Dear Constant Reader,
At last the post you’ve been waiting for. What burlesque goodies did I buy at BurlyCon? Not as many as previous years. I’m not sure why. Maybe because Atomic Cosmetics wasn’t there this year. Maybe I just wasn’t in a shopping mood. I’m saving my pennies for a set from Glorious Pasties.
Clockwise from top:
- Tea from Jacqueline Hyde. I can’t live without my Bad Things tea. She’s no longer going to be selling her tea on-line, so I stocked up. However, she’s agreed to supply the tea for my party at The Great Burlesque Expo *and* she’ll be vending there.
- Wide bracelets from COCA. I like to wear bracelets when I fan dance, since my arms are one of the only body parts that are visible. These will be perfect for Sugar Rum Cherry and we’re coming up on that season…
- Socks from The Sock Monster. These were actually a gift from Scratch. He gave each of the BeauTease a pair of socks that he though expressed their personalities. Mine are somewhat medieval and say “Runnin’ the World and Stuff”.
- A merkin from Gothfox. I tried making my own last year for the silhouette in An Invitation and wasn’t thrilled with how it turned out. Better to have a professionally-made one for next time.
- More palettes from Beauty Butler. These are the “Flirt” size, for organizing my train case of on-the-go makeup.
- The (at the time) latest issue of Zelda (#12). Although there are no credits, I was one of the contributors to the Vintage City feature on Boston.
Not pictured is the signed photo of Guest of Honor Delilah Jones all curled up in a giant champagne glass.
Scratch also did a little shopping. His best find was this fabulous costume that belonged to Raven Roland — complete with pasties. You can see it in person at The Great Burlesque Expo!
Oh, The Glamourous Life!
