Dancers in glass

Wishlist #3: A giant glass to splash in…

Who knows what the attraction is to a pretty girl splashing around in a giant martini glass or champagne saucer? I’ve only seen it live once (Dita Von Teese in Senigallia, Italy), but it is every bit as enticing as it sounds.

And guess what!? Tonight I’m going to be performing with one, at a New Years Eve ball here in Perth! Hoorah!  Finally, I get to check one item off my Showgirl Wishlist! Will try to post photos or video soon!

Bebe Daniels iwth a Leopard

Wish List #2: A really big pussycat…

When Josephine Baker opened at the Casino de Paris in 1930 she was presented with a pet Leopard named Chiquita, who would appear with her onstage, and who she would walk on a diamond leash through the streets of Paris. Social commentators stated they were never sure which end of the leash held the wild animal.

A girl can dream…

Moon

Wish list #1: A giant moon to lounge on.

The paper moon effect has been a popular photography set, since photography’s earliest days, and has become a covetable glamour set piece for cabaret and burlesque performers…. including me! I want one!
