Since a life-changing experience or two, it has been my personal mission to experience as much life has to offer as possible. I’m always banging on to other people about trying new things and that is just what I’ve been doing in the last two years.
So, a few weeks ago I thought I would treat Mr Delights to a Burlesque Night. Through my erotic writing, the burlesque community have always been among my own followers, so it was about time to repay the favour.
After adding the gorgeous Constance Peach to my friends list on facebook, I noted she was a performer of some respect and into my events list came an invite to attend Casa Bellini Burlesque at The People’s Theatre in Heaton, Newcastle.
CONSTANCE PEACH
CASA BELLINI BURLESQUE
As we entered the event, the beautiful performers were mingling amongst the masses – you can imagine the smiles on people’s faces. Even show goers took the opportunity to dress up in something special; basques a plenty and touch of vintage glam. Clearly this becomes an interactive lifestyle with all the effort people had gone too. A hint of stocking top, glam and playful dresses were just a hint of what was to unfold later.
Bells rang, doors opened and we all shuffled into our seats in near darkness. Mr Delights was like an excited puppy, money well spent in the first instance.
First out was the compare for the evening, BARON BARTHOLOMEW BLACK with all the wit of a young Billy Connolly. Long hair, dapper dress and risque banter playing back and forth with the audience.
The show unfolded with CONSTANCE PEACH as opening act, wearing only feathers and strategically placed signs to cover her assets. As each act came on, I was drawn by the imagination of each act and the attention to detail with hair, costumes and make-up. Subtle mixes of coquettish humour, interplay with the audience – it was certainly something I would recommend to anyone, especially couples.
Although one chap was frogmarched home after being too vocal, I suggest you must be respectful to both the performer and your own partner.
Further acts included: Havannah Hurricane Hurly, Princess Pandora, Penny Sweets, Bettina Spankenhaus, Trixie D.Licious, Aurora Borealiss and Honey Wilde. Each act was unique and delighted the audience in turn.
Burlesque has been on the rise for quite some time, the art of tease is such a beautiful form of entertainment, once only the playground for lusting men. Whilst some men frequent lap dancing bars, you do wonder if they are missing a trick. These ladies certainly give you more bang for your buck and are as glamorous as any movie star with more than the bump and grind of a lap dance. The individual acts are beautifully choreographed with style and wit, perfect and deliciously sexy.
Burlesque is an art that should not be missed, Casa Bellini Burlesque offers a great evening of glamour and entertainment. Casa Bellini Burlesque are offering lessons in burlesque and have regular shows in the North East, although I’m sure locally you will be able to seek out similar where you live.
