Thread: You know your a burlesque dancer when...

You have a conversation outside of your Burlesque circle or fora and people look at you like you have twenty heads. You then realize you have been chatting about burlsque and referring to everyne by there stage names and now everyone thinks your wierd.

You have two signatures and no longer answer the phone by stating it's (insert vanilla name here) speaking, just in case it's a booking and you confuse the caller by saying the wrong name.

You spend 99% of your time on the MOB.

awesome thread! totally OT but on my travel blog i mentioned i had bought some pasties; my friend from uni actually emailed to say she didn't know America had Greggs!!

You constantly find eyelashes in your purse
Your boyfriend trips over your name when mixing burly friends and non burly friends
You don't realise they mean you when someone says your real name
Money saving is counted in numbers of shoes - creative accounting becomes a way of life.

-Some mornings you wake up and sqeal at the giant spider on your pillow but then you realize it's just one of your false eyelashes that you forgot to take off the night before.

I'm loving this thread!

I'm constantly finding false eyelashes in empty cigarette cases. Classy.

Totally. I once arrived at a gig with my pasties, tit-tap and scissors all beautifully presented in one of those oversized duty-free cigarette boxes.

Speak for yourself - I don't get why people would enjoy wearing them! Yes they're necessary to get round public decency laws, yes they can be pretty, but they're a proper pain!

Naturally. My local novelty shop gives me a discount for buying it by the case. No joke.
