Well first things first this lady left work on Friday (i mean vanilla work) to Aylesbury to see my best buddy Big S. He and I go way back to my military days….I love Big S. Especially when he cooks for me…Sausage n mash! My favourite. I may not be the classiest of birds but I am true to my roots of british grub! I treated Big S to a display of my sexy night wear…..

Sexy...ready to party and then sleep!

I think he was shocked but didnt care too much. Mates never do. Thankfully. I did go out in party in these bad boys too you know! We also managed to pop over to see the pool I will be using to practise for my underwater burlesque routine/show but I will post more about that another time….rather exciting times.

The next day I flew up the motorway towards Telford to see a good mate of mine Steve B (former singer with the metal band Vert). We headed off to Wolverhampton for the night…and I was shocked. Not only did we get two double JDs n cokes for less than £8 (hey I live in London) but also that two pubs played S Club 7 and Las Ketchup. It was like the last 15 years hadnt happened. Steve and I quickly sunk our drinks and headed off to his favourite metal/rock club The Planet. aaahhh the plusating beats of metal and rock….

Steve B and I about to hit the Wolves....little did we know....

In the Planet club...I think...slightly drunk....

By the time we got our asses home by way of a lovely taxi driver who put up with my singing, Steve’s stupid questions and both our drunken ramblings I was ready for bed….SHATTERED.

By morning though Steve dragged my weary ass off to have a bite to eat…namely a roast dinner! I mean WTF….I was hungover! But dutifully tucked in…only stopping when I realised it wasnt gluten free (wheat allergy!). Damn it….

Anyway I couldnt hang about too much as I had to race off to Northampton to see Luli Blue a lovely mate of mine and fellow burlesquer. I adore this lady…not only is she wonderfully yummy she also owns her own burlesque/belly dancing studio. That night Luli dragged me off to this tiki bar tucked away in Northampton town centre. I would never have guessed it was there if I hadnt had her with me. Its called Hakamou and is lovely! I had a fair few cocktails that night (non alcoholic admittedly) but couldnt have better service or better drinks. Each one I sampled was delicious. Strongly recommend you go. I am definitely going next time…I may even see if I can hire the place for a private party…or shoot.

Sampling cocktails!

Luli took a stealth boob shot!! sneaky

The next morning both of us were up early so sadly we couldnt stay and party the night away….

The bank holiday Monday had to have been the most surreal and oddly enjoyable days of my life so far. Ok so that does sound mushy but its not everyday you get to go over lines for a film with a man none other than the world renown ALAN MOORE!!! and to not only have him but Mitch Jenkins to direct/film it! Mitch and I have worked together with Alan before to create the Dodgem Logic burlesque issues (along with Luli and Darkteaser!). I had an absolute blast and cant wait to see the results though more filming is to take place…I wont tell you anything about the script as thats just not ethical but I am excited.

Luli and I on set.

About to go over my scene

Having the three of us girls in the same room (Darkteaser, Luli and I) was a recipe for chaos and before long we were all howling with laughter and telling rude jokes. Just like old times. Not sure why I dont have a picture of Darkteaser….oh well. She is a gem. I even got to have a longish chat with Mr Moore himself which was wonderful as I was rather nervous of meeting him again…the first time I met him I honestly had no idea who he was. I just thought he was a lovely (albeit very hairy) man with cracking smile and a good sense of wit. Now that I know more about him I was worried I wouldnt be able to string two words together let alone go through scenes with him…damn it. Thankfully his jokes and loveliness put me at ease…that and him saying a certain word over and over again…I wont tell you what it was as it will spoil the film.

Anyway one speeding ticket later, a long drive home and I found myself tucked up in bed ready to sleep. aaahhh randomness rocks my socks.

Ciao ciao!

Eris and I had so much fun.. the videos below show it…. oops

Ultra Clutch Hairspray Advert – Take 2

Ultra Clutch Hairspray Advert – Take 1

It wasnt just the show that had us both in fits of giggles it was the journey to and from the venue. From the heavy fog that made us feel like we had drifted onto the se of some 50s b-movie to the random-ness of the sights around us, We spotted an elephant slide that caused its rider to end up sliding into the motorway (great for kids?!), a cow in a dinner jacket and ikea prints for sale at £60 plus frame (bargain).

