Bubbles!

It seems a while since I updated you with my mermaid antics. The whole series of posts have been my post popular by far…well except the ones where I post booby snap shots. You can find my other blog posts about my mermaid antics here: Mermaid Mission, Bobbing Along, Fish Out of Waterand Watersports.

Well I am nearing the time when I have to perform it…Jezz who knew it would creep up on me so quick. The actual performance date has been moved more times than I care to recall for various reasons which admittedly has been both a blessing and a curse. It has meant more time to rehearse but also more time to panic.

These last few weeks will be focused on bringing all that I have practised into play and rehearsing like a crazy thing. Last time I was in the pool I was in there for about four hours. My abs (I have some! Who knew!?) and legs hurt so much. Plus four hours in chlorinated water is not good for your skin, hair or eyes.

Trialling the 'Khandie' wig from Annabelle's Wigs. Inspired by my mermaid antics!!!

The costume is now complete and has been finished off with a wonderful wig from Annabelle’s Wigsas all mermaids have fabulous hair. Despite being initially wary of my beautiful curly blonde wig going in the pool it came out looking the same way it started out as once dried! I had incorrectly assumed the chemicals in the water would damage it. Not sure if it wont alter the colour on a dark wig as mine is platinum. I did take care to rinse it out afterwards so perhaps that helped?? Impressed none the less. I will be buying more from Annabelle methinks.

You can find lots of mermaid footage here: www.youtube.com/Khandiek

and one from Immortaleye Photography…there are some bad images in this!hahaha

Pretty in Perversion

2011-01-15T17:19:00.000Z

Oh I do love a bit of kink…and I am not talking about the awkward kink my fringe has that makes it near impossible to roll well. I am talking latex dresses, tight laced corsets, stockings and the odd restrait (from spending too much on the credit card…oh wait thats the wrong sort of restrait). The feel of a new corset is a wonderful thing. So earlier this week I popped over the headquaters of the famous Coffee, Cake and Kink to have a look at whats happening and meet the team. And envitably make a few purchases.

The Coffee, Cake and Kink headquarters is based in Panther House not too far from Chancery Lane. Its a reclaimed warehouse that has retained much of its character with its heavy doors, iron railings and concrete staircases. Turn the lights down a bit and the place could be the set of some 50s horror movie….or a too cool for school RnB music video. Hahaha.

From the moment I arrived I was treated fantastically with a meeting with one of the owners of the company (a darling! He was so cute!! Wonderful glasses). Given a yummy cup of Monmouth coffee I shopped and mooched about their wares. It was all terribly relaxed and friendly. I came away with some presents and ideas bursting out of my head.

In their own words taken from their blog site :

‘Coffee, Cake & Kink is an online shop and community, providing a friendly, non-judgemental environment for self-discovery and the enjoyment and celebration of sexual diversity and creativity. We believe that a broad spectrum of human sexuality consists of a great many consensual, adult sexual behaviours, too few of which are embraced and celebrated by society. We believe all adults have the right to enjoy their bodies and sexualities without guilt, fear of persecution or the attachment of social stigmas. As an online shop, we sell what our name says – excellent coffee, gorgeous cake, and great kinky products and artwork, some of which are exclusive to CCK. We believe in providing great customer service, with personal shoppers and our customer care kinkster team who are on hand to help.’

A wonderful addition to the hub bub of London’s ether even if I do say so myself. They have plans to extend their reach into the commuity by ways of videos and chats. I cant wait to see what they do especially as they *may* be organising a fundraiser event. I will have to attend.
So my purchases…
Well I really was spoilt for choice. They have alsorts of stock and not once did I see comedy dildos or nipple sweets (far more Ann Summers than this place). I ended up making a few purchases of cards by the famous Olivia De Berardinis and some suspender clips from new French imported lingerie company called Maison Close. The cards are beautiful and I already know who I will be sending them too. I settled on a mermaid one as I have a certain costume designer who is making my own mermaid tail who would appreciate it as well as an art deco inspired card. Beautiful colours.

But boy oh boy are the suspender clips stunning. Even the packaging which is very regal purple and gold is wonderful. These suspenders are designed to clip onto lingerie to make it a suspender belt. Perfect! I have worn them already and DING DONG they are rather sexy! I own a lot of delicious underwear that didnt come with a suspender belt and to be honest matching a generic one just wasnt going to cut it. These were perfect!!! GO BUY and such such good value!

