Default What are you doing as well as burlesque?

Recently we have seen Warren and his puppy, (a badger is for life, Warren.......)
Midnight Blue and her sewing machine. Is it out of the box yet Miss Blue?
Lord & Lady Dashwood and their Argentine Tango lessons.
And there have been others too who have posted various, "what I'm up to," at present, but the witch has a head like a sieve, so sorry for leaving you out.
Oh dear, how could I forget? Kittie & James, who have been moving.
Did the earth move for you darlings?
Now, what the witch, the forum and the lurkers want to know, is:
Outside of burlesque, what's been going on in your life?
It might be evening classes,
It might be a new arrival Angel Delight, we are all waiting!
It might even be a new love in your life.
And what sort of influence has this new love brought to your love of burlesque?

For me, it's been Flamenco classes. Since the middle of May I/we have been working on a Paso Doble/Flamenco routine. All smouldering, sensual, erotic dancing. I love it.
Do you think it's sexy enough to bring to:
Movers & Shakers?
Now don't get shy and bashful, what is it that you are doing?

I'm building up a wardrobe of vintage clothes very slowly. It's getting there.

I'm also playing a very bad housewife during my summer before I go back to uni next month.

Well I don't "do" burlesque personally but I have been

* doing a bit of modelling (do we call 9 shoot in 4 weeks a bit?)
* adding to my wardrobe - mainly corsets & vintage lingerie/clothing
* getting my kitty back on the mend after a thyroidectomy operation - but he's loads better now
* struggling with my work laptop because the keyboard is playing up - going to buy myself a new one next month though if I can wait that long.
* celebrating our first wedding anniversary (yesterday)

I also aim to get my backside to a few shows in the coming weeks

Oh - doing a bit of modelling (for fun more then anything serious), getting ready to try sewing again (Midnight Blue inspired that one) and (hopefully) moving in with my boyfriend soon

Ooh I inspired someone to get back into sewing? Yay!

The machine is indeed out of the box, it was out for a whole 2 hours. I managed to do the top threading all by myself, and the bottom with help from Rob (its my old lady hands I tell thee). And in those two hours I grabbed some scraps of fabric and made the worlds most demented yet cute little bag for my two year old. I've taken a pic which I'll upload but this thing wasn't made for looking at up close lol, it horrendous really, but no pattern and used almost every stitch on the machine including overlocking just for the sake of it! She loves it anyway so job's a good'un

Aside from that, I'm in full-time mummy mode, no time for anything else, mid summer holidays, I've had a cold, little man's been poorly and little lady's been mad as ever. Last weekend of nothingness for a while though so I'm making the most of it.

Hell, it's the Edinburgh Fringe - when we're not on stage, we're in a bar or sleeping!

Getting overly excited by the Olympics....being inspired to start running again.....venturing outside....realising it's cold and running is hard work.....resigning self to start 'tomorrow' over a mug of hot tea and couple of mcvities ginger nuts - wouldn't want to peak too early, 2012 is a whole 4 years away and if I actually trained I wouldn't be able to get Steve Cram's sympathy about what could have been if I'd only been properly prepared....(meoww)
