Happy Independence Day, dolls! I hope that you are enjoying a fun and relaxing holiday. If you're just chilling at home and looking for something festive to do, might I suggest that you try out this 4th of July Splatter Manicure I spotted on Clumps of Mascara?
Have a great one! See you back here tomorrow!

The Rockettes at the Burlesque Showcase
Hi All!!
As mentioned in my previous post The Rockettes performed at a Burlesque Showcase Friday night alongside Burlesque dancers and musicians. Doing what we do best we performed a 30 minute set singing some of the best hits associated with this style such as 'Hey Big Spender' 'Lady Marmalade' 'Fever' and 'All that Jazz' to name a few.

Review: Dior Addict lipstick ColorPlay
I was recently given my first Dior lipstick as a present, and I have to say, Dior makes the best lipsticks! The lipstick is really easy to apply and lasts for a very long time, which is great, since I was given a very natural color (377 from the ColorPlay collection), which really looks good and not too made up all day long.

The color is really subtle and slightly pink, so if you have been looking for the perfect every day lipstick that suits everyone, this just might be the lipstick for you!
I've heard that people who want stronger colors for their lips are slightly dissapointed by this lipstick, however, so I would say that this lipstick is better for those of us who prefer natural looking makeup.

I liked this lipstick so much, I am thinking of getting some more Dior products from the same line to try out.

My beauty wish list right now
NARS lip gloss Orgasm. I know so many people who swear by this product, so I've been wanting to try it for years. Literally!

NARS Pore Refining Primer. Sounds like a great product based on the description, so this intrigues me a lot as well.
![]()
Any product from Soap and Glory. I haven't tried this brand yet, but it seems to have a lot of really interesting products. And I absolutely love the packaging!

(all pics are from ASOS, where you can buy the products as well)
The beauty look of the day
Has to be these supercool orange nails, seen on Swedish fashion blogger Sofi Fahrman's blog.

I'm really quite in to orange nail polish and yellow nail polish at the moment, it feels like something new and fun, but I am yet to try it out on my own nails.
I wanna be a Burlesque Star!
Hi All!
I'm having one of those moments in my life where I wish I was someone else or lived somewhere else doing something other then tapping on a keyboard 9 hours a day as a career - i'm not saying that I don't enjoy my job because I do, it's just sometimes I wish my life was more exciting. I'm sure we all experience these days. And I haven't seen the recent film Burlesque either so this idea has not spouted from watching that haha.
We all know that this style of dancing is basically a form of striptease, but I find it so much more glamourous to that of a stripper in a lap dancing club personally. I know both types of dancers get paid to reveal parts of their bodies to others but there is just SOMETHING about Burlesque dancing I love. And mix that up with another passion of mine which is singing then you have a cabaret style performance.
Over the decades many a lady have graced the stage in the most beautiful attire such as corsets, stockings, feather boas, fasicnators, high heels and so on. I adore lingerie and have a few items that are strictly for the bedroom (as you do) and wish I had the kind of money that can be spent in places like Agent Provocateur but for now I will make do with Ann Summers and reasonably priced online boutique. Take a peek at these styled outfits.....
If you were not aware one of the original and well known dancers is this style is Lili St. Cyr who perfomed in the art in the 1940's and 1950's....
Since then there have not been many worldwide famous dancers until more recent years when Dita Von Teese came on the scene...
The musical Chicago was made into a movie and it is one of my favourite films to date. Although the women are not stripping they perform in a cabaret style in fab outfits...
And finally the Pussycat Dolls rocked it worldwide with sell out tours wearing one of a kind outfits....
Basically in light of what tonight will bring for me and The Rockettes, we will be performing at the Embraced Burlesque Cabaret Show in Wolverhampton... very excited to say the least! So I get to wear a fab outfit and don't worry I will be uploading photos of attire and our performance etc.. you may even get a video post on it :o)
But what are your thoughts on Burlesque shows and clothes?