They are even engraved with an ornate logo of the company. Vintage sex appeal….
Anyway I have to pop off as I have underwater rehearsals ahead of my mermaid act….
Incidentally anyone else discovered Martini in the Morning radio on iTunes? I have been listening in all afternoon whilst working away. Sounds of nostalgia all the way from California.

Bye Bye 2010. Ding Dong 2011!

2011-01-01T21:42:00.000Z

Hey all,
So thats the end of 2010…there it goes out the window. Normally I would look back and think what would I change…what would I have made better?? But this year I am not going to. Looking back I have realised I have come such a long way in just 12 months. It appears that working my ass off is starting to pay off. Now whilst it may not appear that posing and pouting in rhinestones and corsetry is hardwork… it isnt…well not immediately. That sort of refinery is the end result. The harder you work the brighter the rhinestones sparkle. I believe in a strong work ethic and thus I like to stick to it. So instead of making a resolution this year I am going to carry on as before with just as much determination. With a film and a return to Paris in the next coming months, plus modelling assignments and performances the world isnt my oyster…its my playground.

Look out this year for new merchandise, new acts, reworkings of old ones and some other delightful treats!

Love

Khandie

frozen pancakes. I love cold wheat products..

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

If you could know the future, would you want to know it?

2010-11-03T05:53:00.001Z

I'd rather not. If I did I may change the way I am and end up worse in the long run. Though admittedly knowing the lottery numbers would be nice....

Cocktails....Mocktails

2010-10-25T21:59:00.000+01:00

Rather than bore you by recounting ramblings of my rehearsals ready for my Jersey performances I thought I would start somewhere marvellous. Picture the scene: Khandie with some rather lovely friends (some already known and some just met) sipping cocktails in a room full of randoms. Baths piled high with ice…roof top gardens and free cocktails. There were the sterotypical Shoreditch yuppies, RaRas and lurex clad wannabes. Nestled amongst them all were some delightful characters and whilst the cocktails were drunk and some bad dancing occured I had a great time. I loved the fact it was something new for me to experience. I was rather disappointed though as the invite said scantily clad butlers but all I saw were french maids. Not that they werent pretty to look at…just not honed toned males. Damn it.

With some wonderfuls at the party including Rich (editor of http://www.BleedingCool.com) and the Dep Editor of Essentials magazine. Nice touch taking polaroids I thought.

I am not sure how I managed to get home as I was slightly drunk. I dont like drinking on a school night and actually vaguely remember getting the wrong train. TWICE! Luckily I was ok by morning so managed to pack all my things ready for Jersey.

Aahhh Jersey my favourite place to perform of late. I love how everyone is delightful and eager to meet you. Just wandering about the town you can see how friendly the people are. This time instead of performing with Fifi Fatale like last time I was joined by the beautiful L.A. lovely Lola LaBelle. She is STUNNING and funny and talented and I want to hate her but cant. I love Lola LaBelle. Laura (producer of the show Decadence Nights) took myself, Lola and Paula (a real doll!) to the Buddhabar for scrummy dinner. Well that was after a short stomp about the town finding somewhere open as the whole place seems to shut about 2pm.

getting my slap on ready for the show.

The show was fantastic as always. No surprise there! No sooner had I finished audience members were demanding to know when I was back. A boost to anyones confidence let me tell you. My latest act ‘Twinkle Toes I Aint’ went down a storm…I even managed to dance the charleston on the bar! With a few photos (roulette wheel based and card throwing inspired) lola and I were sipping champagne and dancing like goons. On the whole a brilliant experience and hopefully one I get to repeat…alot.Shattered though Lola and I retired to our apartment and slept like logs until the morning…when my early morning laughter at the film Frankie and Johnnie woke Lola. Oops but I made her a cup of tea to apologise.

With us both still slightly glittery the lovely Charlene Hickey (fabulous artist) took us for a quick lunch before we were shipped off to the airport.

Now home I am gearing up for an epicly exciting weekend…. Friday I get tattooed again by Lord Garth in Tattoodles in Donington. He is finishing off my hand held mirror crying flapper girl and hopefully (fingers crossed) starting on my next part of my sleeve. Then as soon as that is done I am hightailing it down the motorway back to London to get ready to attend the MCM/Eagles Awards…then Saturday sees me at the MCM convention. If you are going…come say hi! Sunday which is supposedly a day of rest will see me floundering about in the pool again rehearsing for the underwater act. Thankfully my marvel of a costume designer has been working hard on my costume. Cant wait to show you.

so ciao as I am tired.

