Who's Queen?!

 So, how does one Emcee a Burlesque show dedicated to the band Queen? As a queen of course!
 Zip up RTW short jacket, embellished with real lace from my stash, and the pale blue sash of a Monarch.
 Bustle overskirt whipped by my shop seamstress Kat, when I realised the day before that I was not going to find the one I already had in time. Wee crown by my lovely friend Paul, on a lace headpiece and veil.
 Of course, it wouldn't be a Burlesque show without a bit of disrobing nonsense. In this case, while singing Crazy Little Thing Called Love!
 That's a worrying expression!
The final reveal! The devore velvet fashion corset I bought online in sale from Ashley Stewart. The velvet frayed away from the seam allowance on first wearing. Disappointing but I like it enough to fix it. RTW is what it is!
So now, back to show writing and rehearsing. As you were xo

  1. What a fabulous costume. Queen are great. So kitsch and camper than a row of pink tents. Sounds like it would have been a great show. Xx

    1. It was a LOT of fun! The SWAT team that did Another one Bites the Dust with fans made from fly swats was life altering!
