Halloween

This Halloween...

Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque's sister company 'Alluring Delights', which is the brainchild of SotBB regulars Scarlet Noir and Cherry Du Bois, opens its doors for the very first time.

With a script written by Cherry Du Bois and Deadly Nightshade and performances from SotBB regulars, as well as faces that are new to SotBB, the Alluring Delights 'Halloween Thriller' follows the story of two innocent and virtuous characters: Alison Wonder and Little Cherry Red (played by Deadly Nightshade and Cherry Du Bois).  We begin in their boudoir, the night before they embark on a trip to Grandma's house, where they dream up all kinds of alluring and frightening things such as witches, dolls, puppet masters and scary wolves.  Thrilled audiences will be able to watch on as the pair interact with their nightmarish creations, and sometimes run away from them, leaving the stage filled with burlesque, cabaret and dance performances.

Our heroines then awake the next day to find that all their nightmares have vanished and they were only dreaming after all!  They pull up their socks, pack their picnic basket and take a trip through the woodland where they find a couple of helpful happy creatures to show them the way to Grandma's house through the mediums of striptease and song.  On their way to Grandma's, they decide to stop for a picnic and to take in the view for a while...but as they unpack their picnic basket...the smell of death is in the air...

Our narrator for the evening comes in the form of the gorgeous and ghoulish Mr. Warren Peace who will take you through our story chapter by chapter, throwing in some delicious performances himself along the way!

Our story ends with a 'thrill' that will not soon be forgotten as a whole host of grisly ghouls from every tomb crawl in to seal Alsion and Cherry's doom!

There is nowhere else you would rather be this Hallow's Eve...so bring your pumpkin's, put on your costumes and come along to The Library Theatre to celebrate all things unholy...

Tickets are now only £10 from http://www.alluringdelights.co.uk/

Much love,

Burlesque and Vintage Events in October

Hello darlings,

And welcome to the dark and cold month of October...

To keep you warm during this Autumn month we have a few little burlesque events to tide you over until the next Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque show which will be on the 5th December 2010.

The biggest event this month comes from SotBB's sister company 'Alluring Delights' who have ventured into the theatre to bring you a burlesque show filled with thrills and chills!  Make sure that you are nowhere else this Halloween as this will be a show to remember!  Come to The Library Theatre in Sheffield dressed in your best, your most horrific or your most terrifying and prepare to be taken on journey through "all things dark, weird, wonderful and sexy" on "a Hallows Eve that will not soon be forgotten".

Featuring SotBB's very own compere Mr. Warren Peace and a bucket load of your favourite SotBB performers....plus some new ones...this show takes you on a journey through Alison Wonder (played by Deadly Nightshade) and Little Cherry Red's (played by Cherry Du Bois) nightmares as their dreams begin to become real in this burlesque nightmare!  To find out more and to book your tickets, please visit http://www.alluringdelights.co.uk/.

If you are searching for something kitsch to wear during this cold month or you would like to find the perfect vintage outfit to parade around in at Alluring Delights' 'Halloween Thriller' then why not visit 'The Vintage Fair'?  This month the fair takes place in Leicestershire but will return to Sheffield very soon.  Whilst you are there you can wave 'hello' to Deadly Nightshade who is resident promo and pin up girl along with Lola Valentine who performed at the first ever SotBB show!

Taking place on the 9th October is Emily Strange's Oxjam Jim Jam which is a charity event featuring Warren Peace, Deadly Nightshade, Cherry Du Bois and Depravity Jane amongst a whole host of other performers and musicians.  This event takes place in 'Penelope's' under the Odeon and is sure to be a good 'un.

Also, this month, when you find time to sit and chill out in a big cardigan with a hot drink, why not pick up your free copy of 'Toast' magazine and take a glimpse inside at the review of 'Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Falls in Love' written by Sofire Rosa?  You can also find us in online burlesque magazine 'Debased' this month too.  Ooooh goody!  We get about a bit!

Much love,
...And Happy Halloween!
