"TwistedStarz Designs started out as a hobby for me. After breaking into the world of burlesque in 2006, I quickly realised that my student budget would not suffice when it came to costuming my acts! So, I began making a few things for myself. Soon, some of my friends asked me to design things for them and since then I have been constantly widening my range.
Having graduated lasy year from Glasgow University with a degree in Theatre, Film & Television, I now work full-time as a writer, performer and costume / accessories designer. TwistedStarz Designs offer quality, hand-made designs for both experienced performers and those newer to the stage. If you don't see what you're after, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do! Happy twirling!"

Anyways speak to you soon,
Oh and thank you, thank you, thank you :D Haha! I'm so chuffed.
hey! ive been thinking about getting a pair of tassles for a while now (just for the fun of it!) and i thought i would show my support for a local-ish girl :D i hopefully will be sending you a msg next week! xxx
Just wanted to say a big thank you for making all those tassels for me especially with you being so busy recently -it's much appreciated. Anyway last night was fab, both you and Cat deserve a big pat on the back hehe! Will let you know when I've got enough pennies for the fans.
Yeah was lovely to see you too! It was such a great wee night.
Sorry about Darren and his mate -they were far too drunk haha! It was torture putting up with them in the car home.
Thanks soooo much for my hats there so pretty, and def worth the wait :) Sorry I didn't put my pink one on though, I tried but I think I had too much hairspray in haha! Oh, I had gotten you 4 of the wee clasps you use on the hats for 50p or something at my work and I totally forgot to bring them, nevermind will hopefully remember next time.
Glad you had a good b'day. Will def come and say hi on Fri but don't feel you have to rush the pink hat I honestly don't mind, plus they always say good things come to those who wait so I'm sure it'll be worth it.
Meant to find a spare 5 mins to jump on the computer last night and wish you a happy b'day, but no such luck :( Anyway happy belated b'day! I hope it was a good one. Will come say hello on Friday @ Cheesecake.
