It was strange coming back to Burlesque after such a long time away - I wasn't even sure I'd remember how to do it! I mean, sure, I know how to take my bra off, I still do it most days; but in time to music, one handed, holding a pair of feather fans, while people watch... hmmm...</div>

But, while much has changed (and maybe that's a subject for another blog?), some things haven't changed, and one of those things is how welcoming the cabaret world is. I've had Facebook messages from people welcoming me back, and glitter-covered hugs at backstage reunions; I've reconnected with some of the best people on the planet, and met new (to me) performers who are simply wonderful.</div>

I have to admit I was a bit scared to come back; would anyone remember me? Would I get booked? Will audiences tastes have changed and no one would like me? But I needn't have worried, and now I wonder why I left it so long! I had my reasons for stepping away, and I have my reasons for coming back. But I also had reasons why I dithered for a time while I considered it, and I'm so glad I made the decision.</div>

<br />
But, I started to miss performing, so I decided that it was time for me to pop on my heels and make my way back to the stage; and what lovelier place to come back to than <a href="http://www.proudcabaretbrighton.com/" target="_blank">Proud Cabaret</a> in Brighton.<br />

I have to say I was actually terrified (though it was Halloween so rather apt!) I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to perform any more!<br />
<br />
But, it went well, I think... At least I didn't fall over, and everything came off when it was supposed (and stayed on where it was supposed to!) so that's a win in my book.<br />

In 'real life' news, work is going well, studies are going well, plans are coming together and I'm rather satisfied right now! It's a wonderful feeling!<br />xx</div>

Is This Just Fantasy?Crikey, where does the time go? I can't believe it's been nearly two months since my last blog!!<br />
<br />
In my defence, I have been writing a blog, just not here: I've started back at university! And the assessments are done in the form of a blog so I've been working a lot on that. As previously mentioned I also have a 'real' job now as well so that's obviously been taking up a lot of time. It's fun though!<br />
<br />
However, the beauty of this now is that I can pop back and forth between my real life and my cabaret life, as I have been for the last month or so - so here we go!<br /><br />
I've been Rocking The <a href="http://www.kaff-bar.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kaff Bar</a> in Brixton a couple of times: it's the most bonkers fun show and we always have a laugh - imagine a big kids party for drunk adults and you're half way there: sparklers, face paint, sausage rolls and a big curly wig all feature and it is the greatest night ever!<br />

And that's that for now - I'm poorly today so I'm off to hide underneath a hoodie, drink tea and watch Disney movies. It's a patented (by me) cure-all for any sort of sickness. And wine. Wine is also good. But I don't have wine so tea will have to do for now.</div>

Well it's been pretty damn hot the last couple of weeks, hasn't it?! In more ways than one!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've had a tonne of amazing shows at three of my favourite venues: <a href="http://www.houseofmagic.co.uk/" target="_blank">House of Magic</a>, <a href="http://www.kaff-bar.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kaff Bar</a> and <a href="http://www.proudcabaret.com/" target="_blank">Proud Cabaret</a>, and it has been fabulous - hot, sweaty, deeply unglamorous at times; but full of fun, laughs and lovely people. And that, my friends, is what it's all about.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
P.S. - I was uploading these pictures and realised how much the people in them are some of my favourite people ever! That made me happy!</div>

I was lucky enough to be offered a ticket to watch the glorious Diaghilev Festival at The London Coliseum as well - considering I had only been to the same theatre the previous week to watch<a href="http://www.leahdebrincat.com/" target="_blank"> Leah Debrincat </a>in the opera 'Cosi Fan Tutte' I felt very posh going again for the ballet! It was actually stunning and the third act combined a full corps-de-ballet, a full orchestra and an entire opera chorus! I got goosebumps!</div>

But I've had a couple of people ask so this is more of a 'Frequently Asked Questions' situation.<br />

