Dear Constant Reader,
If you want to add some flowing fabric to your acts, you need to check out Silk Electric.
I first met Dulce when we performed at Burlesque Bingo in Longbeach, CA in 2019. Since then she’s been producing gorgeous dyed silk items for flow arts, bellydance, and burlesque. If you want veils, silk fans, flags, streamers, or similar, this is the place. She does periodic Silk Drops with her new items, so set your reminders because they go fast.
Scratch bought me a weighted veil from her at BHoF a few years ago and I absolutely love it. A weighted veil, you may ask… It’s a big hunk of silk fabric with a weight in one corner, making it possible to do some moves that regular, floaty silk can’t. I was introduced to them by Gaea Lady in New Orleans in 2018 and I was hooked.
You can see it in use here in this snippet of my act “Satanic Panic”:

I recently bought a set of fishbone fans and getting them was a saga, but I’ll just say Dulce went above and beyond with the customer service. While I’ll never give up my feather fans, I’m having a lot of fun with this style. If you want to see those fans in action (or are wondering what the heck a fishbone fan is) come to The Spookeasy Lab on October 18th.
If you’re tempted by the silk, but don’t know what to do with it, Dulce’s got you — she has a series of video tutorials. As a instructor myself, I’m impressed with her clear and friendly teaching style. And if you want something special, she does do custom work.
