Tonight we had a nice long meeting, debating clothing options for LV in June, and trying to settle on a bikini. We also decided to stay in two different hotels so it's like two vacations rolled into one! Hooray!
We did some dancing as well, though Baby didn't show up because of her cold. Me and Ingrid practiced Minnie with some assistance from Pepper, Lola and Mags, for our Barcelona gig in April. Contessa left early to catch a Salem al Fakir concert, and Dixie stayed for one round of Minnie before she left.
I also booked our tickets for Saturday's HK Club, which I think will be the first visit for all of us together since we left, and only my third visit since then! I'm excited. Most of the time we're working when their clubs are on, and now we're all going after our snazzy Kitten dinner.
Saw some really swell shoes at Mixage, fuchsia satin pumps - oh la la... I'll be saving up for them...
Turns out Pepper also applied for BHoF, so now there are officially three Kitten applications in - exciting! And Sugar Kane, lovely lady, is also going to Vegas, so no matter who gets to compete we're going to have a blast for sure.
Okay, zoning out here, in front of bad TV...
Good night.

The Twirly Girl
The fabulous Miss Indigo Blue (coming to Stockholm next weekend by the way) sure puts her money where her mouth is!
Check out this lovely and extravagant twirl-buffet:
I'd better get to work on my twirling practice. Some day I shall master the one-boob-at-a-time-twirl!

Applications finally in!
It takes more time than I think it will to fill in the Burlesque Hall of Fame applications - it's the same thing every year. But now I've sent in the Kitten-application, and I'm very nearly done with my own. I so hope that I will be allowed to perform. It would be great to do "Perhaps..." there, now that I've done it at the NYBF and on TV.
I must say I'm a little proud over the way I handled my skirt malfunction the other day. Out of all the times I've performed the routine, I've never once had trouble with the skirt. It opens with a bow to the side, and buttons. This time the bow got tangled and tied itself into an impossible knot, the kind you can't get up without ten minutes of scrutiny and fiddling aout with the ribbons. I had to look down - I hate it when I have to look down - and I was like "I can't believe it. I'm on TV and my fucking skirt won't open!"
Luckily the ribbons had extended far enough that I could pull the skirt down, which was not at all meant to happen, but no one seems to have noticed. Except Contessa and Georgette, of course. They were in the audience, sweating...
Anywho, my new website is up and running too, check it out at http://www.duchessdubois.com.

Sweden's got Talent....
After three years of performing I've been on many different stages with many different audiences. Some superb, some awkward, some glamorous, some... "rustic", let's say. I've taken my clothes off in small Swedish towns and in Paris, London, New York and Las Vegas. But this was hands down the oddest thing I've done.
Not in terms of performing, although my fricking panel skirt fricking wouldn't fricking open - which has never happened before! But the whole thing was just sooo weird. And, I'm not supposed to talk about it.
Anyway, I was in the first run of performances for the Sweden's Got Talent 2009 TV show. Long ass day, I was the 27th of 30 performers to go on stage. The stage was great though, and all the TV peple were super nice and friendly.
But the judges... Goodness. Bert Karlsson - talk about pet peeve. Not so pet even. I really do not like that man. I don't know how to deal with being judged by him?! Sure, I want to advance in the competition, but do I want him to like me? It's like the antithesis of everything I am!
Interesting day, in terms of social anthropology, but a little scary all the same. Some people were clearly there because they were odd and would make "great TV" - did they know it? And it's really hard to remember who you are and what you think in interviews and introductions the way they go about it. I tried, but I really have no idea how I did.
That's all on that subject for now - there's no telling what will happen.
