&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the season has started now for the summer festivals and weekend events....im very excited im trading at my very first roller derby event this weekend....im very interested to see how well our stuff is received by the roller derby community? ive naturally been doing my research and im frankly bloody amazed by how many teams there are across the nation and how ive never been involved with them before! i think its important to keep the business moving with the waves so to speak...last year it was alot about the hot rod scene, the classic car scene and the vintage arena...this year im hoping to continue growing and expand into new areas...our stuff is so broad...im mean, yes, its burlesque by name but i think the products appeal to so many genres and are very flexible allowing me to trade at many different events, obviously with varying degrees of success but its still about getting the name out there at the end of the day! so thank you central city roller girls for taking me to your bosum!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;well, this week is certainly a week for firsts as ive also got my very first burelsque performance at volupte lounge....thats london baby!!! im scared, yes, but im not concerned about the performance side as i think its bloody hilarious!! are the burlesque beauties ready for the rubber face of mama-sutra...god only knows! we'll see!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and finally things are starting to come together for the burlesque night too...just under 3 weeks to go and only a minimal amount of tickets left, im really please how its been received and just cant wait to get going with it properly...next on the list, table and room decorations!! ooo, its the little things!!! so dont forget if you are hoping to come rush to &lt;a href="http://www.aboxofburlesque.com/"&gt;http://www.aboxofburlesque.com/&lt;/a&gt; for tickets...now! go, hurry, gawn!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8796886056525118837-2062547012973589579?l=aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/feeds/2062547012973589579/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2011/05/life-is-cabaret.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796886056525118837/posts/default/2062547012973589579'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796886056525118837/posts/default/2062547012973589579'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2011/05/life-is-cabaret.html' title='life is a cabaret!!'/><author><name>burlesque momma</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06372833593567131897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vy2iVB_Kgw0/S_w2pig_xHI/AAAAAAAAAAk/PtUm_RORl-k/S220/burlesque-logo.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T0mJdGA8pqs/TdrC5d-2_kI/AAAAAAAAAHo/LAMV7T3Md-s/s72-c/imagesCAPT2W1Y.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796886056525118837.post-8120710194644288267</id><published>2011-04-29T02:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-29T02:07:28.832-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A box of Burlesque: Happy Royal Wedding Day!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2011/04/happy-royal-wedding-day.html?spref=bl"&gt;A box of Burlesque: Happy Royal Wedding Day!!!&lt;/a&gt;: "Yes!

up loaded last night to &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aboxofburlesque.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.aboxofburlesque.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; is a new catagory called "Create your own corset" where you can pick the fabric, length, size, fastening and boning for yourself...instead of having to pick from already create corsets! so often at my Corset Parties ive heard people saying "oh, if only that was longer" or "i love the design but id want it in purple instead"....well now you can get exactly what you want!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;we have created pages on &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aboxofburlesque.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.aboxofburlesque.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; for each fabric type...a choice of brocade, deco, polka dots, satin, floral and many more in a variety of colours...you pick the fabric and then get to decide if you want a longline, shortline, or underbust and if you want steel boned or the more flexible spiral boned....finally you get to decide if you want it zip fastening or busk fastening!! i just loved the idea when i realised i could offer it and i dont know of any other place you can do this!! hope my customers like it too!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;also, things are really zipping along for "Mama-Sutra presents A box of burlesque" a night of comedy burlesque in birmnigham, broad street!! the tickets are £10 and for that we have fire performers, 3 top burlesque performers, 2 hula hoop performers, a singer, a magician, pole dancer and my debut burlesque performance too!!! its going to be a fantastic night as i wanted to offer so much that there isnt a lull in the evening...i wanted to bring back that concept of the cabaret night, the working mens/social club night where the family went and saw cabaret performers...it doesnt seem to exist outside the holiday camps now and its a shame as, coming from that background before becoming a burlesque mama i can tell you there is some fabulously talented people out there!! lets give them more of a forum than britains got talent!!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8796886056525118837-3645143529634103958?l=aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/feeds/3645143529634103958/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2011/04/happy-royal-wedding-day.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796886056525118837/posts/default/3645143529634103958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796886056525118837/posts/default/3645143529634103958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2011/04/happy-royal-wedding-day.html' title='Happy Royal Wedding Day!!!'/><author><name>burlesque momma</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06372833593567131897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vy2iVB_Kgw0/S_w2pig_xHI/AAAAAAAAAAk/PtUm_RORl-k/S220/burlesque-logo.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2L_-IMgA_vs/Tbp_ZIAuiRI/AAAAAAAAAHg/VjKjTEK2RUw/s72-c/aboxofburlesque_posterA3_proof.jpg%2B2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796886056525118837.post-9175950854781817037</id><published>2011-04-06T12:43:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-07T07:34:05.752-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birmingham'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='a box of burlesque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='corset parties'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='corsets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='burlesque night'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='burlesque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pin up'/><title type='text'>and theres more....!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y2x6DQUwpVA/TZ3LRRPvqsI/AAAAAAAAAHY/qHgWgJQUvIc/s1600/aboxofburlesque_posterA3_proof.jpg%2B2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 141px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592849809811679938" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y2x6DQUwpVA/TZ3LRRPvqsI/AAAAAAAAAHY/qHgWgJQUvIc/s200/aboxofburlesque_posterA3_proof.jpg%2B2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;well, wow what a busy weekend we have had here at &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aboxofburlesque.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.aboxofburlesque.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; !!

