The big day approaches

As the day for the Miss Burlesque SA heats approaches, my nerves are getting more and more jittery. I'm starting to dream about it now, and my act songs are permanently on repeat on my ipod. I think I hate those songs, I listen to them several times a day. I run through my acts in my head before I go to sleep (an explanation for the dreams) and have my costumes hanging up where I can see them for motivation and inspiration. This is pretty usual behaviour leading up to a production, but why am I so nervous?
I'm pretty sure most people get at least a little nervous before a performance, and I am no exception. However, having been performing since I was about 8 years old, I've learnt to relish the nervousness and fuel it towards powering myself on stage. I love being on stage, I'm an absolute addict. Before a Peaches 'n' Gin production I am normally more nervous about things like ticket sales, enough seating, music and lighting, and all the other things that go along with running a show.
I think it has mostly to do with the fact that this is the first time I've been officially judged (we're always unofficially being judged by our audiences!) on my performance skills since those terrifying ballet exams when I was seven years old. It's also the first time I've competed with other performers (apart from the food fights I've had with Sapphire on stage!), and it's not helped by the fact that the SA entrants are all of such a high calibre! I've always considered myself a very confident performer, as I've said before, you have to drag me off star sometimes. But this competition has got all my normal performance feelings twisted around. Hopefully when it comes to those seconds before I step on to stage and the lights come up, the usual surge of adrenalin and excitement will carry me to success, and I won't drop my basket (or case!).

Welcome to the Peaches 'n' Gin Blog!

Welcome to the fabulous world of Peaches 'n' Gin Burlesque! I decided to start a P&G blog to let you know what we're up to outside of the world of burlesque, as well as update you with all the burlesque news and gossip as soon as we hear it! I'll be posting lots of cool stuff I find, so make sure you stick around and see what's on offer.

The last few months have been crazy busy, and it's impossible to recap all the stuff we have done. The biggest highlight was performing in the Australian Burlesque Festival. We had such a great time and came away so inspired. If you didn't make it along this time I highly recommend you get along next year. I have a lot of ideas now for our upcoming production...details of which will be revealed soon!


Our latest project is preparing for the Miss Burlesque Australia SA heats, happening Sunday the 25th of July. We've both been busy burlesque bees. Personally, I've been biting my nails, changing my music everyday, and sequinning till my fingers bleed. Am I being overdramatic? Well there some pretty amazing dancers in this competition from SA, WA and NSW. It's going to be a cracker of a night! We'd love to see you there, with Peaches 'n' Gin banners, tshirts, knickers, ya know...whatever takes your fancy ;)


We are also extremely excited about our upcoming classes! We have lots of fun stuff planned. Our first free class has actually booked out. If you'd still like to come though, drop us a line at info@peachesngin.com. If we have enough interest we are going to run a second free class at 7.45pm, with performances in the middle. So get down and shake your thang!


Anyway, that's all for now!

Happy Teasing
