nihongo o hanashimasu ka?
Minasan! Konichiwa! O genki desu ka? In English that roughly translates to “Hello everyone!!! How are you?”. Why all the Japanese you ask? Well I thought I’d share with you some little tidbits and (a sneak preview if you will) of a costume I am working on. When I started performing with Sugar Blue, I knew I wanted to do a Geisha act.

Why Hello There!
Hello my lovelies! Clara Cupcakes here, resident hula hooper, fan thrower and aficionado on all things baked and sugary. I thought I would start my string of postings by introducing you to my delightful namesake and how I came to decide on my bejeweled alter ego. I spent forever trying to decide on what my burlesque name should be. I trawled through old movie starlets, character from... • read more •

The lovely Candice De Ville has written a glowing review of the Sugar Blue Revue, Melbourne Show. “It is not often I wish I was somewhere other than Melbourne, but the incredible Sugar Blue Burlesque troop have made me entirely jealous of the people of Perth. Based over on the west coast of Australia (yes a very long way from here), Sugar Blue are Perth’s... • read more •
