I can cut and sew a basic 8 panel corset in just under an hour. Wanna race me? ;)
More complicated corsets (with busts or any frou-frous) certainly take longer -
I am always planning new crazy routines! It is my favorite thing to daydream about while sewing away the hours on customer orders.
I have some epic tales to tell through burlesque in the near future. One is glamorous and sparkly, and teaches you a life lesson about money. The other is about feminine care products.
I will be debuting these in the coming weeks, so check my page (bonnybabs.com) for updates and events. I have applied for some festivals this year. I can't name names yet because I fear jinxing myself, but you might see me soon internationally even! Only time will tell. :) -
Hahaha! I guess if you want to think so! I think talent is something you're born with, but you can only really get far in the world by working hard. And I pride myself on being a super work-a-holic! *,* So, maybe I just seem so talented because I am working so much? In that case sometimes it is hard to be working all the time! hahaha!!!
That is an incredibly nice compliment to receive.Thank you!:) -
I'm a little confused by your wording and I'm not sure what you are asking. But I can state my opinions here, and I hope it will answer your question! If not, please feel free to ask another, and I will do my best to answer!
My opinion is that in the past 10 years burlesque performance has been and is extremely welcoming to women of all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles. It can be a really good outlet for women with body image concerns to gain confidence in themselves and find a great group of supportive friends in the community. If you still have concerns then you should find inspiration in some of the fabulous stars of burlesque who are larger ladies, like Dirty Martini, and Foxy Tann.
As far as cosplay goes, I think there are more judgmental people out there, and more people who live in fear of certain "trash talking" websites. So I pretty much see two options. You can either select costumes based on what is flattering to your figure, or you can wear whatever the hell you want, and walk out into the crowd with confidence (even if you just have to pretend you're confident) and screw what anyone else might have to say! Everyone likes a confident person and most people will respect you for making your own decision. -
I do not teach burlesque currently. I have taken some dance classes and I practice at home a lot with dance tapes to gain skills. But because I'm not a formally trained dancer, I don't think it would be appropriate to teach classes. It would be like the semi-blind leading the blind! XD
I guess I would offer my tips on someone's performance if they asked me my opinion. Other than that the only thing I would be good for in terms of classes would be sewing. I'm definitely qualified for that since I've been doing it professionally for 9+ years! -
Actually I do! I just got put on the bill for a Valentine's Day show in Milwaukee!

I have some more traveling coming in the near future that I hope to announce soon! Be on the lookout for me in your area!