I'm going to be stepping away from Burlesque for a while; not quitting, as such, just not getting involved in the hustle any more. I will be honouring bookings I've already got in my diary and I'm still available for shows but I'm not going to be travelling much outside London, and I'm not going to be pushing for constant work, work, work.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
I took the decision a couple of weeks ago to reactivate my 'real' profiles on Facebook and Twitter. I realised a long time ago that Facebook can be poison and I was finding myself getting horribly depressed over the smallest, most insignificant posts and pictures. I will still use my Burlesque profile, but only for what it was intended to be; a networking tool.<br />
I went back onto my 'real-life' profile and deleted everyone I didn't know or didn't care about (I set it up when I was in college and got carried away, accepting friend requests from all and sundry, whether I knew them or not, whether they were current friends or people I went to primary school with!). I made a conscious choice to only add people from the industry if I considered them, what I call 'Coffee Friends'. That's not to say that I don't class a huge amount of people I work with as friends, but if I can't hang out with them and drink coffee, and talk about things *other* than Burlesque; if I'm 'Mia' to them; if I couldn't call them with a personal problem; if they don't know much more about me than the bare basics, and if the only things they post on their pages are related to the industry, then, with the greatest respect and love, then I'm not going to add them in my real life. If I loose 'friends' over this, then it kind of just proves the point that we're obviously not 'real-life' friends in the first place.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Facebook is NOT REAL LIFE anyway! And it was starting to mess with my head; being a not-real person on a not-real medium. What we post on Facebook, for the most part, is an airbrushing of our real-lives; as, what is essentially a fictional character, that is another step away from reality; and with some Burlesque performers this can create a whole load of shite; "ooh, look at my new amazing costume" "ooh, how sparkly is this necklace" "oh that bitch can't do her make-up for shit" "oh I'm so, hashtag, annoyed"... I've fallen prey to this in the past, and as a networking tool Facebook is perfect for showing off new acts, costumes, finding out about gigs and keeping up with the Joneses. But it's not healthy for me to be so submerged in this any more. So I'm stepping away.<br />
<br />
In real life I'm moving on; I'm growing up I guess (<i>gasp!</i>). It was bound to happen. As much as my stage age might be one thing (and I still, sometimes, get ID'd at bars, in supermarkets buying wine, and, once or twice, for lottery tickets!) I'm no longer a spring chicken, and sometimes I feel downright old! I have some wonderful things happening at the moment: I have a new job - a proper, grown-up, full-time job, that I'm really excited about and want to give my all to. I have also been accepted into University in order to take a course which will top-up the vocational qualification I already have into a full, BA(Hons) Degree. My significant other is also moving on with new projects and circumstances are changing for us. In the context of all these events, Burlesque can no longer be my priority and I no longer, really, want it to be.<br />

I don't really know whether I like it any more. The industry has changed beyond recognition from when I started all those years ago. In the last eighteen months a lot of the top performers have either quit completely, wound down their performing a lot, or moved into other aspects of the industry away from performing. A few of them have written really interesting blogs about their reasons for doing so, others have chosen silence over huge statements. I'm still a performer through and through so I'm choosing the big bang :P<br />
When I first started, Burlesque was still relatively underground and exciting. There were hardly any shows or clubs outside London and small, emerging groups of performers in a handful of the big cities. Back then the newer performers worked for free, or expenses, or, excitingly, around £50 cash; and the top performers were earning hundreds or sometimes thousands of pounds for corporate events, launch parties and private shows. Nowadays the newer performers are demanding to be paid for every single show, and the established performers are being asked to work for free. The Burlesque Bubble burst many years ago; it's rare to get a huge paycheck for anything these days yet the standards are higher and the competition is fierce. Where are all these performers getting the money for their costumes?! Why should performers think that swarovski equals talent... and breathe. I <a href="http://miamerode.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/what-makes-good-performer.html" target="_blank">blogged about all that crap</a> a year or so ago, and I don't want to care that much any more. There are much more important things to occupy my brain space with than glitter and fairy dust.<br />

