Dear Constant Reader,
Last day at BurlyCon!
How to Wear & Tease with Kimono (Cherry Typhoon):
Here I am wearing my kimono (it’s a yukata that I made — let’s ignore that the sleeves are too short and focus on my lovely sashiko embroidery) and one of Cherry’s obis that I tied myself. Yes, it’s off-center. I prefer to think of it as en dishabille. The sad thing about this class was Cherry thought we had 90 minutes, but it was an hour timeslot, so we never got to the teasing part.
Showgirl Fan Dance (Jezebel Express): Fans, therefore I am there. The challenge for me in this class was that Jezebel uses a different fan grip than I do, which creates a different effect. I tried my best, but it was awkward. Eventually it clicked. I ducked out a bit early to prepare for my next class.
Caring for Your Costumes (Me!): This is one of my favorite classes to teach. It was small, but that’s to be expected late on Sunday afternoon. But it was also enthusiastic and attentive which is all I ask. Last time I was at BurlyCon (2 years ago), I also taught this class. Based on the feedback from that class, I expanded the stain care information & made it into a handout and brought a couple sets of my cloth storage bags for sale.
And then I skipped the last class session so Scratch & I could do some shopping. And then I collapsed.
Oh, The Glamourous Life!
