Aitch and I and couple of friends went to a burlesque show last night, Aitch just happened to see it in the paper and we decided it would fun and I must say I really enjoyed it. It was very funny very raunchy but not as erotic as I expected but that didn't detract from my enjoyment at all. The girls did decide it would be a good idea to sit in a sofa right at the front despite me saying that it might be a bit dangerous and someone might get roped in to the performance, and I wasn't wrong and that person was me. Once the hostess asked me my name I knew I was in trouble and got roped in on 3 separate occasions, one of which end in me denouncing my love for my wife and proposing to one of the performers Miss Ivy Paige!

There are some videos on my Facebook profile too :o
If you get a chance to see something like this I recommend it hugely despite the potential for embarrassment, although I didn't care I was numb on cocktails anyway :D

Oh I forgot to mention that the girl who did the pole dancing was the same one who did the tuition at the Maidstone PD meet :)

I've always fancied going to a burlesque show myself. Must try to get around to it sometime.
Must agree with MB, go see one if you can. They are really fun. Absolutely 100% not in any way sleazy. I saw one earlier in the year and it was like walking into the 30s. Really fun event.

Yeah they really aren't sleazy, yet have naked people and pole dancing and stuff. My friend has some pics of one on her FB and they had fully naked male and female strippers, looked like a great 'couple' thing to do.
Caskus - there's a great sporadic Burlesque night in geordieville.
My shop sells Brlesqe stuff...Discount to boat drinkers ;)

Ooooo - what range of prices for the steel boned ones? :D
I definitely sense a visit. Preferably when I can walk.
Excuse the shonky, low-res, out of focus, wrong colour phone cam pics but:

You're such a girl ;D
You're such a girl ;D
I'm the only straight man who knows what Mary Janes are, I think... :p
Also the only straight man who can size a corset by eye, who can lace one differently depending on what the wearer wants from it, who can tell the cut of a dress by eye, who can recommend a cut based on figure, and who can spot a fake LV Murakami from 100 yards.

Does your shop do mail order Mr Penski?
We will do in a few weeks - currently having the site rebuilt. Once everything's sawted ahhht, I'll try and sort a BD discount code.
If its something you need now, and we have it in stock, I'll post it down to you. Because I'm a nice kinda guy :p.
If its for your big night, we have some perfick mini hats that clip on at a cute/jaunty angle with little hair clips. Pearls, crystals, flowers, black, cream...We may have a red one left...

Fab! Have a show coming up but won't need stuff til March so no rush. We're looking for bustle skirts at the mo, although I have a feeling I may end up making those to keep the costs down!
How many would you need? We're making some of our own atm so will be able to retail for 'teh cheap' due to cutting suppliers out of the chain...

I went to one here in Liverpool last year. Tuesday evening it was in Heebee's (for those that know it). I thought it was ok, but, well, kind of boring really. It was students slightly too ugly for stripping or who couldn't dance.
One of my work colleagues is into Burlesque (she is also a cheer leader/tutor) and she has now become my very good friend ;)
I have to say it was great, and what I would call titilating:evil: rather than raunchy
We had a corsety day today... :)

Oooo I would love to get my waist like that. I've never worn any under bust corsets - I'll have to go shopping at some point to try some :)

That's only down to 20.5...She hadn't worn it in about a year. That particular one goes down to 18.
Without being cheeky, do you have big boobies or little titties?

Not sure where the line between big or little is ;D Probably lil - 34bish (yes - ish :p )
Waist is nowhere near as small as hers (I still come under "large" for corsets I've looked at). Naturally I'm 28, comfortably I can wear 26, can get it to 25 (just don't ask me to do anything ;D ) would be happy with natural 26/wear 24
Not sure where the line between big or little is ;D Probably lil - 34bish (yes - ish :p ) Personally I think anything over a small D cup looks a bit weird in an underbust. You should go for it ;D

I'd size a 24 as a small (our 'cinched' sizes range from 18" to 36" with larger and smaller placed as special orders). Depending on brand, a '24' will take you to 24" from 26-30"! Some have a 6" modesty panel for the adventurous.
The added benefit of an underbust is that, because it only cinches the waist and the floating ribs, it is easier to go smaller than an overbust which will transfer compression to the fixed ribs no matter how carefully you lace it. Try a 24 underbust - you'd be surprised.