PS I got asked out for a drink by poem…which was quite sweet.

PPS can you say ‘Khandie on tour’…could soon be a reality!

Relaxing....But Always Working

2010-10-25T21:55:00.000+01:00

While a weekend off of performing is meant to be relaxing, I found myself still wokring. With two new acts in development (A new HUGE signature piece and a fun striptease) plus the underwater act still being rehearsed my shopping trip with Big S to Oxford wasnt going to be all pleasure. Admittedly burlesque is a huge pleasure but sometimes even I need a break.

I headed off with Big S early whizzing along the back roads in his new BMW. He likes to show off in it I think. Mind you when he lent it to me to drive to a gig (my car; the normally reliable Tori Spelling on account of the fact its cheap and full of plastic like the real thing, had broken down and was recovering in the garage) I got a little petrol heady about it….

Although I love my best friend so much I nearly threw him out the car when he started to subject me to Frank Sintara over and over again. There is only so much of Old Blue Eyes I can cope with in one journey.

Before long I was sat in a makeup chair with a MAC MUA Lilia ( MUA = Make Up Artist) and together we worked on a new dramatic look for my new routine. Inspired by the new MAC collection Villienous Villiens we came up with a look…and wow!

Excuse the the serious expression!

The make up is just perfect and after a few purchases I left. The rest of the day was spent buying random christmas presents for friends. Ok so I know its early but I spend so much time away from home and travelling that I need to start early.

Back at Big S’s house I spent the rest of the weekend rhinestoning and rehearsing for him to laugh at me. He thinks my new act is rather funny. I wont spoil it too much but its is called ‘Twinkle Toes I aint’….I leave you to ponder what it is all about but think Ginger Rogers with a dash of Charleston and alot of Khandie.

Now back home I am again rehearsing and rhinestoning.

I was sent an image on facebook recently that made me laugh so much I thought I would share it with you. My lovely friend Louise Scott of Lucky LuLu fame (handcrafted accessories…I own and adore the few I have!) posted an image of her beautiful baby Esther posing in a style rather reminscent of a picture I had posted….She is so adorable!!! whilst I on the other hand look like a dork!

Khandie and Esther...I am not sure who wears it better....

Right so a short blog….just not up to much to be honest.

Just to note though if you do see me in the next few days and are alarmed by the bruises to my legs…its because I keep falling over the chair during the rehearsals for my new act. DAMN IT.

Oui oui! C'est magnifique!

2010-10-12T19:27:00.000+01:00

Wow what a weekend. The Paris Burlesque Festival was the most fun I have had in a long time. Ok so the little hiccup at the start (being left at the train station because my driver was stuck elsewhere) did worry me a little bit as to how it was going to turn out…but the moment I bundled out of the taxi (of which the festival orgainsers immediately paid for!) I was treated with respect, dignity and ensured that my every whim was catered for. The whole event was fabulously wonderful.

Arriving in Paris also meant I got to see an old performer/friend of mine who goes by the name of Ruby Jubilee. She is now living in Paris as an au pair. I have missed her red spiral curls on the circuit and hope she comes back soon. She is a real character and a definite assest to any party as she proved later on in the evening with her distinctive dad dancing style (matched only by Darkteaser and Anne Thropy in the craziness of their Madness sing-a-long session)

My main point of contact was Charlotte and I had yet to meet her but no sooner had I arrived a rather frantic lady (surprised to find she was from England) came running over and threw her arms around me apologizing for the driver not getting to me. She was just like a little doll who was so apologetic there was no way I could be annoyed(not that I was as some lovely hunky French policemen showed me to the taxi rank earlier).

The real shocker for me was when one of my all time favourite performers came over to meet me: Kitten De Ville. I mean this woman is a legend in my books. Her bumps and grinds are the best I have EVER seen! Sadly she caught me mid-dressing and in a rush so I posed with no makeup on or my hair done. I looked a state but who cares. I MET KITTEN DE VILLE. I probably came off as a dork to her but I don’t care as I spoke to her! Whoop.

