Another year over, and what have you done?
It's that time of year when I always start evaluating what I've achieved this year... some things are a bit disappointing, yet others I am extremely happy about! For example, this year I have done no burlesque performing whatsoever. This disappoints me. BUT what I have achieved is the set up of my fitness business, Miss B's Fitness. After all, you can only do so much in a given time. I found I was getting overtired with extra activities, being charitable and helping others out, so I've had to downsize these activities for the sake of my health and business - which I hope to grow during the next year.
During 2012, I hope to be back with a bang on the local burlesque scene. It's been far too long since my last appearance at THE PUBLIC. However I have been making your pasties and tassels in the spare time I DO have.... and one thing that has deighted me this year is that my products have sold quite well in both Burlesque Salon, Birmingham and Lady K's, Bedford. It was quite exciting to find that people liked my products enough to buy them, I don't think I'll ever lose that feeling. I am so fortunate to be doing work which I enjoy, all I need to do now is grow both my businesses to a point where I can say I am financially successful. I don't even want to be rich...... just to make a nice living would be satisfactory.
And I guess thats my christmas wish. Thanks to everyone who has bought my products, visited my website, liked my pages, or read this blog.
Bring on 2012.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all xxx (photo courtesy of Lady K's)

Out shopping for Burlesque Bits and Bobs!
I have promised a shopping blog post for a while now, and although I'm always short of time, here's some photos of some stuff I saw that I'd love to have in my house. Spotted in various shops in Bridgnorth, Shropshire.
Next time I will show you some more lovely stuff that I wish I could afford, as I've spotted some lovely SHOES!!!!!
Short, but sweet xxxx
I spotted this lovely furniture in The Old Mill Antiques Centre and thought it would be perfect for a burlesque bedroom like my spare room I am creating at the moment. My decorating is done, but this small scale furniture would fit perfectly into a small modern house. I love the craquelure finish and the leopard print tall boy!
Then I saw this lovely lamp, but it gave me the idea for customising one that I've already got in my spare room. There are lots of lovely things in this shop and I'd recommend a look round if you are ever in Bridgnorth.
Another shop we visited was called "Gin and Teacups" now this sounds a bit mad, but there were some great things in there which would make great props, modern and vintage mixed really.

Review of the year.....
Well it's hard to believe that it's been practically a whole year since my last official birthday! I say official because like all burlesque performers I have two birthdays, my official one being my real date of birth, and a burlesque birthday - the date of my first performance. Well let's just say I will be one year old on august 22nd! Should I tell you my age on the 10th july? Didn't anyone tell you a lady never tells her age?
I had such a great official birthday last year. It was filled with burlesque. I was eagerly anticipating my first performance, and I even enjoyed a performance by the fabulous Coco Malone at a burlesque show which I attended.
I'm shocked at how much I have done in the last 12 months, becoming a burlesque performer, making lots of tassels and pasties for other wonderful performers, and now I am entering the world of fitness! No wonder it feels like my feet haven't touched the floor. I sometimes wish I had done some of it 20 years ago.....but I'm glad I have tried stuff now before old age and regret set in.
It's time like these that you start to evaluate the future. Where do I go from here? I definitely want to do more performing but for the next 12months, I will also concentrate on combining burlesque with a fitness career where time allows. Life is certainly making a turn for the more exciting......

Miss B's Fitness.....
Some of you know what I have been doing for the past 9 months - no....not having a baby! I have been training to be a fitness instructor! Now that my exams are finished, I can hopefully devote a lot more time to keeping you all informed about my burlesque products, shows and events I have attended - and also my brand new fitness classes!
I will be working in the Wolverhampton area, which is a UK city. My first class will be Easyline Technogym, which is community based work with people who want to get started in fitness for health reasons and maybe don't want to go to a gym. Well, it's going to be exciting for starters!
I have a range of fitness classes in the planning stages which will assist in the strengthening and toning of the muscles used in burlesque - we've all done a bit of fandancing, chair work and bellydance - well my workouts are being designed to help you give your best performance!
Don't worry if you are from another UK city, why not hire me for the day and I can come and train your dance troupe? I am willing to travel within reason.

Distractions......Ready for the digital switchover?
Yes I know I promised a shopping blog, ( that's on it's way)but I've been on a short break from all the burlesque stuff and just wanted to show you my latest distraction! All I can say is my husband is an absolute style genius. The casing is an old 1950's TV which was sourced from a car boot sale. It took a lot of shopping round to find the tank to fit it, but worth the wait in the end.
If you want somewhere funky for your fish to live I am sure we can do something for you!
The fish are an assortment of fantail goldfish, which are coldwater fish, but a heater could easily be installed if we had tropical fish.
What shall I watch tonight?
Coralnation Street,
A PLAICE in the sun,
Reef Encounter.....
