Dear Santa!

Our latest production, "Dear Santa", sold out both shows, with, once again, punters being turned away at the door. Remember to prebook your tickets folks! The star of our show was Rosy Rabbit, who is a Melbourne based performer and costume creator. It was such a pleasure having Rosy in Adelaide for the weekend. Her style of performance is very different from ours at Peaches 'n' Gin, and she brought a lot of glamour and glitz to the show. We find it hard to pull ourselves out of the cheesy and kitsch, so it was fabulous to have some slow, sensual striptease.

Rosy also taught some workshops whilst she was here, which I found very inspiring, and I know the participants did too. Rosy has such a warm and approachable personality, and her workshops were very much open discussions between herself and the students about many aspects of burlesque. I look forward to seeing her again at the Australian Burlesque Festival 2011, which will be announcing it's dates and venues soon! You can keep up with the news on the Festival on their Facebook page, and you can also follow Rosy at her blog.

The other big highlight at "Dear Santa" was seeing our students the Peach Blossoms making their debut performance. They put a lot of hard work into their routine, and I know there were a few pre-show jitters backstage, which they managed to shake as soon as they hit the stage. Sapphire and I are incredibly proud of them, and look forward to seeing them perform in our student showcases, which we will be starting in the new year.

As well as performances by Rosy and the Peach Blossoms, Sapphire and myself premiered some new acts, as well as brought out some old favourites.

Sapphire also performed a saucy act with Joe Spades.

My favourite routine to perform was a duo with Dave Salter. I had so much fun with Dave on stage. Re-enacting the love affair between Mrs Clause and Rudolph was a magical moment.

Of course, we couldn't do it without our regular cast members, Cara Louise and Rohan Watts, who have been with us since the beginning. Their entertainment skills are astounding!

We'd like to thank our official photographer, Darklight Photography, as well as John Rothe Videography for capturing the event on film. A big thankyou also to Emma, Caitlin, Andrew, and all the other Nexus Multicultural Arts staff who are always so supportive and helpful. We can't wait to once again be on the Nexus stage again for our Adelaide Fringe season of "Burlesque Upon A Time". You can expect to see lots of story time sauciness.

Happy teasing!

"No comment" dahling

Well we certainly have been receiving quite a bit of media attention lately! With our upcoming show Dear Santa, we have been creating a stir amongst the press!

Our students, the "Peach Blossoms", as well as myself and Sapphire Snow brought some glitz to the pages of the City Messenger this week, accompanied by a fabulous interview with Sapphire Snow.



The "Peach Blossoms" also graced the pages of Adelaide Confidential, in the Advertiser, accompanied by interviews with our headline artist Rosy Rabbit and Peach Blossom Amity Nightingale.



You can also read the article online here.

And as if that wasn't enough, Sapphire Snow can be found in the next edition of Kryztoff Magazine, and I will be appearing in the Jan/Feb edition of Marie Claire magazine.

If you want to see what all the fuss is about, you better head over to Venuetix and pick up your tickets for Dear Santa!

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!

Luna
