Dear Constant Reader,
I’ve got a semi-regular show with an occasionally rotating cast of performers. One of them is relatively new to burlesque and quite talented. However, I saw she was wearing stick-on pasties. You know, the flat kind that one might wear to be cheeky under a sheer-ish top. She deserved better. And I just happen to know someone who could make her a nice pair of professional pasties. That would be me.
Since she’d been wearing star-shaped stickers (I just can’t call them pasties), I decided to make five-pointed star pasties using one of Manuge et Toi’s templates from her huge library — you can buy any or all of them for yourself here. As I usually do, I started with buckram for the base and attached a layer of silver lamé. It would give her a nice shine if she wore them plain and also be a good base for rhinestones later. I wanted to her to be able decorate them in her own style.
At our last show, she arrived frazzled and then asked if anyone had pasties she could borrow because she forgot hers. “Well…” said I, and pulled out the pasties, “You can’t borrow these because I made them for you.” She almost cried. I love it when I can make a little difference for someone.
Here they are
I can’t wait to see how she embellishes them!