NOVEMBER!! that's utterly unacceptable behaviour for a burlesque mama of my standing!! erm...sorry miss, my dog ate my blog!! no, no excuse will cut it I'll just have to go and stand in the corner and think about what I've done!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;in truth...what I've done is an awful lot!! we've had a lot of changes over the last few months...the biggest being that we now have focused all our time and energy to &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aboxofburlesque.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.aboxofburlesque.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; and have closed the two other sister sites that were attached to it. Burlesque is the way forward! it was so difficult maintaining all three sites and "A Box of Burlesque" was so popular that it seemed the major website! so, we now have a brand spanking new site, new pics, new products and are growing in followers every day!! A box of burlesque is like Frankensteins monster! corset clad she lumbers forward on her bordello shoes sweeping maidens into her arms and plonking a feather fascinator on their pretty little heads!! from the heart though i am extremely grateful and slightly humbled by the lovely comments I've had from customers and browsers alike...all i ever wanted was to give ladies (and by default their partners!) some happiness and confidence in how they look...speaking from experience, as i became a mother i became a "plus size" and knocked in confidence and self esteem I've slowly clawed it back with the help of some beautiful clothing and a compliment or two! so thank you for being so supportive and i hope I've put a smile on your faces!! (feel like i should be holding a shiny statue or summat!)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;anyhow...away from the mushy stuff we've also been making a lot of the products ourselves now..we've introduced our Personalised Necklaces and they've gone down really well and now I've started to make fascinators and bustles myself too...my bustles are something you'd see down the aisle of a big fat gypsy wedding..I'm in love with every one i make and as I'm just about to launch them on &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aboxofburlesque.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.aboxofburlesque.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; i will fight anyone who tries to purchase them!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;the biggest success though of the last few months has to be "A Box of Burlesque Corset Parties"...where i take most of the products to customers houses and they get legless and lace in!!! they are so much fun and though i have personally travel the length and breath of the British isles in the last month alone I'm loving get to meet fabulous people...some who are corset aficionados and some burlesque virgins! i must admit turning the virgins is a personal favourite of mine...seeing a woman fall in love with the feeling of what a corset does for you is fantastic..and mainly they end up standing in their corset for a good fifteen minutes simply stroking their waists!! so, we have a laugh, play a game and get dressed up...and so well have they been going that I've also added in a burlesque performer too now!! (NO, not me although i keep dreaming up great routines!) anyone wanting a party email &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:sales@aboxofburlesque.com"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;sales@aboxofburlesque.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;

(though i won't admit that he's probably right about not developing it into a nest full of lovebirds...that may be a bit much!!!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;though the trade events are mainly over now for the year we are gearing up with our "A box of Burlesque Corset Evenings"....a night of corsets, lingerie, hair accessories and general burly-ness! its had a great response and we are getting very busy...just when i thought i could rest after a summer of touring round, im taking to the car again to bring corsets to the masses!!! so, if you do want to book, don't be put off by the geography...have corsets, will travel!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;and, don't forget that christmas is looming, 71 days to go in actual fact! so, if you are looking for outfits for the office party, got a moulin rouge new years eve do...or even on the hunt for affordable stockings fillers...you will probably find everything you need at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aboxofburlesque.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;www.aboxofburlesque.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt; ...get yourself a dress, your daughter a hair flower and the mother-in-law a corset...all done!!! x&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8796886056525118837-4821283724284229978?l=aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/feeds/4821283724284229978/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2010/10/sooo-sorrryyy.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796886056525118837/posts/default/4821283724284229978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796886056525118837/posts/default/4821283724284229978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2010/10/sooo-sorrryyy.html' title='SOOO SORRRYYY!!!'/><author><name>burlesque momma</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06372833593567131897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vy2iVB_Kgw0/S_w2pig_xHI/AAAAAAAAAAk/PtUm_RORl-k/S220/burlesque-logo.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Vy2iVB_Kgw0/TLdm_tMlTjI/AAAAAAAAACs/5cSLTNq6FUw/s72-c/skull+and+roses+dress.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796886056525118837.post-7969418089389299349</id><published>2010-07-30T10:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-30T10:28:01.533-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Launch day...!!!!</title><content type='html'>ITS HERE!!!

