Hawii with a twist !

Its been a few days since last I wrote. I have been totally busy at work. This Monday we finally began our journey. The image is from my first day ! Sorry for the "sleepy" look. :) Its just outside our ( luxurious) apartment.

The first two weeks of rehearsal is a workshop were we will be getting to know one another as well as working a lot physically. Today we had dancing, singing and drumming on the programme. And let me tell you... African dancing is hard work !! I will be sooooo fit come march ( but sooo sore tomorrow...)

I don´t know if I told you, but I have this intention of loosing a bit of weight ( 10kg actually) and I´ve put a fine prize at the end of the road to keep me going. If, no when I succeed I will buy myself a corset from "What Katie did"!

Also, thank you Jessica for your kind words, how nice to know that I have a blog friend who shares my love for LIW ! :)

And thank you so much Pink Champagne for another ( my second! ) blog award !!

I haven´t given away one yet, because I would like to make first. But how ? Does any one know Help ! :)

My burlesque night out

I was actually planning to have some pictures from my first burlesque event, but... my camera ran out of battery... :(

So I decided i would post some more outrageously beautiful Maya Hansen corsets ( I am now now a BIG fan !) That means that the three corset companies that truly"tickle my fancy" are Fairy Gothmother, Maya Hansen and the adorable What Katie did. And speaking of the latter read this great information I found on their website on how to find the perfect corset for your body.

It was great watching my first Burlesque performance ! We were a large and mixed crowd. Some gals had dressed up in their best vintage outfits. I wore my Stop Staring dress, drank champagne and hollered as loudly as all the rest ! :)

I must say it was a sensuous, funny and truly ( dare I say it ? ) feminist experience, as each lady unveiled only as much as she wanted to, as well as there were all kinds of bodies. It just reinforces my desire to eventually try myself ! :)

Also if you ever pass by Stockholm be sure to visit Pompom Parlour


Everything in the shop is exquisite and cheek-in-tongue fun ;)


There´s everything from retro make-up products from Paul & Joe to great corsets and lingerie

To more adventurous pieces... This is a kind of chair for two ( and no, I will not explain further ;)

They have so many beautiful objects like this dazzling Swarowski little burlesque ... whip. I end this post with a picture of Burlesque Queen Dita von Teese ( and as you admire and envy her tiny waist, remember what you have just read... )

I WANT... ALL OF THEM ! :) Also, take a look at this video of her Spring/summer Cllection 2010.

Are you a corset lover ? ;)

All corsets and the opera coat are from Fairy Goth Mother who do the most AMAZING corsets !! See for yourselves !



I totally LOVE this outfit ! Because I have "une grande derriere" ( yes, go look it up ;) I am more found of corset models that go all the way down on your hips. What Katie did has a beautiful Morticia corset that Ive been wanting for ages... But I might just go for this one instead !



This is also exquisite.



Wouldn't it be grand to wear it with this opera coat !



And if I get to be bold enough to do some burlesque dancing ... I would totally buy this fantastic piece ! Is she wearing one of Frollein von Sofas pompoms ? ;)



Personally, I more in favour of the under bust corset, as I have a small bust, but quite broad chest. That way you can wear your own bra. Isn't this one pretty !



However there are many over bust corsets that are beautiful.



I also love rich fabrics which is why I was attracted to this one.



Finally, I added this one for all you polka-dot lovers out there ;)
