Interests:

 

I'm very interested in the burlesque movement, and delighted to see it's finally becoming more main stream again. The art of burlesque is a form of 'suggestive' entertainment with comedy, skits & dance. The meaning of Burlesque is often misinterpreted, but it allows women to celebrate their glamour & femininity without being distasteful. Burlesque has historically existed in many forms since the French Renaissance period - think Moulin Rouge or the Courtesan. But was in the 1840's that Burlesque defined itself as an art and took the form it's currently known as. During the Victorian period Burlesque & Cabaret went hand in hand to entertain the British lower & middle classes and to politically lampoon or make fun of the upper classes. The 1950’s also saw a huge resurgence in Burlesque Glamour. Dita Von Teese (ex-wife of Marilyn Manson) is the epitome of Burlesque today. If you’d like to know more about Burlesque, click on one of the videos opposite.

 

I'm interested in everything. Enthusiasm is a great motivator!

 I'm a Artist by trade, I have had exhibitions of my paintings around the world. Here's a picture of my latest work - I'm a weirdo as I like to paint in the dark;

 

Burlesque Racer Back Corset - Lip Service

 

I am a trained silver smith so I adore contemporary & antique jewellery. I also enjoy clubbing. I am a busy woman, but a very happy one! Love travelling & creative writing, mainly poetry have had a few bits n bobs published. Have lived in loads of far flung places around the world and settled in beautiful Edinburgh. The land of Castles, Steeples and best clubbing experiences in the world.  The Scottish are mad mad mad....and always hungry for more.....

Music:

 

My taste in music is eclectic ...I love electro house & decent thumping techno. Fan of the Killers, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Jeff Buckley, Smashing Pumpkins, Cyprus Hill, Ugly Duckling, Portishead, Carl Cox, Hed Candy, Air, The Tokyo Project, Stereotype, Defected in the House, Timo Mass, Eric Kupper, Mike Mcgarrity fae Freqbeat, Martin Solveig, Paolo Mojo, Kev Wright, John Carter, Eric Morillo, Mr Scruff, Ricky Palys fae BeatRoot, Green Velvet (Water Molecule - cracks me up - I'd rather be a ROCK!) Love Laurent Garnier, would happily be his D.J Bettie - if he'd have moi (Tee Hee.) Big fan of Chris Coco and Eric Satie, so I love Chris Coco's 'falling' mix. Enjoy different genres of music from to Eartha Kitt right through to Natalie & the Ten Thousand Maniacs & Fleetwood Mac *I am not ashamed...*   I love Johnny Cash, Bob Marley & Marvin Gaye.  Total Legends.  I am Big fan of Rebirth of Cool & my favourite CD ever is Rebirth of Cool Phive. Favourite ever Track is by Nina Simone 'Trouble in Mind' followed very closely by New Order's 'Blue Monday'

Movies.. ..Flicks.. .. ..


 

Lip Service Dangerous Liaisons Dress

My favourite all time cult classic film - Bonnie & Clyde. Napoleon Dynamite, You Me and Everyone We know, The Tin Drum, The double life of Veronique, Pulp Fiction, Marlena, Chasing Amy, and French Art house films.

Stop Staring Midnight Magic Deluxe Designer Collection Dress 

Books:

 

I'm a readaholic, love Brazilian author Paulo Coelho's book; Veronika decides to die - JUST READ IT!!! It's an incredibly fabulous book but 'The Alchemist' is a work of a modern day genius - my favourite book is Wuthering Heights - by Emily Bronte - followed closely with Shakespeare's Macbeth & Alice Walker's 'The Colour Purple'

.. .... .... ..
Heroes.. ..Dudes & the Super Fly Dude.. .. ..

 

Ivory Sweet Sadist Satin Bustier - Lip Service 

Heroes:

 

LAURENT GARNIER - for using his music as a tool for a political voice. Clever clever clever man, saw him at T in the Park when invasion of Afghanistan kicked off, he played a live set and the most amazing tune I've ever heard and the whole place went mental - the tune he played reflected the opinion of the people & what our governments were doing was wrong. The man has passion and uses his art by doing the right thing.

 

*Best Live D.J I have ever seen*

 

 Anyone who has a basic moral code of decency is a hero. And my son, who says he wants to be a hero when he grows up because everybody needs a hero....Awr! My daughter who at 5 years said to her teacher and me when admiring her artwork 'See Mummy I told you I'm better than than Andy Warthol.' (Warhol) The Lainstar who's my ickle Jambo Hun and Edwardio Boyteiro my King of the Picts... Banksy, now there's another incredible artist who is highly politcal & produces mainly illegal art which alters perspective. I think Banksy is a modern day people hero & I'm very happy about that! My all time hero has to be THE MAN - the peaceful Mahatma Gandhi who said “The Roots of Violence: Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Commerce without morality, Science without humanity, Worship without sacrifice, Politics without principles” And of course the under-rated Jesus - he was a fookin good dude. Mr Super Fly! And no, I ain't religious, but I totally dig his threads and his facial hair. Let's face it - he would have been a surfer. I would've chummed him. And troubled him for a shot in his shoes.

Who I'd like to meet:

 

I love meeting new people - I'd like to meet other like minded folk! Anyone who's a fan of Dita Von Tease, the burlesque movement & revival. I love vintage lingerie.  Folk who enjoy a decent night by kicking the arse out of it - bopping about to house, electro and decent thumping techno! Anyone who's into top quality nonsense. People who demand absolute randomness! I'm an old fashioned unconventional Gal at heart...who just loves irony... I'd quite like to meet the person who picked the Sumerian Toadstool. Wonder if he was left handed?