We were extremely pleased to be approached by Vogue to have an advertorial (thats an advert with words for us not quite as posh as vogue!) in there august vintage pages! but note..they approached us, not the other way round, "a box of vintage" is too proud to beg!! a box of burlesque though will take what she can get!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I've also had a meeting with "Pin-up for Heroes", &lt;a href="http://www.pinupforheroes.co.uk/"&gt;www.pinupforheroes.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; a calender to raise money for "Help for Heroes" who are kindly using our outfits for the calender this year! they are using real everyday women, who have a connection to the forces, women of real sizes and shapes which is great...so there we were sitting in a little huddle, floor strewn with clothes and accessories asking "well, will she wear polka-dot bra and undies??" most of the women are game and looking forward to doing there bit!! it will be a fantastic experience for all involved im sure so keep your eyes open for when it goes on sale!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lastly, our good news is our new dresses going upto a 24 are going to the manufacturers on monday... www.callmebetty.co.uk has been working with me and has come up with a fantastic plus size design so i cant wait to show you all!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And most definately finally, we are just days away from going live with the shop so stay glued!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;well, this weekend we are trading at "shakedown", a rockabilly event and they've forecast rain...so hopefully people will crowd the stall just to keep out of it and end up spending a fortune!!! theres wishful thinking!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8796886056525118837-1907137125383701057?l=aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/feeds/1907137125383701057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2010/07/it-has-been-very-busy-week-here-at.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796886056525118837/posts/default/1907137125383701057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796886056525118837/posts/default/1907137125383701057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2010/07/it-has-been-very-busy-week-here-at.html' title=''/><author><name>burlesque momma</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06372833593567131897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vy2iVB_Kgw0/S_w2pig_xHI/AAAAAAAAAAk/PtUm_RORl-k/S220/burlesque-logo.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vy2iVB_Kgw0/TEYMkq4QC_I/AAAAAAAAAB8/btzYsRdkt8Q/s72-c/vogue!.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796886056525118837.post-6133499847686841368</id><published>2010-06-28T13:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-28T13:51:49.371-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Busy Burlesque Bee!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vy2iVB_Kgw0/TCkGCinK6LI/AAAAAAAAAB0/Cz8txm7VjUA/s1600/DSC00191+-+Copy.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487924261648263346" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vy2iVB_Kgw0/TCkGCinK6LI/AAAAAAAAAB0/Cz8txm7VjUA/s320/DSC00191+-+Copy.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Boy, have we been very busy little burlesque bees??! My ruffle panted behind hasnt stopped as we have been trading every weekend now for the last month! its difficult to know which part of the country we're in half the time...one minute im dubbing in dorset, the next im hotrodding in hampshire!! my vintage empire travels far to reach the burlesque babes of britain!! we've made a real effort with our trade stand (pictured left) and every event i get pin-upped and corsetted to show off my wares (and in some cases they are greatly admire by the men folk!). It is so wonderful to see the reaction though as there isnt another stand like it...its mostly tshirts and exhaust pipes, not much for the ladies so my gear is a welcome relief and the honeys come flocking!! there does seem to be an invisble line right outside the tent though that stops the geezers from entering...mine is normally the pitch that has a line of guys outfront all redfaced and shuffling feet...one was even heard to mutter "its a bit kinky in there mate" as a brave hearted gent crossed the barrier into burlesque wilderness!! then, there are the guys who brazen it out...stride forward and demand their women folk don corset and dance for them! these are the gents who are rewarded with free seam stockings for their bravery!! its nice to see the men getting involved, helping their dolls look good..after all, that way its win win for everyone!! Word has travelled fast round these events and people now seek out the "betty boop lady, the one selling the corsets!" (i dont know where the betty boop reference comes in but i take it as a compliment!) and have even had remarks comparing my corset enhanced figure to that of marilyn monroe....not a sentence i ever thought id hear or am likely to again im sure! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;on the website side of things....we are moving ahead, im now in the process of uploading products and as time consuming as this is its exciting to know its almost "time"!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;so good burly people...if you see my little caravan travelling the darkest roots of the british isles...do give me a beep, you cant miss me...im the one that looks like marilyn monroe!