<i>From my first ever Burlesque performance</i></div>
<br />
I've had a couple of setbacks anyway that have forced me to rethink my choices. I <a href="http://miamerode.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/a-weighty-issue.html" target="_blank">blogged about one of them</a> when it happened. And recently I've heard things about myself, read something about myself, and been told things to my face that, while I may appear to be unfazed or nonchalant about, have actually really got to me in the end. I no longer want to be made to feel bad about myself. I no longer want to be sat at home thinking "why did that person get that job?" "how did she get that gig and not me?" "what do I have to do to make people book/want/like me?" That kind of thinking is pure evil and I refuse to allow it in my head any more.<br />
I don't want to be made to feel like I'm not a good performer because I can't afford a custom-made eight-thousand ply ostrich feather boa. I'm not less of a person because I buy my underwear from Primark and not Agent Provocateur. And, elephant in the room, I may be slightly curvier and less toned than some of the gorgeous ladies I share a stage with, but I am, by no means, fat. I am size ten, with a bit of a belly and some cellulite. And nine times out of ten, I'm fine with that. I want that to be ten times out of ten. It's funny that Burlesque gave me the confidence to be happy with my body (after being massively overweight as a child, followed by years of eating disorders, I've tipped the scale at both ends!), yet has ended up almost destroying my body confidence in the end. I've said it before and I'll say it again: As Burlesque becomes more commercially acceptable, there is a lean towards a more commercially accepted ideal of beauty. And I don't fit that. I know that, and I've tried to. But you know what? I like food. I like ice-cream and the occasional take-away. I like wine. I really like wine. So that's that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LwFOOHzL4pE/U8E7L6uMeXI/AAAAAAAAFaE/INmwpC9-lds/s1600/wine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LwFOOHzL4pE/U8E7L6uMeXI/AAAAAAAAFaE/INmwpC9-lds/s1600/wine.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I still love performing; I love being on stage, I love creating new acts, dressing up, putting on make-up; I love the adrenaline rush of being in front of an audience, the feeling of doing an act really well, of accomplishment. And I love it when the audiences members tell me afterwards that they loved my act or that I was their favourite (even if they say the same to every single performer on the night!).<br />
I've made so many friends, real friends, had some amazing experiences and incredible opportunities that would never have happened without Burlesque, and I don't regret it for one moment. But all good things must come to an end, and a lot of the things that made Burlesque good for me have ended - whether actually ended or just come to an end in my mind.<br />
<br />
And you know what? The last couple of weeks, I've been really happy. Actually, real-life happy. I'm not constantly comparing myself, my life, my choices or my body; I'm doing things and seeing things and being with people that I really, genuinely want to do, see and be with, and it's flippin' wonderful.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So I'm not going to stop completely. Just step away. I guess I'll be a (shudder) hobbyist. And I'm fine with that. I think I'll enjoy it more now it's not my main focus any more. I won't be scrabbling for scraps of gigs or sucking up to people I don't want to suck up to just in case they might throw a show my way in three months time. I'm going to do the shows I want to to do, with the people and the companies I want to work with. And I'm going to be fucking fabulous while I do it.<br />

Last year I was lucky enough to be<a href="http://miamerode.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/quirky-and-cool.html" target="_blank"> invited to The Tower of London</a> for the Ceremony of the Keys; and on Monday we were invited back again! It was another fantastic evening spent with friends; I'm such a geek for History and being in such a historic place with like-minded friends was just lovely. We were served sausage and mash in the Yeoman Warders Club, with cake in a teacup for dessert, and I won a bottle of wine in the raffle!</div>

On Tuesday the Cabaret community came together in grand style at a fundraising event for <a href="http://kittydevine.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kitty Devine's</a> little nephew who is very poorly in hospital. It was a truly fantastic night at Proud Cabaret; raising a couple of thousand pounds to help Baby Nolan!<br />

I had an amazing 'first' this week as well: I went to the opera! The incredible<a href="http://www.leahdebrincat.com/" target="_blank"> Leah Debrincat </a>was performing in Cosi Fan Tutte at The Coliseum and I went along with a couple of friends to watch. Having never seen an opera live before I wasn't sure what to expect but the sets were amazing, the singing was beautiful and the costumes were envy-inducing! Afterwards we met up with Leah in the Opera Room of the bar next door!</div>

In between all the fun and frolics, I found time to have a picnic in the park, and have downtime with the boy and the cats! I've also had some exciting developments in 'real-life' that I shall be sharing at a later date! It's been a good week!! :)</div>

Shows:<br />
Quite a few! Can't remember a lot of them though as I've been a bit pants at remembering to take backstage pictures, but I found these pictures on my phone that are obviously from<a href="http://www.proudcabaret.com/" target="_blank"> Proud </a>but must be a couple of weeks old - I can't find them further down on my blog so I'm going to add them here with an apology!<br />

I had a couple of lovely days out with the boy, visiting various places. We spent a beautiful sunny day in Hastings where we visited the castle, a couple of museums, a nature reserve, went on a cable car up a cliff, and had a drink in a smugglers den!<br />

A few days later, we found a hidden gem so close to our house; Beaver Water World (snigger) is a nature reserve, miniature zoo and exotic animal rescue centre!

