Posted 24th November, 2008 by

Thanks to StyleDiscovery.com.au for the mention in this fab article on Burlesque options for Perth locals. Read the original article here.

1. Watch Sugar Blue Burlesque

I managed to get two seated tickets for the December 28 show. Sugar Blue runs couple of shows every month. If you are not a party animal like me (NOT) and nobody is throwing a burlesque party then this could be your option. Check out their show listings. For this year there are only three shows left.

Wheels & Dollbaby – This place is for girls with deep pockets (or dating guys with deep pockets). The store tag line of ‘Clothes to Snare a Millionaire’ you will expect nothing less than high price tags with plenty of glamour. Perth’s first store opened this year.

3. Hire burlesque outfits

Memory Lane costume hire – Probably the biggest in Perth. They have everything you can imagine when it comes to fancy dress party costumes. Address: 768 Beaufort Street, Mt Lawley WA 6050

Doyles Fancy costume – This is where I got my gear. For those who live north of Perth.

4. Pose as a burlesque doll for a day

 

Contact photographer David WoolleyBy looking at his photos I can see that he knows what it takes to transform a girl into a burlesque doll.  His photos are also available in Sugar Burlesque gallery page.

5. Burlesque accessories at Etsy

This is also for my international readers. There are so many different designs available in etsy and I cannot possibly show you many but here is what I stumbled across some time ago.

Now, don’t tell me that I didn’t show you how.
