Dear Constant Reader,
Vote for The Boston Babydolls for “Best Theatre Group” and B.A.B.E. for “Best Dance Classes“!
As you read this, I’m on my way to Asbury Park, NJ and then Pittsburgh for the premier shows of The Fine Art of Burlesque. However, I would not neglect your Friday tip!
Always unpack after a gig.
Immediately after you get home, if possible. Pull out all your stuff: costumes, props, jewelry, shoes, makeup, hair ornaments, etc. Throw the washables in the laundry. Air out the non-washables. Make sure everything came home with you. Put aside items that need repair (and try to get to it as soon as possible). Put everything else back where it belongs, including your suitcase.
The next time you have a show everything will be clean, mended, and right where it’s supposed to be!
This tip inspired by Betty Blaize who finally found her missing underthings this week. They’d only been in this suitcase since March.
Oh, The Glamourous Life!
