Kuuton Klubi

Well hello again! I had a TOTAL BLAST last Saturday at The Ravishing Shangri-La Rubies' Halloween club, Kuuton Klubi! The lineup was delicious, and I had the great pleasure of relaxing and watching the second and third sets in good company since I was last in the first set. Letting my clumsy-crazy-juggler-clown out to play is always so much fun! 😁

Also, did you know that the Rubies-klubit have a team of top professionals just to take care of their life-stream? You've never seen a live-stream in so good quality, I promise! And the best thing is that even if you missed it, it is still available to be watched online until Saturday. Just follow this link to buy your access! 💛

And here go a couple of pictures of my being silly and having fun on stage, see you next time!

Kaamos Kabaree in Oulu

 Aaaahhh, what a weekend (and week!)! This week started with some surprising (very positive and a bit unexpected) news that concern my other profession (object conservation), so I haven't been able to post about this on time, but I was utterly delighted to be part of this year's Kaamos Kabaree in Oulu, which is organized by my dear friend Lala L'More! It's been a couple of year's since I've last performed in Oulu (or visited altogether), and I really loved spending a weekend full of burlesque, laughter and friendship with you all 💛

I also got to teach a couple of workshops on floorwork and 1920s makeup to some wonderful people, and while my schedule was so tight that we didn't have time to take any photos before/after the workshops I can at least share this picture of the curtain call the night before!

Déjà vu!

 Oh hello again! Long time no write... and back after two years? Kind of sounds familiar... 😅

Well, it seems that being a full time student while juggling three other jobs on top was indeed as much as I could handle, and I haven't really touched this space during my studies. The good news is, I've now graduated and I'm back in the game! Of course I'm still a busy bee (which creative soul isn't?) and it may take me some time to fully update this blog, but I'll try to start by updating the gigs section and sharing the upcoming gigs (that I am already allowed to share). Because guess what! I'm finally hitting a burlesque stage again for the very first time after Corona! Which will also be the very first time for me performing in Hämeenlinna!

Paljettipommi vol. 2 released!

Wooot, this is what the postman brought today, the second volume of Paljettipommi (the first and only burlesque magazine in Finland)! Packed in a lovely envelope by the force behind it, dear friend, burlesque performer and Paljettipommi's producer Kiki Hawaiji! 

I'm utterly honoured to have had the chance to be part of this second volume, together with burlesque legends Satan's Angel and Kitten de Ville, and many of Finland's best <3

Paljettipommi is born!

On the 23.8 I had the great pleasure of being part of a historic event, since Paljettipommi was born! <3

Our dear Kiki Hawaiji, who is one of the people who brought burlesque to Finland, put tons of time and effort into creating the very first Finnish burlesque magazine (Paljettipommi = Sequinbomb), and a bunch of us who have been performing longest got together to celebrate it at the release party. It was so much fun! We were mostly asked to perform our very first acts, which in my case is my absynth fairy (of course with an upgraded costume, the old one was falling into pieces!), and some acts were seen that haven't been performed in years.

The magazine is written in Finnish, and it's full of articles featuring both Finnish and international performers, such as the original King of Boylesque Tigger! Even yours trully got a few lines ;-)

Looking forward to the next release!

Helsinki Burlesque Festival 2014 starting!

For some lucky ones it already started yesterday with Perle Noir's workshop, but since I was working I'm taking that workshop today! Also dropping a line in order to let you all know I probably won't be writing much until the festival is over, but stay tuned for a report of it all next week!

And thus the fun begins... <3