But sadly before long we were back on the road heading to Bournemouth….I love Bournemouth as I have lots of friends there. One friend has an adorable daughter called Tempest-Rose (GREAT NAME) who decided she wanted to interview me. I obliged obviously. Results are below:

So I am now at home relaxing and unpacking…

Dark Before The Dawn Act - Will Tudor Photography

So off to de-glitter now…oh BTW I am filming on Monday 30th August in Northampton so watch out for me in about that area over the bank holiday weekend.

I performed on the 30th July at Red Rocks in Birmingham. A great night specialising in bring the best of red haired burlesque beauties together in one show of delightful decadence and debauchery. Along with some old friends (Delilah Dufoe, Dani California and Cherry Fox) I also met the likes of Glorian Gray and Talluah Cherry. Fey Tish certainly knows how to put on a great show and I had a fabulous time. Luckily my red/brown fringe qualified me to perform as a red head otherwise I was about to don a wig…oohh sweaty wig. The night was hilarious and my Gorilla Voodoo You Do act did me proud!

With El Kapitan! With my Gorilla Voodoo You Do make up still on...loser!

I managed to crawl into bed at an unholy hour staying at my lovely chums Ditzy Diamond and The Decandent Gent’s house. We spent the next afternoon messing about in Birmingham where I got over excited by my first tram ride, yellow chips, Hello Kitty sweets, Kermit lunch boxes and comics. I am a simple creature we all know that. I was rather shocked to see how much my mug appeared in shops in Birmingham. I spotted posters of me everywhere advertising the XXtreme show at The Public in West Bromwich. Rather impressed and definately a head swelling moment.

 That evening though Steve Baund (ex-vocalist for the heavy metal band Vert) treated me to see his mates Envy of the State playing a gig in Telford. Though not my usual sort of music they friggin rocked! Even their support acts were fantastic! I forge the name of the band that covered the Lady GaGa song but it was brilliant. I even met up with some old friends including Sapphira who runs Spirit Model Management agency that I am signed to. Nice surprise and as always she was wonderful!

 The rest of the week was spent recovering and planning. I was due to perform at the Peacock Lounge in Huddersfield on the saturday but the travel was going to be difficult so far as the Friday I was scheduled to attend an important hospital appointment for some surgery. So in the end rather guttingly had to cancel. Sunday though I was performing at the Endorse It festival…well I was supposed to be performing but rather last minute was asked to compere as well. I took it in my stride even if some drunken twat stormed my stage! Boy did I yell at her in my feathered headdress and fur stole! the crowd loved the outburst! tee hee! I loved it and hope to do it again next year as well as other fesitvals. I received lots of feedback all good might I add!

But sadly I couldnt stick around too long as I had to get back to London ASAP. You see this performer was off to the island of Jersey. Thats right some one was making me fly to their lovely island to perform. AND BOY DID I HAVE THE BEST TIME EVER! I went with Fifi Fatale who is quite possibly the cutest (mildly crazy) lady ever. We were treated like royalty and loved it. From our lovely appartment to the press photographers, every little thing was wonderful. I cant wait to go back. Big thanks to Laura and Charlene for inviting us out there to perform.

Love

Tee hee my mate Annie's 'inspired' artwork...hahaha!

Anyway I digress…Edinburgh’s Va Va Voom club was fantastic. Not only did I get to meet the lovely Leyla Rose (bump n grinds like no one I have seen before bar Millie Dollar) but also meet up with the familar faces of Vivica Devine and Scarlett Daggers (n boyfriend). I loved it all! Though sadly an old injury flared up and I ended up cutting my foot open rather nastily. Tis all ok…it is healing well.

Us on stage after Va Va Voom!

Before long though I was back on the old train and heading to London. Sad to leave Edinburgh as it was a lovely city. I even got to spend sometime on a roof terrace talking smut with Dee (organiser of Va Va Voom) and her wonderful friends. They made me laugh so much!

I had some down time the week after Edinburgh so put it to good use by throwing myself into rehearsals I was somewhat inspired by Leyla Rose and Scarlett Daggers performances so decided to turn my new act in the making up a few notches. So far its going well and is a real change of direction for me as I am working on keep it classy and traditional and…wait for it….slow! WHAT?! I hear you cry! Khandie being all elegant n stuff never! Well its true I am trying it out. I have even made the costume myself which is rare in itself. The corset was kindly donated but approx 90% of it was made from items I already owned!

