Halloween 2016

Talulah Blue Halloween Burlesque by Neil Kendall
So, I have been busy trying to get ready for Halloween ~ it's a time of year I have neglected in the past.

Being mainly one weekend it never made sense to spend so much time on an act ~ until I started working on TOXIC, the costume has taken longer than I could ever have imagined.

With a combination of Neil Kendalls creativity in the shoot set up, it's worked out to be a really striking image.

My signature act 'Down in Mexio' can of course work with a day of the dead theme & even add fire into it.

I still have my little hula hooping leopard, the idea coming from a stunning vintage image I really wanted to re-create.

​After years of performing I couldn't bring myself to go with something stereotypical for a new Halloween act, so I dove off in the opposite direct and went with pastels! 

​The past few years I have experimented more with makeup, and I think found some looks that suit me.

With the combination of concepts, burlesque and circus skills there is plenty of content for some entertaining acts.

Taking to the streets of Hong Kong

After doing a run of burlesque shows in the Sky bar at the top of the Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, myself and Richard from Destination China met up with the lovely Bex and Nic Gaunt to do a shoot in the streets of Hong Kong, using a graffiti covered ally near the studio, some death defying steps, and then heading down to the market. 

Here are the results!

1920's costume

5/15/2015

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!

There are an abundance of ideas I could turn into performances this halloween! Below are some of the acts I have, starting with: 

1: 'Toxic' the etherial, dark, showgirl, dancing with huge Grade A white feather fans.
2: Half pin up, Half skeleton, choose 2/3 of Talulah's skills, fire, hula hoop, wax pouring or silk fan dancing.
3: 'Tricks and Tease' - the hula hooping leopard.
4: 'Down in Mexico' - With a deadly begging, breaking into classic energetic bump and grind.

Gem until you go blind

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.
Picture
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!
