Blog

As well as my MySpace blog, I run a dedicated burlesque blog called Shake it, Doll! - http://www.shakeitdoll.com .

Here I post almost daily about upcoming UK burlesque events. Occasionally I post interviews with members of the burlesque scene, links to interesting web-shops and my own reviews of events I have been involved with.
