May 3rd08 Razor Stiletto Sheffield

Well this is my first post, im gonna try add stuff that has already happened if i can to give a general gist of who we are and what we do but to give you a general idea we are a uk based burlesque dance troupe that tour internationally performing our unique rock burlesque show. Aswell as our full length show that is part original cabaret part modern rock show we also do backing dancing and support slots for rock bands and such aswell as music videos. i choreograph, manage and perform in the show and aside of the glitter kittens i am a dancer in the theatre show Vampires Rock. i will try and fill you in with our life on the road but having already done so much over the past couple of years for now im just gonna start from this week.

Saturday night myself and Scarlet had a gig in Sheffield at a night called Razor Stiletto, it was a pretty cool venue, a club called DQ, the night was an electro night which was a great change from all the rock nights we do, i was determined to get smashed after a week being serious and business like which i can only do for a short time before going metal and needing to let off steam! well smashed i did get,ha oh dear!! I know i drank a few pints before the gig cos i was genuinly enjoying the night and then they gave us a bottle of white wine, scarlet was driving so i was drinking solo in our gang you can imagine the rest from then on..rock n roll!! back to that later, anyway. showtime was good fun, a big crowd, good atmosphere,photographers,a nice high stage so everyone could see and we only had to do one routine so it was pretty easy for us. It was then party time before joining the headline band 'Darlings of the splitscreen' to dance onstage with them to their single 'Hiroshima'. We loved it, it was pretty cramped up there but the atmosphere was wicked. After showtime the night becomes a blur of alcohol induced antics that seem great ideas at the time, i probably wouldnt remember details except i filmed the whole thing,haha its a good watch, il try add some footage up soon, it includes hanging outside the toilets dancing with strangers,a very weird catwalk session,spanking a random girl in silky underwear and a quick chat with the security man in the mens toilets?! i dont know how these things come about but the strangest things start to seem the norm over time. well we partied til 4ish before heading home and getting very car sick(well alcohol sick) and having to stop on snakes pass,scary, scarlet bless her had to drive me home while i was passed out in the car and was no company at all for her. a good night though but a bad hangover the next day!!
