later, we hope, but here are some teasers to go:

Cherry Dee:



Tinker Bell in the snowy forest:



( ... that was by the way the quickest photo shoot I´ve ever had the pleasure to attend. Twenty minutes tops, and we were done. Of course, the snow and the cold helped with being very efficient!)

And Vera De Vil as an odalisque:




That´s all for tonight, kids, but watch this space... watch this space!

(Oh and! I´ll personally kiss anyone who knows the band that inspired the post title... hee!)
