Like Belinda Carlisle, my lips are sealed.

You realise that every time you're introduced to some one you wonder why their stage name is so normal.
You have more stage make up then the natural look stuff
When you see topless models in the media you mentally pop on nipple tassels - and can't get why anyone wouldn't wear them

-Your pet has glitter in its fur, that stuff gets everywhere!
-You can do a FULL face of make up, eyelashes included, in less than 20 minutes
-Drag queens ask you for make up tips
-You have an indepth knowledge on which concealers/foundation/body make up to use on scars and bruises

-When your friends are talking about their new pasties you know they didn't buy them from Greggs.

... when B&Q call it carpet-to-floor tape, but you know it's really tit tape!

... when Copydex call it carpet glue, but you know it's really eyelash glue!

you have feathers whizzing round your dyson....
More sparkly shoes than normal ones
you refer to burlesque as your chocolate life and your day job as vanilla.
your partner is forced on more than one occasion to model a feathered head dress just so you 'see how it would look on stage'.

With the exception of Warren of course!

you think your eyes look slighty weird without fake eyelashes...

you can draw eyeliner on your top lid in seconds....
you see a nice top/shoes/anything and think ooooh witha few more rhinestones.....

you see underwear as perfectly acceptable items of outerwear...

- You spend more money on stockings then you do on groceries.

- You're day dreaming only consists of different routines and what a great idea for your next show would be.

- Everyday you hear a song and say "Oh! I could do such a neat Burlesque act to that!"

- Your nipple tassels have become an extension of your soul, and you cook breakfast in them or clean the house while listening to music and every now and then you can make them spin effortlessly to the beat...(i know im not the only one who does this!)

- You think bloomers are sexy.

- You have two wardrobes!... one for everyday clothes, the other for props and costumes... and it takes up half your bedroom!

- You're perfume is called "Burlesque".
