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!

We have fallen in Love...

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who performed, attended or helped out at Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Falls in Love on Sunday!

The event was reviewed by the wonderful Sofire Rosa and will be featured in 'Toast' magazine and online Burlesque magazine, 'Debased' next month.

We fell head over heels for you all and our heads are now swimming with flowers, candy and the smell of sweet perfume and our hearts are heavy with obsession, desire and envy!

We would like to thank everyone who took part in our performer auction, especially those of you who bid on our delicious SotBB boys and girls!  Special mentions to Warren Peace, Deadly Nightshade and Duke O'Growl who achieved the highest bids of the night!  Also, let us give a big hand to our wonderful maid Stephanie, a.ka. Coco de Mol who did a wonderful job of tending the 'Love Booth' all night, serving you champagne and chocolates on your 'date' and generally just being as gorgeous and glamorous as possible!

We began our evening of luuurve by dishing up a big plate of 'Envy' as Cherry Du Bois and Deadly Nightshade fought for the affections of Knickerbockerglory at the on stage 'bus stop'! 

Then we had Susie Von Garter perform her sickly sweet love heart shaped balloon pop, complete with heart shaped 'LollyPOP' which was used to pop her pink balloons.

Followed by the curvacious blonde Sian de Leir showing off her burning desire with a forbidden 'Fire Fan' act which left us all a-flame for her love. 

We then had our hunk of the hour Duke O'Growl sing with the beautiful Knickerbockerglory and they both said 'Something stupid' like 'I Love You'! 

All the way from London, Vivica Devine showed us what misplaced love is like when she fell for a vampire! 

Then Pansy Cheung had us mesmerised with her belly dance of devotion and worship originating from Orissa, India. 

We then welcomed Duke O'Growl back to the stage along with our sultry, sexy and down-right delicious compere Mr. Warren Peace as they sang a duet of epic proportions and Duke narrowly avoided a good touching...amongst other things! 

The gorgeous Sian de Leir was then welcomed back to the stage as she decided whether 'He Loves me, He Loves me Not' whilst clutching a bouquet of red roses dressed in ruby red satin. 

Duke O'Growl then serenaded his lucky date on stage and began to do her a little bit of a striptease...we are disappointed that this did not continue...and we will be having stern words... 

Depravity Jane then took to the stage and showed us how an all American cow-girl falls in love, Jane style! 

Vivica Devine then came back to walk down the aisle in a wedding dress only to get jilted at our on stage alter!  She then pulled some fabulous isis wings out of her wedding dress and whirled around the crowd deciding it hadn't been such an 'Imperfect Day' after all.

Making her debut solo performance we welcomed SotBB door-girl Scarlet Noir to the stage as she showed us the 'Crazy' side of love with a mad and hilarious routine involving the destruction of a teddy bear, a poster and some flowers...poor teddy...

Knickerbockerglory then sang 'Perhaps' to a coy Warren Peace, hoping for an answer and getting a kiss!

The svelte-like Warren Peace then owned our stage with his fabulous rendition of 'I Will Always Love You', teasing our audience along the way.

Duke O'Growl took to the stage for the very last time with Dante Powerhouse to sing another beautiful duet which set our hearts-a -flutter.

Finishing off the night perfectly was Depravity Jane wishing Deadly Nightshade a 'Happy Birthday' by presenting her with a Birthday cake.  Jane then teasingly rubbed the cake all over herself whilst Nightshade watched her Sailor Jerry's cake (hand-made by the 'Mad hatters Cupcake Co') get destroyed! 

All in all, we had a wonderful night and experienced all sides of love!  A big thank you goes out to our three glamorous door-girls who just looked simply stunning all evening and to our D.J Mr. Vince Spitfire who always does a fabulous job.  He did a great job on Sunday having to cope with all manner of weird and wonderful song formats whilst feeling a little worse for wear!  We heart Vince!  Also, let's hear it for all of the guys and gals at West Street Live for allowing us to turn their venue into our own little love den for the evening...and to whoever had to clean up all of the cake...urm...sorry!

Much love,
