Liquid Leicester, The Glitter Kittens

Today is exciting for the fact our new kitten the gorgeous Kitty De Ville will be doing her first GK gig with myself and Denim, im looking forward to seeing her as its been a while since What the Butler Saw. We meet at mine and have a catch up with a bottle of wine while we get ready and wait to be picked up for the gig. Once we get to Leicester everything goes wrong, firstly we cant get anywhere near the venue to park as its blocked off by loads of police and theres loads of commotion in the streets! Were used to drama so dont worry too much but we have to park far away and walk to the venue which was pretty funny considering we were already semi in costume and was carrying riding crops, top hats and the likes! Then we arrive to find out were 2 hours late due to our agency giving the wrong time to us, good start, they then stick us upstairs in an office for about an hour with no clue whats going on, not amusing and were getting a bit pissed off, to be fair they did give us lots of booze but as we hadnt been on at all and had two sets including ballet routines en pointe getting drunk was not gonna help the situation. Eventually someone came for us and took me to the dj to discuss our music, all a bit late to be discussing this I thought and low and behold they were shocked to find out were a rock burlesque act!! Well hello, its only on most of our advertisement!! Things were not looking good, there was guys in all kinds of coloured shirts looking chavtastic while groups of women with no shoes on acted out greased lightning to each other!! Our show opened up with Muse and had the likes of Manson, QOTSA etc in the set, this was never gonna work! What was also strange they said we had asked to go on at 12.45am and not come down the stairs, I had said no such thing to the discovery of a second dance troupe not anything to do with ourselves being here too that nooone seemed to know anything about..very strange goings on in this venue. In the end after many a quick meeting with all sorts of staff backstage we come to the mutual agreement to cut our 20 min set to just 2 tracks that we can do that loosely fitted the evening, poor Denim then ends up not even performing but filming the event, we should of filmed the mix up really!! I end up doing Kiss by Prince and Kitty ends up adapting her Marilyn Manson solo to Dirty by Christina, ha all fun and games eh, the crowd loved it and we pulled it off no thanks to our agency or the venue but it did prove how proffessional we are to do a gig unprepared and still be a crowd pleaser so I was proud of us all for that, it does make me feel cautious about any gigs booked by agents rather than myself as I never have this sort of mix up when I talk to the venue direct. It all was experience though and we got to do our first Kitty gig, besides it can only get better from here at least haha!

kitty sat waiting in the office,if only all office workers dressed like this eh!
