So you have an amazing costume that you’ve taken ages to rhinestone and it’s smelling a bit stale after a few wears… Perhaps your corset needs a bit of a clean or your fringing is getting a bit funky. Sometimes a spritz of Febreeze will not do, as perhaps the item is stained, so here’s […]

As Lilly makes costumes, she sometimes gets asked for help on how to care for them. For instance, can tassels be washed? We often love putting loads of tassels on costumes – eg, on the zip pull to help us find it when on stage, or to finish a costume. Also belly dancers love putting tassels […]
We here at Bluestocking Lounge love new performers – and especially those who we have helped find their first feet on the stage (just look at Tickety Boo, Teezy Overeezy, Daisy Dalore and more!) so tomorrow night’s show will be even more special when two more Bluestocking graduates take to the stage.

This post first appeared on coochiecrunch.com in 2012, run by that lovely Transatlantic booty shaker Tuesday Laveau… Bring on the blood! Yes, you might have guessed, but for me it’s Halloween every day1 for the past 20 […]
Our Come Fly With Me show is next week and we are already getting very excited! Especially one of our favourite Welsh performers is coming to play! Miss Betty Blue Eyes lives in Cardiff but she’s no stranger to our Swansea shows! She will be arriving on stage via UFO we’re told! But we thought […]
Following on from the success of last year’s poetry vs burlesque mash up at the Dylan Thomas Festival, we’re exceedingly pleased to be doing it all again with our friends at the Dylan Thomas Centre in Swansea, November 7. Wordy Shapes Of Women is a night of burlesque and poetry and seeing as it’s Dylan […]
