A'dora Derriere is away next week in Belgium so I am taking the classes and have just choreographed a cute little cabaret chair dance to this version of Puttin’ On The Ritz.

Peekaboo Pointe - Tassel Twirling

Trixi Tassels - Friday, July 08, 2011

I had the pleasure meeting Peekaboo Pointe in Perth when she was on tour with the Australian Burlesque Festival last year. Here is a video showing off her tassel twirling skills. I love the massive backbend she does - I need to work on my flexibility in that area!

Here is a great compilation clip of strippers from the 40s, 50s ad 60s. It has given me some great inspiration for costuming and moves.

Here is a fabulous write-up of Dr Sketchy London. The session the writer came to was one where I was modelling so it mentions me too. Joy!

The Newest Hero on My List

Clara Cupcakes - Monday, June 20, 2011

This guy. This guy is AMAZING! His name is Captain Kidd aka Mark Winmill. He recently won the title of Mr Exotic World at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend in Las Vegas. Oh and did I mentioned he is Australian? I pretty much want to have his hula hooping babies or failing that, do an act with him at some point in my career. SUCH and amazing boylesque performer. I hope to one day be this awesome!

Here's the clip of him performing from the BHOF weekend. LOVE!

I hope that brightened your day a little! It always works for me!

Miss Burlesque Australia 2011 - or - We Are The Champions

Clara Cupcakes - Sunday, June 19, 2011

Hello Lovelies! It was the WA heats for Miss Burlesque Australia last Saturday. Its was a damn fun evening full on fun, frivolity and friends with burly-q girls from all over Perth competing for the title. I was a judge (which was ridiculously hard may I say) along with some other lovely Perth burlesque peeps. For me it was a personal treat because I so rarely get to just be a punter and go see burlesque. I'm always performing myself. So I had a jolly old time watching some gorgeous and talented ladies shimmy and shake across the stage.

After a damn tough competition (which sadly included no ninja fighting as I had hoped) a winner was of course announced. I am completely tickled pink to tell you that the new Miss Burlesque WA is none other than our very own Kitty Litteur!

I possibly did a fist pump when I found out. Her performances were clever, smart and funny! I pretty much love her.

Miss Burlesque Perth was taken out by Sugar Blue's Odile Devine and even better, she was picked as wild card so she'll be going over to the final in Sydney as well to represent WA and Sugar Blue! YAY! Should you be in Sydney next weekend, you can buy tickets from here.

Special mention to Agatha Frisky who took out third place.

Well done ladies! You were fabulous! *air kisses*

See you soon my darklinks!

Here is a great interview that I hadn't come across before with Satan's Angel.

And I found a video on Vimeo taken at a tassel twirling workshop by Satan's Angel. Man she sure is good with those tassels!

The Cupcakes in Marie Claire

Clara Cupcakes - Tuesday, June 14, 2011

Hello Poppets!

Another little thing that kept me busy while I have been away was this!

HEY! It's me! I was in the June issue of Marie Claire! I shared the pages with some of my other Miss Burlesque Australia contestants. I had a total blast. See those shoes I'm wearing? $2000! YES! AMAZING! Oh the things one can do with the Marie Claire styling wardrobe! Hilariously, this is also the second last shot. It took a really long time to get it right. I have a new found respect for models.

The photo was shot by the incredible Alexia Sinclair. My eyes nearing bugged out of my head when I realised she was shooting me. Her work is out of the world. Do go have a peek.

See you next time sweets!

Clara
