Some of my creations:
Ruby Rouge is no longer in existence! Well, she is but she decided to make a very tough and heart felt decision and let go of four years of hard work and move on to other things. So this myspace page is a collection of my work over these years.It has been an incredible journey, full of ups and downs but worth every minute. I have had so many surreal moments where I literally cannot believe how lucky I am to do what I do. I have had the opportunity to explore and celebrate the glamour puss in me, have had one of my hats pictured on the front page of the Sun (modelled by a naked Katie Price), learnt about self discipline (somewhat), sold hats to Korea, Sweden, Dubai, Australia..., made things for films and stage productions, was filmed for a Ministry of Burlesque DVD and channel 4, met some unbelievably gorgeous girls and talented performers, found the teacher within myself. I failed to learn how to wear stilettos. And I still prefer a hoody to a corset. But one day when I am old and wrinkly with a hunchback from all the sewing and crafting I will get out the pics of me wearing a latex pencil skirt and corset at Torture Garden and cackle.
I am hoping to continue my workshops so please check out my blog for updates. I am also available to hire for for private workshops e.g hen afternoons or just for a fun afternoon for the hell of it with your mates! I sometimes collaborate with Time for Tease who come dressed as burlesque maids and serve champagne in tea cups and delicious home-made scones with clotted cream and jam whilst I give a lesson in either making and twirling tassels or making feather fascinators. The workshops last about 3 hours and are designed for complete novices as well as those with some experience. Check out some images below:
Here are some videos of my workshops in action! (Scroll to the last section of the channel 4 clip)
