    Exclamation I know this questions get's asked a lot, but how do I get started?

    I've loved the 50s for 5 years now. That doesn't sound like a lot, but since I'm only 17...

    From 50s fashion I got to 50s lingerie. And soon enough to burlesque !

    Burlesque has been a dream of mine since my 15th birthday. My mom got me a corset, because she knew how much I loved them. If only she had known what kind of a reaction it got out of me!

    Since I'm only 17 I've been trying to soak up as much info about burlesque as possible.

    Helpful hints? Places to buy corsets? The one from my 15th birthday doesn't fir anymore...and I live in Germany, so it's hard to find a lot of things...

    Which part of Germany do you live in? I'll be coming over to perform at Friedrichsbau Variete (Stuttgart) November 2009 to February 2010.

    The city I live in now has about 1 burlesque show a month, but when I started there was maybe 4 a year. I got into burlesque just by searching burlesque on youtube. The internet is great! You can by costumes on the internet too
