Vicky Butterfly

If you ever get the chance to see UK burlesque performer Vicky Butterfly - do so! The video does not do her justice!

She was one of many highlights yesterday.

Re: Looking funny, but at least not in public

Actually I did, because I didn't take it off until after I had arrived at my friend Caroline's place, where we dressed up together with some of her friends, which means that I travelled through town, changing trams etc with curlers and a crocheted doily on my head. amonik was a darling and helped take the rollers out. Only one was a complete mess. Lots of photos were taken, but not with my camera, so I hope I will get them sent to me soon.

More from yesterday

Apart from Vicky Butterfly there was a swing dance number, a fashion show (great) and a good band that I had never heard of before: The Other flesh - and disc jockeys playing swing and rockabilly. I even danced some. And drank very little, which was just fine - it was the kind of party when you can both immerse yourself in it and go crazy or sit back and look and enjoy yourself equally.

Photos from yesterday

I couldn't decide which of these photos was the best, so I'm posting both. The rest of our gang looked really good, but I can't show photos of them without their consent - not in their costumes; amonik and I were the only women not dressed in corsets among us.
