I had a lovely time being a vintage showgirl for Golden Poppy Events, and managed to grab some time with photographer Gareth Miller to take these lovely snaps!

I was commisioned to design a costume using the 'Water for Elephants' film as inspiration.

After some fabric and bead samples, we came up with the below.

I love the draping straps, which actually also hide some really firm straps to keep this backless bodysuit close and secure.

It has a modesty sash, to ensure freedom of movement without being self conscious, and of course lots of pearls beads - I wanted to keep them hemming close to the era to give it a 1920's feel.
There are also a few AB crystals, which can't be seen to easily at a glance, but will catch the light nicely as the client moves around.


This was a really lovely little project to do.

After meeting Nick years ago we had mentioned doing a shoot many times ....... and it happened... here are the results.

Nick is working on a digital project, in which these photos will look nothing like they do here!

In the meantime I have some gorgeous costume shots of my updated Serpentine Seductress burlesque and fire act.

We also had a little fun on the roof top just because we could!

So the last 6months have been spent updating my acts, adding a hell of a lot of gems to things and finally shooting a few costumes with Grace Elkin.

These yummy pastel shots were done by Grace, she has done many amazing burlesque shots over the past few years, many of them for myself!

Above Talulah's act 'The Diamond Girl' a classic strip tease.

Below 'Down in Mexico' a fabulous bump and Grind act - you can choose the classic version or the halloween version, and even a fire finish!

Bra and knickers set I did for myself - a lot of performers have it announced on stage how many gems are on their costume.

I don't count, all I can say is there is A LOT on my diamond girl costume!

I literally gem until I can't see properly, and then I have to stop.

The second routine I ever created 'Down in Mexico'. I still use the same underwear, and added this corset further down the line.

This was my first commission after coming back from costuming in Dubai.

The Girl In The Glass - asked for 1920's style set, with moon and star theme on a black base.
This is what I came up with.

So in my refined technical language I basically get a base to work on - sew some shit on and then glue some shit on.

Due to my obsessive nature when costuming I go into a fair bit of detail, and some really nice pieces have come out of that.

Most things are one off designs, working with performers they need to be - so no copying!

Shoes to match the bra and knickers

I updated my white fan dance costume last year, and this is the results. Below is a video of it all in action.

My next costume blog will be on my custom orders for Cirque le Soir London

What a year! 

A whopping 120 shows! in 3 continents - Europe, Asia and the Arab Emerates. 
5 countries, which include Hong Kong, Dubai, Bahrain, Brussels and the UK. 
4 new acts, 1 abandoned act (fortune telling gypsy)
2 new performance skills, hula hoop and fire!
2 residencies in Dubai and the UK. 
3 theatres. You can't beat performing in a theatre, it's absolutely lovely. 
3 videos, all with Kaya George, 2 in the snow and 1 up a mountain in Greece!

Not to mention all the feather fans I have made, and costume and headdress commissions.

Thank you to everyone who has been involved. From stage kittens, to friends doing endless favours for me, to promoters flying me out to places such as Bahrain! I am very grateful for all of it, and wish everyone the best of luck in the new year

Comparing myself to my Great Grandmother!

Gorgeous 1920's themed hair dressers opened up in st.martins sq, Leicester - can't get over the interior it's stunning. I got the chance to wear the pearl 1920's cap I made and heavily beaded dress.
