About Me |
|
Velvet London was set up as a community of those involved and interested in cabaret and burlesque. We run monthly burlesque and cabaret meetups where we give new performers a stage and established performers a chance to try out new acts with an enthusiastic and supportive audience. We always include the "talk to a stranger" networking section to give performers, musicians, photographers, costume makers, promoters and others the chance to meet and talk. This has lead in the past to new business opportunities, creative collaborations, friendship and even romance! After a most incredible 1st birthday event at Madame Jojos, the meetup is taking a chill pill and heading this month to hip East London for our next event on Thursday 3rd July. Also check out our new adventure The Rubadub Social Club at the beautiful Pigalle Supper Club. Returning as late Friday night show on the last Friday of the month. www.myspace.com/rubadubsocialclub For listings of all things burlesque and sophisticated check out www.myspace.com/sophisticates_diary. It's the best. Since setting up this site we have been thanked kindly, asked how we are and been told we just need to whistle if we need help. We have been told that it sounds fabulous, that we should have a fabulous day and that we should stay fabulous. We have been sent love, lipstick kisses, smooches and have been told we are wondrous. We have been called sweetpea and dollface. We have people trying to sell their beautiful veiled hats, latex couture and nipple tastles. We have one request for pie, but that was my friend Jimmy from Wigan and it's grim up north. We believe in romance and suspect you do too. In defence of romance we need to fight back before it is lost forever. Keeping the dream alive will require some semi-nakedness, but there will be a spinkle of opinions, a dash of social politics and a rather large dollop of humour. So ladies, gentlemen, kind folk, lets bring Burlesque back to Britain. Lets bring it back to class. We may be sexy and funny and clever but goddamn it we're not cheap. Bring it on. If you have any other queries we'd love to hear from you via myspace or by emailing velvetlondon@btinternet.com Love and hugs from Velvet x (Cathy and Bridget aka Vivacious Vi) MySpace LayoutsPictures from Cabaret and Burlesque meetups: Published with permission of these photographers: Most pictures by the fantastically nice and talented James Reynard www.myspace.com/sensual_image and Adrian Multon www.lacunaimages.com.
