For me quite simply discovering the Burly scene , love every minute of it. I have met some lovely people over the year and although I havn't been able to get to as many events as I would have liked to, none the less still enjoyed immensly those I have.

2007 has been a bit of a whirlwind for me. February saw burlesque come to Reading and was my first burlesque show that wasn't Dita Von Teese . March was when I took my first steps to becoming a pin up and, eventually, a burlesque performer. I started helping out at nights in Reading which was good experience for me. Moving to Birmingham in August was a big step too as it also resulted in my first trip to Candybox where I saw some amazing stars.

I suppose out of all this my favourite moment has to be the most recent. I managed to wrangle an invite into Ditas unveiling of her new routine for Cointreau. The party was fab and although she is using another glass routine, Dita is back on top form. Those who saw her at Erotica did not see her at her peak. Her costume was amazing and she looked extremely happy to be performing . What a sweetheart, what a night!

Meeting and watching Dirty Martini , Kitten on the Keys , and Immodesty Blaize - all in one show!

Sounds devine, I've started drinking cointreau now,
Not just because of the endorcement of course but it helps, meh anything on the top shelf. Cheers everybody !

2007 was fab for me too.

My pin-up modeling took off really well.
Was featured on the poster for Expo 2007.
was a spokesmodel for Fabulous-fascinators and hourglass
being asked to model at Festival of Sins for Lacing Lilith.
attending my first Afternoon Tease at Volupte (and loads since)
meeting Roze Thorn
meeting Dita .
have a hat made that was inspired by me!
falling in love with Steve

Oh my God so many things
Meeting so many lovely people to many to say you know who you are.
Starting to perform again after being so ill.
Figuring out new acts that are unique to me and inventing feather finger fans.
Performing at some great events such as Girl can't help it, Hip Hip, Time for Tease, Afternoon Tease, Slippery bell, Dadalesque and the Erotic awards.
I think just having adventures and having fun. I love what I do and I am glad that I decided to go for it this year and see what happens.
Love

my highlight of 2007 was actually getting to a burlesque event. i hope to attend many more in 2008 oh and also getting to chat with the friendly people on this site.

March 2007 - Glowstick: A Rock Opera. It was a very nostalgic ordeal. I felt like I was in a high school play, if only high school plays allowed you to take shots of Old Crow whiskey before a show.

June and July 2007 - Candyland: Presented by Eye Candy Burlesque . We sold out every show, and on the last one, the police had to come to direct traffic. Standing room only!!

Septemeber 2007 - Assorted Jellies and Jams: An Adult Portion. The largest production I've ever been a part of, it was quite a success.

October 2007 - Eye Candy Burlesque One Year Anniversary. We're still going strong.

And of course, finding the Mob. I can't seem to quit you!

Am I sucking up if I say joining MoB? I discovered it in July when my mum and stepdad went on holiday for 2 weeks so I actually got to use the computer! (I'm forbidden from it)

I also enjoyed the burly photo co-op. It was my first real photo shoot and I had a lot of fun
