Stalls at our Disney Christmas

This Christmas, not only are we blessed with a huge array of wonderful performers, but we also have a delightful amount of stalls selling some absolutely fabulous things!

Lush Cosmetics will be there selling their new range of Make Up and providing our guests with beautiful Make Overs! They also have a special offer exclusive to Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque. Anyone attending our Disney Christmas can email Lush and order goodies for collection at our show, if you quote code 'SOBB' they will even give you a FREE GOODY BAG, so what are you waiting for?

One of our favourite stalls, Von Harlots will also be there on the night of the show selling a range of unique hand-crafted products including decorative cushions, fabulous fascinators and naughty nipple tassels, as well as a new range of Christmas Decorations. Von Harlot is a favourite costume-maker of Secrets' Founder and Owner: Deadly Nightshade because she makes "lovingly hand-crafted items that are beautifully unique, as well as long-lasting and durable."

We would also like to introduce a number of new stalls to you this Christmas, the first of which is Magnificently Macabre, makers of one-off unique hair accessories, headpieces, jewellery and burlesque pasties. Magnificently Macabre can cater to all styles from rockabilly and pin-up to gothic and lolita and  they also make custom bespoke pieces from creepily cute zombie headbands to decadent gothic miniature hats and burlesque fascinators. "I started modelling in April 2011 under the name "Madame Zara" and found that hair accessories I wanted for shoots were not readily available. The concepts and ideas I had in my head were nothing like the accessories I could buy, and so I turned to making my own for shoots. I then found that people showed interest and commented on them and so I decided to share my designs with others, and that's when "Magnificently Macabre- by Madame " was born."

Our next stall is 'Alternative Wireworks' and they make bespoke crystal and wirework pieces including masks, crowns, hats and chokers. Couture designs made to order: Wedding, prom, masquerade, carnival, theatre, alternative, festival, faery, mermaid, gothic. Each piece is totally individual and Alternative Wireworks are also making some pieces exclusively for our show, as well as some little stocking fillers and burlesque charms. They are also very kindly donating a custom-made cuff up to the value of £50 to our raffle, so make sure you purchase your tickets on the night of the show to be in with a chance of winning!

An 'Alternative Wireworks' crown
Last up, we have new stall 'Totty Lime Juice' providing exotic hair candy for sassy sirens. Each of their pieces is a hand made one off. Beautifully colourful hair pieces, unusual and luscious. They are donating a choice of two hair pieces to our raffle as well!

So come and do some delightful Christmas shopping at our show this December and be sure to purchase a raffle ticket to be in with a chance of winning a wonderful prize from all of the stalls listed above!