I had a couple of accidental nights out at the <a href="https://www.londonwonderground.co.uk/" target="_blank">London Wonderground</a> watching <a href="http://www.houseofburlesque.co.uk/" target="_blank">House of Burlesque</a> and <a href="http://www.theblackcat.info/" target="_blank">Black Cat Cabaret</a>. Accidental because I honestly didn't plan on getting tipsy and going out, but these things happen... and they were fun!</div>

Oh yeah, and it was also my birthday! Wooh! So I celebrated with a group of friends in the best way; eating food and drinking bubbly wine! I got cake from the girls at <a href="http://www.dancia.co.uk/dance-shop/london/#.U6WG3_ldVYQ" target="_blank">Dancia International</a>, free pizza and prosecco from the restaurant we went to, and seemed to have a bottomless glass of wine at the bar afterwards! We all ended up at The Coach And Horses in Soho joining in with <a href="http://mistermeredith.co.uk/" target="_blank">Mister Meredith</a> at the piano for a good-ol' fashioned knees up, and a wonderful time was had by all - even if I had several messages the next day from various people claiming I'd destroyed them. It's my birthday - I win.</div>

<br />
First off, I joined the fabulous <a href="http://www.houseofburlesque.co.uk/" target="_blank">House of Burlesque</a>, for the <a href="http://www.kissmedeadly.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kiss Me Deadly</a> catwalk show (so much gorgeous underwear!), at <a href="http://www.tabernaclew11.com/" target="_blank">The Tabernacle</a> in Notting Hill. A beautiful venue, and lots of lovely ladies - what more could I ask for?!<br />
<br />
Well the following week I was back with them again for their regular show 'Banged Up' at <a href="http://www.madamejojos.com/cabaret/banged_up/about/" target="_blank">Madame Jojo's</a> in Soho, which I adored; so funny, sexy and such fun!<br />

I travelled up to Sheffield and back for the <a href="http://thealternativeandburlesquefair.com/" target="_blank">Alternative and Burlesque Fair</a>, hosted by Heresy 'N' Heels - it is a great event; stalls, shows, exhibitions - the works! It's just a shame I always seem to go to one of them when I have no money! Although maybe that's a good thing as I'd certainly have no money *left* afterwards - so many beautiful things! It was a fun afternoon and I was very well looked after by Lorraine and Jo, and the rest of the team, which certainly made me feel better after the most nightmarish morning of travel follies!</div>

I am one sleepy showgirl! Plus I think I caught a bit of a chill from travelling around in the unseasonal cold without sensible shoes or a coat. So it's my own fault really and I'm going to go and console myself with wine...</div>

And I have had *much* fun the last couple of weeks!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of my favourite shows in recent memory was <a href="http://www.rubydeshabille.com/" target="_blank">Ruby Deshabille</a>'s new rock-cabaret show, held for the first time at<a href="http://www.kaff-bar.co.uk/" target="_blank"> Kaff </a>in Brixton, and wonderfully titled 'Rock The Kaff Bar'!!</div>
<div>
Alongside Ruby and <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeMorose" target="_blank">Joe Morose</a>, we definitely rocked it! And the audience got involved too with hilarious games including 'Brian May The Best Man Win' and 'Oh, Oh, Sweet Child Of Mime'... Brilliantly bonkers! I can't wait for the next one in May!</div>

So on Tuesday I shot with <a href="http://zebrowskiphotography.co.uk/" target="_blank">Zebrowski Photography</a> for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vanity-B-Corsetry/524011830977798" target="_blank">Vanity B Corsetry</a> alongside the gorgeous<a href="http://www.rubydeshabille.com/default" target="_blank"> Ruby Deshabille</a>. We were working on some promo images for Antonia's new corset and tassels range and supplemented her glorious creations with some fabulous costume items from <a href="http://www.angelsfancydress.com/shafts_full.php" target="_blank">Angels</a> on Shaftesbury Avenue. Ruby and I had a fan afternoon dressing up and playing around, and Antonia made us cupcakes!! So good.<br />

On Friday I was fortunate enough to be given a ticket to the<a href="http://www.eno.org/" target="_blank"> London Coliseum</a> to watch the Monte-Carlo Ballet's performance of 'Lac' - the ballet was a re-imagining of Swan Lake and fused classical ballet with modern and contemporary dance. The cast danced their hearts out on stage, completely committing to the unusual but brilliantly realised choreography, and it was captivating! The only thing that could have made it better would have been a live orchestra.</div>