I also met the art deco doll of UK burlesque Billie Rae. The girl reminds me so much of the Angelique Houtkamp drawings that my tattoos are inspired by (incidentally I am getting a new one on 29th Oct). Her huge bambi like eyes were accentuated by her false eyelashes. I was gutted not to be able to catch her performance considering I had once driven from Southampton to Derby to see her perform once having heard such great things about her. Her boyfriend was such a sweetheart; I could imagine him in safari gear and an elephant gun running around (he has an sense of old England about him.)

Finally I met the wonderful French fancy herself: Miss Anne Thropy. She was my host for my stay in Paris and boy did she live up to it. Already staying with Anne was the truly wonderful LouLou D’Vile. I have to admit for someone clearly so pretty she has no idea how much she brings the room to a standstill. Plus she is crazy to hang out with. LOVE LOVE LOVE her.

Before I had time to catch my breath though I was thrust on stage to a rapturous applause and the crowd, the host (a fantastic Amazonian woman called Juliette Dragon no less) welcomed me like their own. I loved it. Hurry Hurry my showgirl number went down well and even received the compliment of me being called Queen of Tasseling due to my upside down/in a crab tassel twirling…..Rather pleased to receive such a compliment. I ran off stage to more applause.

Of the acts I go to see at that first show (Revue De Paris) each one was fantastic. Two that really stood out for me was the hula hooper who removed garments whilst hula hooping (EVEN TASSELING!!!!) and also the closing act who’s costume removal was very impressive. Her finale with the fire was mesmerizing and well worth waiting for. She had fantastic hair to shaped into chocolate coloured finger waves. It was only later I learnt it was a wig and she was actually a blonde!!!

Before I had time to think though I had to get ready for the next show the Les Nuit Fatales which was in the lower basement area….Now the thought of performing in a basement area conjured up images in my mind of a dark dank hovel but actually it was a great space with lots of lights and room.

The crowd once again were magnificent and cheered and whooped. Dark Before The Dawn seemed a real pleaser. Chuffed I happily collapsed backstage for a well deserved rest. But then I had Anne and LouLou dragging me off to dance and dance we did.

When we went back upstairs we were able to watch the rest of the acts in the basement area perform on the big screen. (a great idea!!!) so whilst sipping (more guzzling mojitos) Philly Cara Mel, Starla Haze (didn’t perform but came to see us all), Darkteaser, Anne Thropy, LouLou D’Vile etc were all partying hard and posing for photos upstairs. It was only then that I realized that the actual stage I had first performed on was designed like a big top with stripes on the walls and ceiling plus oodles of tigers/cages/ lions adorning the wall. Even the odd photo (rather good photo might I add) of a local photographer’s pinup work. I even spotted the famous Dirty Martini’s image up there. YUMMY!

I found Dirty Martini!

The rest of the night consisted of partying and meeting lots of new people. It was wonderful when audience members came up to congratulate me and the other performers on our acts and I loved how many went out of their way to do this. Talk about an ego trip! Hahaha. Amongst the crowd was the cutie pie Brooklyn Baby Doll, Miss Glitter Painkiller and lots of other performers from the festival who stayed on to party. The night went on well into the morning and involved abusing a sleeping acrobat…and a trip to McDonalds with Franny that nearly saw us kicked out…who knew they had such overzealous security in Parisian McDonalds at 8am…plus they don’t serve breakfast! Having a burger (minus the bun as wheat intolerant) was not the best breakfast I have had and nor do I recommend it.

Antics backstage with a sleeping Herve...oops never sleep at the festival! LOL

After lugging my massive coffin (suitcase) half way across Paris and up millions (ok maybe not that much) of stairs I crashed into bed at Anne’s glamorous apartment with LouLou at about 9am….oh how rock n roll.

By 5pm the next day though we were all back at the venue for the Burlesque Bazaar to see what was for sale. I purchased a necklace in the shape of lips…naturally. We partied somewhat with the help of more mojitos at the performers party but cried off early as we were shattered and went for a meal with Anne’s boyfriend at a restaurant in the Pigalle. YUMMY food!!

After a feeble attempt to watch Kung Fun Panda we all went to bed early…ish about 1am.

The next morning both LouLou and I departed Paris and headed back to our respective homes….both sad to be leaving. Though lots of awesome memories and plans to return.

Now I am home I determined to crack on with my burlesque more than ever! I am working hard in preparation for my show in Jersey this weekend…3 acts to be performed. BRING IT ON!

Paris Prep? Done!

