SHOTS FROM SHOWS

A lot of you have asked for it, and since I'm mostly needels and pins (and leisure wear) for the moment I'll give you some show picures, on and off stage!

I got these via Ilona who saw a small show :) I had the worst flue ever during it, high fever and felt like shit but you can't really tell now afterwards.

Backstage pictures by Risto Kantola.

Tonight it's time for the third Club Wanted, and once again we have a brand new totally hilarious number (thus the needles and pins mentioned there above, we've all been sewing and fixing all week...). Unlike normally we will perform at 22:00 hrs already so make sure to be on time!

You can see more pictures at our myspace, at the Helsinki Burlesque Flickr page, or if you join us on facebook. We have shows weekly so there will be lots of new pictures soon! There are few pictures from Club Wanted though, since the stage is too small and the place too dark and crowded in order to get any good shots...

KICK OFF, KIND OF

I'm starting to get this feeling that some of you, and sometimes me too, might go all nauseous if I mention the word "spring" or "floral" during this month one more time (not to mention pastels, right?). But you see, living in a city 841,4 kilometers from the arctic circle means it's dark and shitty here a big part of the year, especially now with the global warming and it's warmer winters with little snow to light it up, just sogginess and rain. So now that we're were half-way trough March the countdown for spring has definitely begun for my part and I took a little false start to summer by wearing the the old romper I found at our summer house last year. Of course, I had to wear it with an extra knit and my knee-long jacket outside, so I couldn't really celebrate spring kick off yet. But I guess I'm at least one step closer!


I noticed two things with rompers/jumpsuits;
One- I'd never wear a dress this short. But it feels totally different when the little garment has legs. Strange huh?
Two - the jumpsuit is really not the most practical piece of clothing. You have to get all undressed when you want to pee :/

(You know what? It's snowing now goddammit. Weather - me 1-0. As usual).

Judith, vovó mais tatuada do país

Dizem que a vida começa aos quarenta, para Judith não é bem assim. Sentar em uma cadeira para coser ou assistir a novelas não é sua vocação, Judith de 77 anos prefere aproveitar a ainda mais a vida.

Segundo Judith, passeios na garupa da moto de seu filho, shows, motoclubes, barzinhos e boates fazem parte de seu calendário. Mas não podemos esquecer dos estúdios de tatuagem. Isso mesmo, Judith tem nada menos que 43 tatuagens de estrelas, flores e borboletas, recebendo assim, o título de senhora de terceira idade mais tatuada do Brasil. Atualmente o título de senhora mais tatuada do mundo é da inglesa Isobel Varley.

Judith participou de programas de TV, recebeu troféus, títulos e participa da montagem do livro “Livro dos Sonhos”, onde escreve sobre a tatuagem na mulher. Além de sua participação na Parada Gay paulista, programa Show do Tom, canais Direct Tv, revista Isto É e Folha de São Paulo.

PASTELS

What's wrong with me? While considering myself to be the girl who generally goes for black I now find myself craving (as you may have noticed) for sheer pastel colours and floral prints. Blame it on the upcoming spring, blame it on me being influenced by lovely blogs over the years. Oh well, pretty it is either way.

Some spring-y items from two of my all-time favourite brands; a babyblue floral dream from Vivian of Holloway and another lovley summery dress from Trashy Diva. And why not throw in some peachy Parikkas, silky lingerie and fluffy accessories while I'm at it?

From left to right:
Fifites Halterneck Rose Garde Blue Dress from Vivien of Holloway,
Pirouette tulle necklace (that I'd wear in my hair...) Etsy / DeliciousSoul,
Peach Harlow Lingerie Set from What Katie Did via PandorasChoice,
Circle Skirt Day Dress from Trashy Diva and
the Raquel Shoe in powder pink by Minna Parikka.

I'm also drooling over this pair of denim dungarees, from Tara Starlet (also included in my all-time favourites); to be worn with my toffee coloured pumps an my hair rolled up with a scarf around it. They also come in full-lenght and I can't decide which one'd be better, jumpsuit or trouser version?



But but, for the moment none of these items are neither in nor out of my budget since I don't have one; I am not getting anything new! But,I do have a couple of floral fabrics in my closet waiting to be sewn into something, and I have an amazing rosy dress still unworn until it's premier in slightly warmer times!

Oh, and not to forget; if you order a springtime dress from Vivien of Holloway now yo get a matching bolero included! Worth checking out...

A banda inglesa Iron Maiden está no Brasil para apresentações em seis cidades brasileiras. Manaus (Sambódromo) é a primeira capital a receber a banda na maior turnê já realizada pelo Brasil. A banda encerra a sua turnê em Brasília, no dia 20 de março.

Não é primeira vez que a banda aparece no blog, em outra ocasião, apresentamos as tatuagens dos integrantes da banda, junto a Ozzy Osborne e Metallica. Para a alegria dos milhares de fans da banda Iron Maiden, publicamos algumas imagens de Eddie the Head, mascote da banda presente na maioria dos álbuns, tatuado na pele de fanáticos pelo sexteto.