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8796886056525118837-6133499847686841368?l=aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/feeds/6133499847686841368/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2010/06/busy-burlesque-bee.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796886056525118837/posts/default/6133499847686841368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796886056525118837/posts/default/6133499847686841368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2010/06/busy-burlesque-bee.html' title='Busy Burlesque Bee!'/><author><name>burlesque momma</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06372833593567131897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vy2iVB_Kgw0/S_w2pig_xHI/AAAAAAAAAAk/PtUm_RORl-k/S220/burlesque-logo.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vy2iVB_Kgw0/TCkGCinK6LI/AAAAAAAAAB0/Cz8txm7VjUA/s72-c/DSC00191+-+Copy.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796886056525118837.post-5290862399676939878</id><published>2010-05-25T14:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-25T14:34:19.849-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A box of Burlesque: Awesomeness in all its glory!</title><content type='html'>www.darkslidephotography.co.uk&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8796886056525118837-5290862399676939878?l=aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2010/05/awesomeness-in-all-its-glory.html' title='A box of Burlesque: Awesomeness in all its glory!'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/feeds/5290862399676939878/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2010/05/box-of-burlesque-awesomeness-in-all-its.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796886056525118837/posts/default/5290862399676939878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796886056525118837/posts/default/5290862399676939878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aboxofburlesque.blogspot.com/2010/05/box-of-burlesque-awesomeness-in-all-its.html' title='A box of Burlesque: Awesomeness in all its glory!'/><author><name>burlesque momma</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06372833593567131897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vy2iVB_Kgw0/S_w2pig_xHI/AAAAAAAAAAk/PtUm_RORl-k/S220/burlesque-logo.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796886056525118837.post-3577884295077536239</id><published>2010-05-25T13:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-25T14:22:39.229-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='a box of burlesque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='a box of delights'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='a box of vintage'/><title type='text'>Awesomeness in all its glory!</title><content type='html'>whey! ive got some of the pictures back from the product shoot and they are most awesome dude (as two wise philosophers once said)! im so proud of my little box of burlesque slash vintage slash delights! the photographer was andy simon from www.darkslidephotography.co.uk, a talented guy who has done alot of work for my websites and hopefully will continue to do so! it wasnt an easy brief..."i want product shots but i dont want them to look like product shots, so make sure the products are in the shots but dont concentrate on the products but focus on making it a good shot...ok?"!!&lt;br /&gt;the idea was that i wanted "action" shots...i wanted the pictures to show something happening, and therefore the products (necklaces, hats, bags and erm..ruffle pants) would be shown "being used"...now, i know thats not the point of product shots but i think it brings the stuff to life, i think its more appealing if you can see the item being used or worn, if it catches your eye...i would rather see a dress on a real girl than on a doll and ive found that the fascinators and necklaces in particular are totally different items when being worn!&lt;br /&gt;so with that in mind, we trapses off to the studio of www.cherrypoppictures.com with my box of burlesque bitches in tow! i like the idea of having resident models that are used continously on the website, that people become familar with, like naughty little sisters! and introducing other models for special catagories etc...i also like the idea of using real women..no restriction on size or shape...if we were all the same we wouldnt have to get our kit off to entertain others would we??! my girls are...the flirty felicia noir (who has a nice set of jugs so ive been told!)luscious Lulu larocca, hot hanny belle, cutey collette von tora, titivating toosie sugar (and not forgetting the admirable aimee lamour who has appeared on previous shoots!) these girls represent the fun of the burlesque/vintage scene and put that across in the pictures, they are also a great bunch to be with! &lt;br /&gt;the results of the shoot speak for themselves...we had fun (andy sure did being the only man there, oh apart from the jewellery maker in the building opposite who had his filthy kitchen invaded by tootsies feather duster!) and its a pleasure to say that this is my job...ultimately, ive met a great bunch of people and if it all goes tits up tomorrow atleast i'll have that! &lt;br /&gt;other news on the horizon...we are supporting the charity www.pinupforheroes.co.uk (run by andy simon) by supplying costumes etc for the lucky girls...a very worthy cause and it'll be fun to see the results too!&lt;br /&gt;and also, we have taken on sponsorship of the amazing LEXI SEXX, a fantastic burlesque performer who i hope to bring you more news from very soon!
