Smile New to MOB

Hi! my name is Sparkles and i'm new to MOB, but not the concept of burlesque. i've been in love with the whole concept and (perhaps most of all) th glamour of it all since i was a teenager. Generally the only person virtually obsessed with stockings and red lippy in my class / age group!

I'm in the Navy and sometimes my 'civvie' dress sense doesn't quite match up to the mans world i live in, but who cares?! not me, unfortuntely i have to go back to my ship in a few days and proberbly won't get to visit MOB through MOD (how many acroymns??!) computers so hopefully i'll make some friends with like minded people before i'm whisked off to my engine room in a week!

But when i do get back i wouldn't mind a point in the right direction for some fun nights out or exhibitions/ places of interest to visit, take in a few shows etc.. haven't quite got round to performing any of my own rountines yet though - think my captain would have a heart attack!!!! WOOO HOOOO

So if anyone has anything to talk about or has advice for a novice or is just a bit bored, please do drop me a line!

Sparkles xx MWAH xx

Hi hon. Welcome to the Forum. Whereabouts are you based? If it's Pompy then there's a few nights going on around the area in the next couple of months x

Sparkles, darling, I'm guessing that you are female, although it doesn't really matter, burlesque is truly a broad church:
Come all, come everybody. The only reason that I enquire of your gender, is because I want to crack that old hacknyed gag: "Hello Sailor!"
You really are most welcome to the forum. We just love all the newcomers that have been swelling our ranks.
Haven't had a chance yet to take a sneeky peek at your profile, do hope that we can see a pic of you in uniform. And Sparkles, feel free to post as often as you want, it will be fascinating to see the views of a member of our armed forces.
Welcome again, and kisses to you darling. xxx

Hi Sparkles!

I very nearly, entirely accidentally, said "It's great to have you on board". So relieved I spotted that before I unwittingly made the worst pun ever!

Welcome to MoB Everyone is really friendly. You'll love it here

Hello Sparkles! I have it in my head that there are a few burlesquers from the Boro - there's one performer called Miss Frankii Wilde and I have a feeling there's the House of the Golden Lotus there (and I'm sure Warren, Beatrix von Bourbon or Amelie Soleil will be along soon to tell you more about it unless you google it first). But Teesside isn't a bad place to be

Ooh and there's Black Jack Rabbit's too which I think another performer called Meg la Mania is involved in (please shoot me if I get this wrong) - but I'm sure you can check them out on myspace.

Interesting you saying you're from Cleveland and not Teesside though - I still call it Cleveland, can't get out of the habit either

Cool Let me know the date you're due home and I can hopefully let you know about any Pompy nights. Very jealous about the Antartica - HMS Endurance?