2010-10-08T23:12:00.001+01:00

Ok so a real short blog post to say I am all packed for Paris FINALLY. I have packed and repacked that suitcase so many times. Everything including the stars fit in which is a wonder in itself given that they are HUGE! I have rhinestoned anything missing some and have triple checked all costuming! I am ready!

The coffin aka my giant suitcase. It in fact fits me and Tempest-Rose inside it together!

So I am off to bed before these nerves kick in and ruin it all for me. I am not sure when i post next....I have a lovely mate housesitting for me whilst I am away as I am worried one of my beloved fish is sick....I am a loser I know but I love my fish though admittedly not enough to cancel my trip to Paris for it...oops.

I am sad that I am not sharing this whole experience with someone but I know that I have mates already at the festival so they will more than make up for it. I am nervous about venturing into Paris on my own....I have been before but still...I speak all of 4ish words of French which makes me feel incredibly ignorant.

Right to bed! Night night darlings!

P.S. SQUEAL! i am so excited I wonder if I will manage to sleep???

Gack, Goon and Gross

2010-10-08T22:30:00.001+01:00

So the last few days have not gone to plan to say the least. With the Paris Burlesque Festival mere days away I was hoping the run up to it would be smooth and thus help me to relax (I am so excited to see Anne Thropy and Kitten DeVille again!) but it seemed that nature was conspiring against me and I ended up coming down with some filthy evil cold/cough thing that was determined to make my life hell on Earth for a while.

Once again I was in Bournemouth over the weekend having decided to take a break from manic performing/rehearsing/general craziness and for once attend a show. I found myself too sick to participate in much at the show so spent much of time passed out on the floor of Andy Breaks (of www.customemoterbikeclothing.com) shop floor. The event was the first of Battistinis Revival nights and surrounded by hot rods, vintage clad audience members and the smell of leather I would normally be in heaven if it wasn’t for the cold/flu/devil thing. With the Kitty Kat Kittens performing and Light n Shade singing plus Howard from the Regular Joes Annie and the Battistinis crowd put on a good show with only a few hiccups.

Battistinis Revival Night...more to come!

It was a lovely chance to catch up with my old friends the Pandora’s Choice team who were selling some rather lovely lingerie. I have my eye on some seamless panties and gown….fingers crossed I can get them soon as they are to die for.

As well as the usual Kitty Kat Kittens performing they had invited my lovely friend Miss Anticipation to perform (my sexy Elvis impersonator!). She went down a storm which is something that always happens. I whooped and cheered the best my silly croaky voice would allow.

Another lovely surprise was to see my friend and ex-BlueBelle Jane White…she came back to perform with the kittens after leaving the area some months ago. That woman has legs and rhythm to die for and I often tell her!!!

I sadly didnt take any photos as I was too poorly to really pay much attention. I just pootered about and occasionally danced. Annie was on her fabulous form as usual and her singing did help lift my woeful mood. I love Annie she is as cute as a button with a voice that is just as delightful as she is.

One highlight of the night was Howard singing acapella when the sound system packed up. Hands clapped and people cheered him on. A real trooper who is a dishy mix of Cary Grant and Michael Buble but without the drama.

Oh and KK even got to dance with a rather dashing gentleman…ok so we spent much of the dance pratting around but considering how sick I was feeling I had a blast.

I am thinking of going to the next one as I do like it there…plans are even afoot for me to do a photoshoot there soon…oh I say! Plus being loaned a few swish hot rods to play about on.

The Sunday was spent with me sniffing much and feeling generally miserable. Though one bright moment was taking my beloved Tempest-Rose on Boscombe beach for some fresh air. I do love my Auntie KK duties. Watching her giggle and chase the sea foam made me feel better….

Tempest-Rose on Boscombe Beach!

Infectious giggles!

She played with the sea foam and laughed with me at the surfers attempting to wade out…but the wind picked up and I was starting to feel rough again so we trooped off home….well back to Christchurch.

Sickly pale and putting on a brave face

Tempest and I! Aaahhh

Before long I had to be back in London…where the cold took a more sinister turn that resulted in me being in hospital for a chest scan and being perscribed two lots of antibiotics after the first course had no effect. I am however happy to report I am well on the road to recovery and eagerly waiting to get on that Eurostar to Paris to perform. I am also excited to see Ruby Jubilee/Catherine Pearson who now lives in Paris…I am bringing her Bisto chicken gravy granules….apparently she ‘needs’ them. I adore her. Will post lots of images of my Parisian adventures as soon as I can.