The making of the costume

The nearly completed outfit....nearly....

I am working very hard on this act and have drawn on all sorts of inspiration.

10th July saw me in the Birmingham area….and temptation go the better of me…I went and finally got the tattoo I had been planning for ages done. I went to see the same guy who did my first tattoo: Lord Garth Cole-Jones. Sadly he has since left his previous studio but I was quick to find him at tattoodles nearby. After a quick (!) almost painfree two hour session my tattoo was half done…I have to go back for more colouring at  a later date…thinking end of August.

It was great to share the stage with the likes of Red Sarah (huge fan…and I was a complete dork when she met me…all fubbly and what not) and Millie Dollar (love her). But the star of the night for me was the fantastically hysterical Tempest Devyne. She had only just flown back from Arizona so must have been suffering from jet lag though didnt show it. Her act based on jessie from Toy Story was inspired to say the least. I love what she did and the standing ovation from the audience showed it was not just me who was impressed. Well done lassie! I think I will have to fly out to Arizona to see her as soon as I am able to…

Anyway before long I was back in Dorset county and mucking about with fabulous mates: Jason, Mark, Sarah, Tammy and my favourite ickle person Tempest-Rose. She always makes me smile. I took Momma Khisses over to meet the gang as she was visiting for a few days from the land of Oz (Australia not Oz with ruby slippers…mores the pity) We had loads of fun mucking around in the shop. I love the decor and the service you get there. Like I said to Jason…you dont just get a hair cut here…its an experience in itself…smart marketing me thinks…

We all trooped off for the night to Rubyz to loiter at the Birdcage (the downstairs bar) to have an ‘Evening with Kitty’. Tammy even belted out a great number. I was uber proud of her as I had no idea she could sing! We dragged my friend Trefor along for giggles…though I am not sure if he will be back after Kitty took a liking to him. LOL Poor Trefor saw more of Kitty than I think he or we had expected. hahaha I never laughed so hard. The drive home in the rain was awful. Aqua planing is not my strongest sporting atribute.

This Saturday just my best friend in the whole world treated me to Priscella the Musical. From the first note to the last I loved it. I was racked with costume envy and lusting after the cast….yes i know most of them are gay but I can window shop! Go see if you havent! I am planning to go back!

Anyway off I pop. Rehearsals are calling.

Love

PS There are plans afoot for me to sell some signed (standard or personalised) prints of moi. Anyone interested? I have had a few enquiries so thought I had better venture out this way…

I went along as an independent performer though was booked via the sensational vocalist Miss Annie who runs the Kitty Kat Cabaret Club at Rubyz in Bournemouth. I am often in Bournemouth performing there so it was nice to perform with the team again in another venue…and what a venue!!!

Held at Battistinis in Bournemouth at their new show room and what a show room! Lots of sparkly custom built/designed bikes/hotrods and all the accessories you can imagine. I even got to hope on a few bikes to pose n pout. I met some really lovely people and realised that not all bikers are smelly meat heads LOL. Not that I believed that but my mate Neil said that was what most people think when you say biker…I beg to differ. I met some hotties!

Performing there was great as I got a great reaction from the group who roared and hooted like a seasoned lot. It was also lovely as my friends Tammy (aka Dixie Doll), Jason, Mark and Sarah came down…but best of all ickle Tempest Rose came down too! She is adorable and is brilliant which is a testament to the environment Tammy and Jason bring her up in. Mark and Sarah must also have a had in it me thinks.

Some photos are below for you to gawp at…

This is Tempest-Rose and I after the show watching her mommy perform.

Jason Bailey and I

AAHHH Jason and I…BTW he is a great barber in Southbourne.

Kisses with Tempest-Rose. I bought her the Exile top at the show...cute!

She is adorable and I love the whole family greatly!

Performing Rabbit Poison...Poor Luke (the photographer). He loved it really.

Loved it…can you tell…? I love the tease of it all.

With one of the crowd. He was so cute and rather pleased I perched on his knee....bless

It was a really great day. Tempest and I even stopped traffic posing on the back of a truck…oops though the police even waved and honked their horns at us.

Before long it was time to head home…damn it. Bournemouth is so lovely. I should move there.

