Nose to the Rhinestone: Day 1

Dear Constant Reader,

My first Nose to the Rhinestone day wasn’t terribly exciting, but productive.

I created registration for the April Introduction to Burlesque class and updated all the appropriate pages on the B.A.B.E. website. I also wrote a blog post. Answered and sent a couple of emails. I think that was all the computer work for the day.

I spent just a little time tidying my sewing room/office. It’s hard to work in such a disorganized space, but I’m trying to clean it in manageable bites so I don’t just give up in frustration. Then I made a dozen pairs of teaching pasties. The rounds were already cut, so I just had to glue and tassel. It’s kind of tedious, but needs doing.

The one really creative thing was finally starting to work on new pasties for The Faerie Queene. It was just the first step, involving some glitter spray paint on lace. Pictures when there’s a little more progress.

I concluded by reading a couple of chapters of Goddess of Love Incarnate: The Life of Stripteuse Lili St. Cyr. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while. I’m really interested on how it compares to Gilded Lili: Lili St. Cyr and the Striptease Mystique.

Nose to the Rhinestone: Day 0

Dear Constant Reader,

You may be puzzling over the title of this missive. The wonderful Bazuka Joe created the Nose to the Rhinestone challenge thus:

1. Spend at least 30 minutes a day (Ideally 1 hour) focused on your craft
2. Show travel and show days count.
3. If you miss a day, note your reason why and try to make up for it later.

Now that February is almost over and the craziness of performing for 5 weekends straight (Mardi Gras Ball, The Expo, R & J, Peepshow Menagerie, Monday Night Tease, and a private party) is over, I thought the upcoming lull in March would be a great time to dive into this challenge.

I will definitely be writing about it here, to stay accountable. I haven’t decided if that means a daily report or a weekly one. I guess I’ll figure that our tomorrow!