Then it was back to <a href="http://www.proudcabaret.com/" target="_blank">Proud Cabaret</a> on Saturday for another fantastic show with my glorious cabaret reprobates and some of my favourite people: backstage is as fun as the performance! Although I have to say I had one of the greatest moments during 'Shake It Doll' ever... it involved a stag party and a toy cat being thrown onto the stage... filth :P</div>

I've had two fabulous shows at <a href="http://www.proudcabaret.com/" target="_blank">Proud Cabaret</a>, with a whole host of wonderful people - the audiences were bonkers and brilliant, and, despite bone-shattering tiredness we all smashed it! It was great to meet <a href="http://www.misspollyhoops.com/" target="_blank">Polly Hoops</a> at long last - there are some people I perform with regularly and am lucky enough to hang out with all the time, then others that I have never met or only see once in a blue moon so it's great when I get to meet new, amazingly talented folk!</div>

Along those lines, I'm still loving aerial hoop, even though I definitely injured myself this week by falling off the hoop. Well, I cracked my toe on the floor. Pathetic, but at least it's a cool way to hurt my foot rather than just stubbing it on a table leg which is the usual way I manage to break things! And it definitely made this weekends shows more interesting trying to choreograph around a hobble!</div>

On Thursday I started an aerial hoop course at<a href="http://www.myaerialhome.co.uk/" target="_blank"> My Aerial Home</a> and learned 'Man In The Moon', 'Amazon' and 'Hocks-on-Top'. I also learned two different ways of getting onto the hoop and only fell off once, so I call that a win! I can't wait for next week. I'm still keeping up with trapeze as well, but it's hoop that I've always wanted to do and I love it.</div>

In my defence I had a terrible cold and all the plans I had for the beginning of the week were written off and replaced with a slanket and a cup of tea, then I forgot to take any pictures at various shows, and you know I like to share lots of pictures!<br />

<i>I took myself for a day out around The British Museum: Reading about Drama History and saw The Rosetta Stone!</i></div>
<br />
So - what have I been up to? Well, I made the<a href="http://miamerode.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/new-years-resolutions.html" target="_blank"> New Years Resolution</a> to try more new things - I wasn't more specific because I tend to fail on specifics, but one of the new things I <i>really </i>wanted to try was Aerial Classes. I did a short trapeze course several years ago but I severed a tendon in my hand and obviously had to stop that! I have to admit I was a bit concerned about going back to it as a) I wasn't sure how my hand would hold up under pressure (answer: quite well but it hurt the next day!) and b) my upper body strength is non-existent!!<br />
<br />
However: I popped along to a taster trapeze class with<a href="https://twitter.com/AntiqueLace13" target="_blank"> Antonia</a> and we had a blast! I've signed up to an Aerial Hoop course starting in a couple of weeks time and until then we're planning on going once a week for basic lessons to build up our strength and skills before the course starts! Eek - I'm so excited!<br />

I had a few lovely shows over the last couple of weeks as well - Saturday at <a href="http://www.proudcabaret.com/" target="_blank">Proud Cabaret</a> was my favourite though; the line-up was fabulous, and the third act was especially epic! I opened with Shake It Doll to ACDC, <a href="http://www.rubydeshabille.com/" target="_blank">Ruby Deshabille</a> performed her Kashmir Fan Dance, <a href="http://www.leahdebrincat.com/" target="_blank">Leah Debrincat</a> was dancing to The Prodigy and <a href="http://missyfatale.com/" target="_blank">Missy Fatale</a> closed Kabarett Verboten, to Aphex Twin before <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeMorose" target="_blank">Joe Morose</a> sang Sympathy For The Devil as a finale! It was the most upbeat, ridiculous third set ever and we loved it! Backstage was great fun too with such a lovely group of people and we spent most of the night in fits of giggles (especially difficult in a corset or similarly tight fitting costume!)</div>