The rest of week was spent nailing or at least attempting to nail my two new commissioned acts. GGRR they are my bug bear as I am too involved in the finer details right now on the costuming to see the bigger picture but I know they will be great….FINGES CROSSED.

In order to bring smiles back to my face I decided to indulge in a rather stupid routine that made me think of rocking out when I was a teen. My Ode To Glam Rock….here have a sneaky peak at the costuming so far:

Feathers? Check! faux fur? check! Latex? check and check again. HELL YEAH!

But that isnt the only new routine I am doing….as well as the comissioned pieces as of this morning I am now doing my Ode to Being Green based on my hero Kermit The Frog…watch this space…oh dear god…a rabbit, a gorilla and now a frog routine..what ever next…dont answer that actually.

Oh and I have some exciting news as of last night that I will share soon. PROMISE! Its all rather exciting.

I have to say I am impressed with my blogging skills as I am on the train to perform at Va Va Voom in Edinburgh…intermittant internet will not deter me…nor the man failing to be discrete about checking out what I am doing on my laptop…

How pale?! But on the plus side the nosey man has gone to the loo so my journey has momentarily improved...tee hee x

Love

Khandie Khisses

PS Keep smiling and rocking out with your Kermit pants…I have bought mine with me to Edinburgh. Will post picture on my twitter I am sure.

The Burlesk show was amazing and I really felt for the first time in a while that my performance was spot on from a personal view point. I felt that I really connected to my Dark Before The Dawn act….lushy sounding I know but for a performer that is just what you want/need.

I adore this image of my final moments of the Dark Before The Dawn act.

Then it was sploshing hell on the stage at Festival of Sins for Nikita Sablier (my lovely friend). I was dressed in corsetry and flung cakes and trifle about on stage. Lots of fun and VERY messy. 

Then recently it was to Nottingham for Dr Sketchys…awesome venue and crowd there. I was a bit of a dork when I met Charlotte Thomson though having been a fan of her work for sometime I almost couldnt talk to her… Along with a fantastic team of people such as Miss Rain and Scarlett Daggers they put together a great show and one I hope to go back to soon. I have posted some of the artwork drawn of me in my galleries section. Go have a gander.

Right to bed for me I think.

Night all

PS I am selling some items on ebay. So just click the link on the right and it will take you to my ebay items

My first shoot was in the saloon. It was fantastic as there was everything from a card table to a stove and even a piano. I loved it.

I modelled on the bar a far bit which was lovely as it is made of polished oak and has a huge mirror behind. Rather lovely and seductive. Yummy.

Sat on the bar. Not very lady like mind.

But before long I found myself running around bare foot in rather sexy (yeah right) long johns like a mad woman.

The shoot was awesome and the rain didnt seem to dampen anyones mood. But like all great days the end was too soon and I had to travel home. Bubbles and I were shattered so mooched about on the porch of one building whilst we waited on the packing up to be finished.

Bubbles and Khandie

Minimal make up and shattered I am far from the glamour girl I am supposed to be. For images from the shoot please check out my gallery.

Right I best go as my boots are covered in mud from the shoot and desperately need cleaning.

 What have I gotten myself into?! After a brief moment of overzealousness I appear to have found myself entering the ballot for a chance to run in next years London Marathon. I am a fool. I will die I am sure of it. Well I will if I attempt it in my current state of (un)fitness. So I better get some help and possibly some mental help while I am at it…..

This morning saw me undertaking my first marathon training session. AT 5AM!!! What the crazy is that all about. I swear my trainer (let’s call him Snell for reasons known only to me) wanted to make me cry. I ran and ran…shuttle after shuttle….my dignity was lost through my sweat. So much sweat I resembled a pig in cling film by the end of it. Sexy right?

My next session is Friday when Snell has plans for me to run more shuttles but this time with squats at each end! WHAT!? And to think I am paying for this punishment….self enforced torture. I am a pervert and I didn’t even know it. Send help or someone who looks like me but runs better to give me a break.

I will be gutted if I do all this work and then don’t get the ballot to run. GGRRR but hey I may look more svelte…

On a rather comedic note my sports bra is made by a company called Shock Absorber….feels me with mild amusement as I run with no fear of black eyes.

 BYE. MUST. SHOWER.
