Well jeez, stopped by here thinking 'I haven't blogged in a while', bit of an understatement, I haven't blogged in 3 years! Cripes!
A lot has happened since my last update, the most important aspect of which was moving house, twice, in fact we moved country! We moved to Edinburgh, Scotland in 2013, then moved through to Glasgow at the start of this year. Glasgow's nice, we have a balcony, it rains a lot though.
In August 2013 and August 2014 we ran our event Silhouette Burlesque at the Tron Kirk, Edinburgh Fringe. There's a ton of pics I don't have time to post here but I will at some point. It was a fantastic experience to run our show in such a huge venue. I was pleased that we got to run it 'punk' and instead of charging for tickets or entry, we took a bucket around the crowd at the end of the show for donations instead. Pay what you can afford, Cabaret for all! It was brilliant both years.
Photography, burlesque, cabaret, dresses, dolls, general sparkly goodness and ramblings!

Silhouette Burlesque June 'Scottish Invasion'
Well hello,
Never let it be said that I'm not one to drag out birthday celebrations, this weekend saw my third (and final) set of birthday celebrations. Silhouette Burlesque 'Scottish Invasion'.
Silhouette Burlesque is a night I've been running now for over two years. It's a small intimate affair at 'The Appleby' an amazing venue run by amazing people. The night has become well attended by other burlesque performers and promoters and is seen as a great place to premier acts and meet people. As well as it being a darned good excuse for us all to have a knees up! This particular event was made even more special than usual by the bill, my fav performers from Scotland (both on and off stage!) With a couple of notable exceptions due to lack of car room and lack of them being in the UK at the moment.

This week I have been mostly... 13th June Edition
Hola,
This week I have been mostly chilling out! The biggest drawback to being self employed, the one you never think about before you try running your own business, is the lack of time off. Before you start you assume you'll be able to take time off whenever you need it, well you cant. You can take time off when you have earned the rent! Having met this criterion this month, I decided it was about time I took a little holiday, albeit one on a rather tight budget.
As luck would have it, The Evil Genius's momma has just moved to Wales and a rather nice, country side-y bit of wales at that, LlanFair. So with various relaxation aids packed including 1940's & 1950's fashion histories and a giant tapestry of a fairy I've been working on for about ten years, we embarked on the surprisingly short jaunt to wales, via a rather fine roadside greasy spoon for bacon butties (I believe I have mentioned before my penchant for a good greasy spoon!). Tuesday evening was spent mainly sat on the veranda enjoying the weather and peace, topped off with a little scenic walk to the local pub 'The Goat' and some real ale. Absolutely delightful!
Obligatory holiday snap of a boat, cause you have to, don't you!