<br />
This week began with some much needed relaxation time and I had a lovely couple of days not really doing a hell of a lot, just relaxing on the sofa, watching movies and catching up on missed sleep. I've been on a mission to reclaim my flexibility and I've been stretching every night for the last couple of weeks - I've already just about got my right leg splits back, and I'm working on the left. I've never been able to do box splits because of my stupid hips, but I'm glad to see that the flexibility I had in college hasn't gone too far!<br />
<br />
On Wednesday evening I joined the fabulous <a href="http://www.dannideequeen.com/" target="_blank">Miss Danni Dee</a> at <a href="http://freedombarsoho.com/whats-on/" target="_blank">Freedom in Soho</a> as the guest of the The Danni Dee show. It was great fun, with a hugely enthusiastic audience, and <a href="http://zebrowskiphotography.co.uk/" target="_blank">Taz</a> came along with<a href="http://littlejek.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"> Jess</a> from <a href="http://www.burlesqueonice.com/" target="_blank">Burlesque on Ice</a> to cheer me along, which was lovely!<br />

And that is that - it's been such a wild journey from way back in June last year; I've been lucky enough to learn a new skill, perform in a truly amazing and unique show, make a tonne of gorgeous new friends and get to know some old friends much better.</div>

Yes, there's been ups and downs, but you get that in any walk of life, and maybe it's the rose-tinted specs talking but there have been more highs than lows, and the end result was as spectacular as I always believed it would be.</div>

<br />
The <a href="http://miamerode.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/burlesque-on-ice-rehearsals-week-two.html" target="_blank">last couple of weeks</a> I've been sharing all the gossip from behind the scenes of <a href="http://www.burlesqueonice.com/" target="_blank">Burlesque On Ice</a> rehearsals - and now we're into week *three*!!<br />
<br />
Eep - this week has been manic! Fabulous fun but crazy busy as we gear up for the show in a couple of days... So, how did we spend our final week before showtime?!<br />
<br />
<b>Monday</b><br />
This morning <a href="http://www.rubydeshabille.com/" target="_blank">Ruby Deshabille</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/CarliAnnJohnson" target="_blank">Trixie Kixx</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/MissBonnieFleur" target="_blank">Bonnie Fleur</a> and I joined the fabulous <a href="http://www.dannideequeen.com/" target="_blank">Danni Dee</a> at a rehearsal studio in North London to work on the finale for Act 2 of the show - proper showgirl dancing and it was amazing! I've not really done proper full out dance routines since leaving college; other than a couple of small shows and corporate bits and bobs and it was lots of fun.<br />
<br />
In the afternoon we went back over to the rehearsal rooms to continue the ice section of the show with <a href="http://burlesqueonice.wordpress.com/2013/11/12/hollie-deller-principal-skater/" target="_blank">Hollie Deller</a>; we spent a couple of hours going over the choreography, cleaning and changing one or two bits, then had time to work on our individual solo routines too before getting our skates sharpened - it's very sticky now!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Tuesday</b><br />
I was up early this morning, which regular readers to this blog will know I *hate* but needs must, and all that (our cat was back at the vet for a check up at cock-o-clock in the morning)<br />
<br />
Before rehearsals I nipped over to Leicester Square for a very brief meeting with <a href="https://twitter.com/AntiqueLace13" target="_blank">Antonia</a> to swap some costume bits and try on the dress for my ice solo - it's going to be gorgeous and I'm so excited about it!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>A sneaky mirror picture (in sexy grey tights) while being fitted for my costume!</i></div>
<br />
We spent the rehearsal drilling and refining the group numbers; Hollie wants them to be so ingrained it's more muscle memory than anything else so we can concentrate on giving the performance of our lives rather than worrying about the steps! Then after going through our solos one by one we did a run-through of the whole of Act Three!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>And I got chilly...</i></div>
<br />
<b>Wednesday</b>Another fun day - we went through the group routines and solos several times and they're looking SO good now!<br /><br />Absolutely exhausted as a couple of us went out for a few sneaky beverages to send off <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GlorianGrayComedyBurlesque" target="_blank">Glorian Gray</a> who was heading back up North for the last time before show week!<br />

<b>Thursday</b><br />
A long day, but a good one all told! This morning I went to the dance studio with Ruby, Trixie and Bonnie to rehearse the showgirl dance number and had a lovely couple of hours gossiping and dancing around.<br />
<br />
In the afternoon we went back to the rehearsal hall; the whole show is looking so slick and polished now - I just want to get on and show everyone how good it is!!<br />

Last day in the rehearsal rooms! We did two full show runs today and it was wonderful to see it come together - we don't rehearse our sections at the same time as the pro skaters so we rarely get to see their routines, although it was SO nerve-racking having them watch ours!</div>
