Can't Stop, Won't Stop!

Goodness me, it's been a busy couple of weeks! This is the first time I've had to actually sit down and write. I'm sat with a lovely glass of wine, surrounded by cats and watching trash TV - bliss!

Last week Burlesque On Ice was taking part in some early morning filming for Magic FM at Westfield. Another week, another 5am start! It's not a real thing and I refuse to believe in it :P

 

Skates on at 8:30!

Having an impromptu lesson with Sam ** Sarah's ready to skate!

It was a fun little morning - Zebrowski Photography came along and captured all the (ahem) Magic... sorry...

Super sparkly skates! Want!

And this is the finished video!

Later in the week I joined on of my favourite Burlesque ladies, Chrys Columbine, to attend the opening of a new private members club in Mayfair and had a lovely evening being plied with complimentary champagne and shisha!

My two besties from back home in Chester came to visit during the week, and we spent a day being tourists, shopping in Oxford Street, eating loads of food and getting ideas for Christmas presents!

 

The worlds largest pancake! ** My Christmas present from Victoria's Secret?

Shows are coming thick and fast (oo-er) at this time of year, all over the place in London and across the country. I've also had shows at the glorious House of Magic - it's impossible to take any pictures there though as the night is so packed and full-on from the word go! One day I'll manage to squeeze in a mirror picture or two though!

So alongside working in a 'real' job several days a week, skating rehearsals, show rehearsals, auditions, castings and gearing up for the premier of my new (long awaited!) act in two weeks, it's been rather hectic! And, in true December style, there's no let up now until Christmas!

Speaking of Christmas - have you got your tickets for Burlesque On Ice yet? Perfect presents! And here's the fabulous teaser video...

Christmas Countdown and Chrystals

This week has been pretty bonkers and I'm absolutely exhausted so I'm probably going to phone it in and just post lots and lots of pictures!

Twice this week I was up at the god-awful crack of dawn - not even dawn at this time of year! 4:45am! Glorian Gray and I had to be up for super-secret ninja skating rehearsals, which I could finally reveal, an hour before the performance on Wednesday evening, was the Christmas Light switch-on at Westfield Shepherds Bush!! Eeeeek!!!

7am rehearsal call

Catching the train with Glorian at 5:30... not a real thing.

I had a lovely day on Thursday, recovering from the previous night by meeting the beautiful Coco Malone and Chrys Columbine for afternoon tea, before eventually heading to the amazing Hippodrome Casino for Chrys's show the Chrystal Cabaret!

It was such an honour to be part of this incredible show in such a historic and renowned venue, and I thoroughly enjoyed every second.

Oh yes, it's a leopard print pointe shoe... part of my costume for Chrystal Cabaret (though any excuse, right?)

On Saturday I was shooting all morning with Broadcasting Agency who were very excited that I took my feather fans!

Then after a lovely date afternoon, I was back at Proud Cabaret for a fabulous show with some of the best performers around!

I enjoyed my hair last night: the roll went all the way round - it was hard to take pictures but I was super-proud :P
