On Stage with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis

Well Well Well...directly on he heels of a whirlwind month (Lost in Space, Fashion Riot), Ruby Mimosa and I get the word that we'll be dancing on stage for the 3 nights Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are at  Key Arena.

Say. What.

Yes, Ruby and I have played a minor role in the world tour since June.  She and I are the Burlesque Gals in the vignette before "And We Danced".  My oh my, to play our roles live.  Why yes Sir, that sounds lovely!

Here we are, shimming and fanning Raven Bowie (aka Macklemore aka Ben Haggarty).

What an experience.  The Band, Crew, Production Team, EVERYONE was so darn sweet to us, and made us feel like we'd been for the ride all along.  What an experience

 "...cuz tonight is the night. DANCE!"

Final Show of Tour: Dec 12, 2013

Fashion Riot was a HIT!

I bet you wish you'd been there now huh!

The Belgian Spiegeltent known as Teatro Zinzanni was the setting for this showcase of Northwest Design and Talent.
And what a Night it was: Sold Out!
Fashion ranging from avant garde to leather bags, wearable fashion to vintage Eleganza...there was literally something for everyone!

This magical evening could not have happened without all the lovely and talented people involved, from the designers and models, Hostess and Dj, cast and crew, and the delightful folks at Teatro Zinzanni.

Enough of me waxing poetic, check out some pics for yourselves!

Super Mario Aerial

That's right!  I've ALWAYS wanted to do a geeky Super Mario Act.  For years I even had a complete Mario theme bathroom:

(Now it's Kraken theme)

 

I knew I was going to be a part of Emerald City Trapeze's show this month, so I decided it was finally time to put a Super Mario thing together.

 

Here it is folks, In all it's bumcheek-bared HD goodness:

The Haute Couture Collections 2013

Ooooooo....Ahhhhhh  (Angels singing ethereal music).

The Couture Collections...the highest of high in standard of design, fit, and craftsmanship.  In modern France, haute couture is a "protected name" that can be used only by firms that meet certain well-defined standards.  A brand can only be deemed a couture house by the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Paris.

So put away your Juicy, and saddle up for a few of my favorite looks from this season's Collections.

 

Jean Paul Gaultier.

(But who hasn't loved everything from him since the Madonna cone bra!)

 

 

Ulyana Sergeenko

(Look at these adorable orange gloves!)

 

 

 

Versace...Always sexy.
