so ja, a mate of mine from coal also makes these very awesome corsets (as well as being a fucking hardcore shaitsu person) and some of her product was on display at last night’s black orchid burlesque thing at mercury.
this rocks. you know it does. (secret garden corsetry) the show was fun although a little off on lighting, sound, technical problems and some pretty dismal performances by some of the models who you could see were roped into the game based on friendship alone.
but aside from that it was lovely. i really enjoyed Miss Diva DisaStar, the ballerina and the opera singer – who was particularly fab. clever addition i think.
miss diva.(though, chicken, unless you’re fucking barbara streisand you should NEVER be too busy for a photo. just saying. diva in name only love. in name only.)
ballerina boy (left), opera singer person (right) (she’s simulating sex here and with every thrust she’s hitting some pretty impressive high notes. made me smile.)
the belly dancers were cool, but i wasn’t too sure what the dude and this biscuit on the right were on about. take it off or leave it on, don’t bring your shyness to the spotlight
i’ve never watched a black orchid show before; i’ve always found their ticket prices a little OTT. this was confirmed by another chick in the WC after the show who was gushing about how much better this r30 show was compared to the r320 show she saw at artscape last year. THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY RAND?! are you fucking kidding me? saying that i think this show was worth more than the r30 cover they charged. where’s the middle ground lasses?
this was the opening scene. i quite liked it. though the boobs didn’t fill the corset sadly.
there were a lot of very well-dressed peeps here but my phone camera’s shit and ran out of power early. i like the pic on the right. it’s quite hopperesque don’t you think?
i love watching people watch
ah well, that’s me for today… will post more about other stuff soonest.
love

This is not the typical Black Orchid Burlesque Show. This was a sideline project that was done in conjunction with Cadillac Barbie Hair and Tattoo Studio.
