Royal Vauxhall and the Glasgow Festival of Burlesque!

Well I've been and done it and I'm back home! What a whirlwind it all was.
On 6 November I made my Royal Vauxhall Tavern debut in Bar Wotever. This is a weekly cabaret show featuring new and experienced performers alike, and what a thrill to meet some of London Cabaret's stalwart stars! I was made so welcome and lots of people wanted to know if I was going to be around for longer. It was so hard to leave them wanting more as I was on the train to Glasgow the next day.

Still my beating heart - Mercury and Maxim performed a preview from their new musical!

Thursday night show at The Glasgow Festival of Burlesque.

What an amazing time. Catching up with dear friends, meeting new ones, and I am very, VERY proud of Botanica and Fanciforia Foxglove who also performed in Glasgow and did NZ proud.

Team Kiwi!!! 

Here's a video of my show at the RVT

Four more sleeps before the UK!

I am pinching myself - only four sleeps to go. A week ago the planning board was crammed with jobs to do, and now most have a black line through them. Very satisfying.
Packing is fun. I need day time clothes as well as costumes and all of the paraphernalia that goes into making hair and face look the part. But things are looking good for a two suitcase only situation, which will allow me at the other end to only need to take one anywhere with me at a time.
It's a plan anyway.

This cross stitch pattern on Etsy is designed by a Wellington based student teacher - I love his work!

So deep am I in the details, I have really only just started to realise what is happening - when people say, see you next week and they are in Brighton!
Now for a day of trying to get my mobile phone to be set up with Roaming, which is far more complicated than anyone will admit!

I'm off to Glasgow!

So exciting! 8-11 November I'll be in Scotland for the Glasgow Festival of Burlesque. I feel that the Glaswegians and Kiwis have a lot in common and if we can just understand each other it is going to be AMAZING.
Since I'll be over there anyway, I'm doing a few gigs in London too. As well as relaxing, visiting friends and family over there, sight seeing etc.

Fund raising is occurring too: more news to come!

Me saving money on costumes to save for my trip - A garden ornament as a head piece. CLASS!
