My Birthday Bash

I had a wonderful evening and celebration of my birthday at Midnight Burlesque, on Friday the 8th of April!! The show was amazing and so was the girls! The whole show was such an uplifting and feel good experience. Great humour, fantastic costumes and sexy ladies that came in all shapes and sizes. I don't think I've been laughing that much in a very long time!

It also made me think about how we girls are way too critical about our own apparance.. That we have to stop thinking we're not good enough, when we are beautiful just the way we are! We don't have to look a certain way. We are all born different, so why stribe to look the same? Or in some way that very few women on this planet look like naturally. Stop worrying about cellulites, dimples, too big this, too small that, wrong shape, too short or long or what ever.. I say live your life and be happy, either you're a small, medium or large. Always remember that you are beautiful and unique!

Besides isn't imperfect what makes us and life interesting? Just like the imperfect is way more perfect, than anything perfect can ever be..

What do you think?

A small peek on the show from Friday, all snagged from the internet this time.. I was too busy watching to get the camera out of the purse:) hahha

Ps: I'll be coming with some more photos of the costume, hair and evening in a later post;)

Sassy Valentine

Either you're on the look for some sexy lingerie for Valentine, or just wanting-needing something new.. Have a look over at Baby Girl Boutique and check out their beautiful collection of lingerie. I especially love their large collection of sexy retro pinup and burlesque inspirered lingerie. They have something for allmost everyone though, either your into retro or the more modern looking lingerie. I could easily have bought myself broke ordering there last week, but managed to stop in time by promising myself to be back for more sexy goodies next month... *drrrroool*

You save 10% on each order if you receive their newsletter and like most of the online stores they usually have sales around every big holiday.. Like Valentine! So if you have time to wait for it, the chance is you can save a little more;)



 





Marilyn Monroe Personal

The newest additon to my book collection



After reading the review on this book at The Marilyn Monroe Collection blog, I just had to get this gem of a book! Soon to be published, it's the newest book out about the wonderful glam kitten, legend, diva and girl next door, Marilyn Monroe. The title of the book is MM Personal, and not without reason.. It contains photos of her personal files and documents. Her correspondence with friends, telegrams, receipts, her personal items, and also art that she phurchased before her death... I can't wait for it to dump down my mailbox and maybe learn something new about the person behind the icon:) The book can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com.

Forbidden Images From the Past..

This is a short film I found on Youtube the other day. It's made of cuts from old movies, parts which were concidered tabu back in the days... All of the clips is found in the same movie theatre, somewhere in Pennsylvania. It's allmost like a peephole into the past.. Interesting to see how much of the woman body that were considered sexual and forbidden, compared to todays society were the celebreties are trying to overdo each other on each apparance, letting little to the imagination.. I'm not sure if it was better back then, but I do think it's more beautiful with subtle hints, than just laying it all on the plate... Anyhow, enjoy this beautiful, mind tumbler of a short film and transition into the past!

Sensual Doll's by Beatrice Morabito..

Beatrice Morabito is a female artist born in Italy, currently working in Genoa, Italy. I've wanted to make a post about her for a very long time, but never came around to it. Maybe because she's such a favourite, her art truly touches a special string in my heart.. I've been in love with her stunning photos of the Sybarites since the first day I layed eyes on them. Like she's been swinging some magic wand over them and have cast a spell, she has given the dolls life through her beautiful and expressive photos. Powerful, silent yet screaming at you with their emotional messages, mirroring different aspects of life and society it self...

I hope the page won't be a pain to load, but I couldn't stop when I added photos of the lovely dolls, and there's even still more that I would like to add... Obsessed? Haha

"I’m not a “Puppet Maker”... I didn’t “materially” create these Dolls but, as Leopold Von Sacher Masoch didn’t “materially” make the woman and the fur but Created The Venus In Fur and all the emotions linked to this archetipo, by a cetain point of view I created these Dolls. I created these dolls in the way you’re seeing them. I created them in the way your’re appreciating them. So, the Dolls you’re seeing aren’t the Dolls themselves but the Dolls created by my eyes, my mind, my hands"…

"My Own Purpose is to express my Creativity, my Feelings, my Moods though the photographies that I take, and in this case photographies of Dolls. My Own Purpose is to reach Pleasure. My Own Purpose is to express my Own form of Art. I always take inspiration from the inner World: the World of Inconscious"....

Have Yourself A Merry Little Marilyn Monroe Thanksgiving...

With Thanksgiving coming up soon, I stumbled over this unique recipe on The Marilyn Monroe Collection Blog! What isn't better than stuffing your turkey with the very same stuffing as Marilyn Monroe used? If it was good enough for the lovely glam kitten, I'm sure it's plenty good enough for us other minions;)

“I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy”...

A Witch's Shopping List

After a relaxing day at home, it's time to hit the shops and get what I need for Halloween!Especially for my costume.. I fear that it can take some time to get it together! For now I'm being a little secretive about my costume, as my dear friend, sweet Miss Lindy Lee will be attending our Halloween Party this year. No fun if it's not kept secret.. But I promise to reveal it to you later on;) The shopping list is long and rather peculiar looking.. More like a witch's shopping list, or mad scientist's scribbles. I'm not sure if I'll be able to haunt down all the ingredients for the special night, but hopefully I'll have most of it when I return home....
