Burlesque Baby

2 hours later and I am in awe !

Is it wrong that i want to walk around in this all the time?

I know pearls are more evening wear but i'm sure i could tone it down for a shopping trip

LOL

With the bob Christina really reminds me of Roxy Heart from Chicago, the style really suits her

I was in awe of the beautiful costumes that the actresses wore so I googled their origin only to find that they were created by one of my favourite costume designers, Michael Kaplan.

Cher's website states

"Kaplan drew from the art form’s long history. The costumes, he says, span “the ’20s through the ’40s, and there’s also a feeling of the ’50s and ’60s too. Some of it even has a tiny bit of futurism.”

This basque is suductive with a slight humour (there are also hand prints on the boobs)

I think if there were somewhere that sold lingerie like this it would sell really well. There's nothing more daunting  for myself (i don't know if any of you feel the same) than walking into the room with the guy just staring at you. At least this would lighten the mood a little !

When I was looking for images of the costumes I found this shot.

Not only do i love the actual garment, the feather, swarovski crystals and incredile boning, but the actual photography or still (can't quite decide what it is) really drew me in.

Let me know what you think

Burlesque

So I recently joined the world of Twitter and now can not spend a couple of hours without checking it

I feel like the worlds biggest stalker and I'm only following 40 people majority of which are companies or magazines !

There is always something there especially when your follow people from the US

From a new interest of mine burlesque, I am following the one and only Dita Von Tease.

Having joined my uni's burlesque club, I will soon be able to seductively remove a glove (pretty sure this will only come into use during the autumn and winter months as i have very little desire to perform a strip tease!) and ruffle a feather boer like no other.

Its not just her that attracts me to it but the confidence that people seem to get from doing it!

I'm not going to lie though, looking as good as she does in an over sized martini glass does have its appeals

But also the underwear and exquisite outfits (above is a prime example)

So in the spirit of things i have now made an executive decision to educate myself further and watch the 2010 film Burlesque starring Christina Aguilera and Cher

Hi everyone

My first post about a real passion/ addiction of mine.

UNDERWEAR

Honestly I spend a ridiculous amount of money on it and my friends have to drag me away from the shops when I'm near to them especially towards the end of the month.....

 I hope you all like my blog and get involved :)

La Senza honeymoon lingerie nightwear LaceLovely

First installment, just been looking at the LaSenza blog and came across the bridal collection shoot which got me curious

The link above shows my favourite piece from the collection, its really beautiful and feminine

babydolls are one of my favourites as they cover a multitude of sins !
