I'm back!

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

I'm BACK! Exams are over, I've been on a sweet dancing holiday, and I'm swinging into some really fabulous events and projects. I'm not going to be able to catch you up on everything I've been up to, but I will try and fill you in on some of the gossip!

Firstly, as you can see, I din't die from the stress of exams, but actually came out feeling fairly confident. This is the end of my undergrad and I am one step closer to making dancing and other manner of fabulousness my full time occupation. I celebrated my sweet freedom by taking a dancing trip to Melbourne for the 10th Melbourne Lindy Exchange, which is a huge swing dancing event, where hundreds of swing dance enthusiasts converge on Melbourne for 4 nights. I won't go into too much detail, as I'm hoping to revive my Lindy blog The Lunar Lounge, which has been dead for a while. On the Saturday night though, there was a USO ball at a hangar at Essendon airport, and there were some fabulous costumes. Sapphire and I love a good dress up.



In honour of my excitement for this theme, the last class I taught at the Peaches 'n' Gin Burlesque Academy was a military theme to everyone's favourite Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy by The Andrews Sisters.. Here are some pics to get you saluting!

There are some very exciting things coming up this month, including our next show "Dear Santa", starring burlesque sensation, Rosy Rabbit! I'll be blogging a little more about her later. This show is set to be a cracker (haha! Bring on the cheesy Christmas puns!), with a wide variety of acts.



Rosy Rabbit will also be teaching workshops while she is here, and I am very excited about that! The Adelaide burlesque scene is quite small, and I think an influx of some fresh talent and technique is going to be fabulous. You can find out all the details about the show and the workshops on our website. You can also get more information by email info@peachesngin.com or phoning 0431 949 703 or 0402 273 745. You can buy tickets from Venuetix.

Peaches 'n' Gin also have some other exciting projects and productions coming up, and I also have some individual awesomeness to pursue, but you'll have to wait to hear about it!

Until next time,

Happy teasing!
