zelda's burlesque classes - performance

After a rubbish weekend with one gig pulling out due to a series of events and breaking down on the motorway Sunday and missing our residency slot at Proud Galleries Camden I wasnt in the happiest of places monday morning but by monday evening thanks to a certain group of special ladies I was back in high spirits. For the past 7 weeks I have been teaching burlesque at Sunshine Studios in Manchester and though the group that was set to perform was small it was very sweet.
They did two group numbers with a solo routine inbetween courtesy of our very own GK Sophia, a small venue- the very elegant Tiger Lounge and small crowd but everyone absolutely loved it so it was definately mission accomplished!!

The next course will start next month, if your a total beginner or experienced the classes are fun, email me if you want to take part or need info, they are most likely to be running on a tues evening at sunshine studios.. zelda theglitterkittens@hotmail.co.uk


me and the ladies, im the least glamorous one in the middle!!

Rock of Ages, Leeds

good fun this gig, got a nice little changing room to ourselves and a crate of beers ( which disappeared mysteriously quick even for us?!). it was the first gig indeed performance ever of kitty o'shea are new sexy lady so all was very exciting. We opened with Welcome to the jungle where im a ringmaster and the other girls are my sexy tigers, into my solo (S)aint by Marilyn Manson- a striptease of sorts into Scarlets solo to Cherry Pie by Warrant- so cheesy and loved by everyone!!
After that we had some time to mingle, have some drinks and watch Heavens Basement.
Our second set was around midnight, we were all zombied up and ready to do our zombie cheerleading routine aswell as mine and scarlets duet followed by sophia doing the solo nun routine!! il add vids when i can get time to upload them.
All in all had a good gig and a good laugh and was really good to have five of us kittens there tonight. Talk to loadsa people some great some not so and caught up with old mates, Ru, Scott and Phil which was nice!! gotta get ru down to skake her ass soon too!! Had some advertisement space on a pair of boobs which was nice and branded the first guitar ever with a nipple tassle, Sid from Heavens basement now has a lovely green tassle hanging right in the area of his rock love pump haha!!

Life, Leicester The Glitter Kittens gig and Zelda Daily Star interview.

This weekend (june 28th) we did a gig at Life nightclub in Leicester which was a little different than most places we play as it was a large pop/rnb club and our show mainly revolves around rock tracks and themes but we were ready to rock the crowd anyway!! The people that worked there were very accommodating, they gave us lots of security guards to look after us and escort us around the club aswell as on and off stage which was nice, we didnt have anything to worry about except the show which was a 30 min set of duets and solos with a couple of group numbers thrown in to measure, the crowd started off not really knowing what to expect and i think the girls were a little cynical but once it got rolling they all warmed up and started to really enjoy it. One of the highlights of the show was our cheeky nazi routine Mein Herr from the film Cabaret.

A good night all in all, there was stilt walkers and a good party atmosphere but we didnt stick around long and decided to drive back around 2am to a sing song in the car!!
Sunday was Radiohead at the cricket grounds-all good and monday morning was my interview for the Daily Star
The article on myself, The Glitter Kittens and Vampires Rock should be in the Take 5 magazine in the Daily Star sunday July 13th.

June 25th What The Butler Saw Cardiff Burlesque night..

Big thanks to all at What the Butler Saw for looking after us and giving us an amazing night, everyone was lovely!! We weren't performing but just went down to watch our newest kitten
Kitty Deville from Cardiff, the theme was wild west and she did a wicked routine where she was a 'male' robber doing a stand and deliver type routine before stripping down to a sexy female reveal all complete with a toy horse and arrest at the end!! Great stuff! Loved it there with the girls Kitty, Sophia and Lolly Pop as well as our friend Dan, hopefully we will be back there soon and possibly performing at one in the future! Lots of funny pix from our drunken shenanigans. heres a couple inc pic of me in my cowgirl costume which is pretty much how i dress on a normal night out haha!




sophia,zelda,lolly pop and kitty deville
haha im so drunk on these pics!!

The Glitter Kittens rock Download Festival.

Had an awesome weekend, myself and sophia ran riot around download festival and had much fun!!
We were joining rock band Voodoo six there and promoting and stuff which was a good laugh, gives you an excuse to meet lots of strangers too which is always fun. This year there wasnt too many bands I wanted to see (beside Voodoo Six of course) except Motorhead and Pendulum who didnt disapoint!! I was so excited about Motorhead i was sad haha, Kiss were great too, we got to stand at the very front and jump around alot like nutters, i did take pictures but i think the alcohol had taken over any artistic qualities I may have.. We spent the rest of Friday night partying and spreading the word about The Glitter Kittens and such, met some cool random partyers to team up with and debated getting tattooed for free backstage before decided it was probably smarter to do it over the weekend when sober!! Saturday we were working but made sure we caught Pendulum and HIM, we wanted to ask Ville Valo for a pick with us but again never got round to that cos we were drunk ah well!! Another party night though a bit tamer followed, Download Festival had a stupid 10.30pm curfew on the arena this year and as we weren't in the campsite the only parties we could go to were the backstage ones and they were pretty tame and lame to be honest!! Lots of people waiting for someone they recognised which isn't my scene and was a real let down for me, what happened to the late night cabaret's here and shows like the burlesque ones or dirty sanchez or lucifire and the suspension hooks?? without that second lot of fun to look forward to it felt a bit calm for a festival but what can ya do!!

London proud Galleries gig Camden..The glitter kittens burlesque Live.

great day out in London, there is no where better to be than Camden market on a Sunday so the great thing is we have a new monthly residency doing glitter kittens sets for Proud Galleries one Sunday every month! yay wicked!! we started off on June 8th and had a great time, did 2x10 minute sets which went down really well before having a boogie to dj Johnny Clash and getting very tipsy, the night was booming til late so stayed til near the end before popping to the Dublin castle for a pint where we met a couple of weirdos who were trying to set up threesomes with random strangers before falling out with each other and causing a scene by the female of the pair pouring around 4 pints onto the very simple and smarmy gent who stayed in the venue and tried to carry on solo! very odd haha! we headed back to our hotel for some drunken gossiping before finally falling to sleep content and worn out!!