Love
KK

Relaxing....sort of

2010-09-27T22:43:00.000+01:00

Despite my every intetion of having a relaxing week it seemed it was simply not be. I worked hard all week only to start to feel poorly towards the end of the week. A sign of things to come. One bright perk was a huge bouquet of flowers being delivered to my home. They were divine and really made a somewhat hard week so much more better. Sadly I cant thank the person who sent them in person as they failed to leave a card. So to my mystery flower sender: thank you so much for making the KK smile.

I decided to stay home on Friday night instead of partying with my friends. Not only was I scheduled for a photoshoot on Saturday in Southbourne but also I felt queasy. An early bedtime and some OTT vitamin C overdosing I woke up feeling a little better. A quick trip (nearly 2 hours...if thats quick) down to Southbourne and before I knew it I was plonked in a sit with make up being applied and my lovely friend Julie Arthur setting up her camera equipment. The fabulous location was found via a location scout/photographer/videographer/general awesome guy Mark Van Klaveren Harris. He wons/runs 612media. I will be working with him again soon...watch this space.

So with lots of make up/costuming/laughter both Mark and Julie produced some amazing images,

The makeup was done by a talented lady called Sarah Jenkins and she is a real doll. Her ideas for our next shoot are awesome....looking forward to it!

There are more images but I didnt want to overdo it all. These are for my new promo material...well these and a few more shoots I have planned.

Sadly though my early night had not stopped me feel ill and as the night drew in so did the sickness. Despite a lovely chinese with the team and friends I was on my way to the land of flu symptoms.

The next morning I had plans to head off to see my friend Garnet and meet his fabulous horse Snippy. What a horse. So pretty and despite my reservations about being scared he was gentle.

Khandie and Snippy!

Shattered I still managed to pop off and see some more mates. I had a rough n tumble with the lovely Chloe (one of my favourite pooches...after Dixie, Kewpie, Psycho (MiMi) Alice and Tink) before heading back to the London. Gutted to have to head back as Bournemouth has the ability to lift my mood and make me feel better instantly. London holds some good memories for me but sadly I feel those memories arent going to be enough to keep me here for much longer. Oh I am in a reflective mood.

Anyway before I go I would like to say a special thanks to Nick Webster and Dame Kitty (of Rubyz in Bournemouth) for my special shoutout/dedication on http://www.DJRadio.co.uk. You guys are lovely. Thank you so much! The radio station has been taken over by Kitty for the night and every Monday night. I do love her dirty humour.

Go listen!

Another thank you should go to Mark and Brian for their help on Friday in a personal matter who showed me that laughter can cure so much.

Next week sees me rehearsing for Paris!!!!! I am so excited...two shows in the festival to perform at!

Love

Boys and Science

2010-09-19T16:08:00.000+01:00

God I realised I had finished my blog by getting ready for Teasy Pleasy, promising you photos and and post about it then clean forgot. Oops…Not like there is anyone to tell me off.

So Teasy Pleasy was a good night all round. A few sound hiccups at the start didnt distract too much from the night. Domino Burlesk was every bit as delightful as I remembered her to be as was Glory Pearl, Rasberry Ripples and the other performers. One again Miss Anticipation bought members of the audience to their feet with cheers for her act. God that girl is strong. She did pressups, flexs and all sorts! Adorable! The only downside for the night was that one of the stall holders didnt have Bordello leopard print shoes in my size! Gutted! By the way HINT HINT to anyone who wants to buy me something to make me smile. In fact any of their shoes would be good. I have been a good girl all year…sort off.

Copyright Adam Lambert Me dancing with Nicole (one half of Teasy Pleasy) Oh there is Miss Anticipation too!

I spent the rest of the evening dancing with mates to the Whip Crackin Daddies…rather dishy trio even if I do say so. The whole place danced along to them and they certainly have stage presence. The double bass player had girls swooning over him though admittedly Jim Jeffries was the pinup of the group. His pretty boy looks grabbed all the girls attention. A fair few ladies were overheard gushing over him….The drummer got the girls squealing when he jumped into the audience to play. I safely retreated to the bar to watch the carnage of women and dancing commence. Awesome times to say the least. A late night and a stagger home with my best mate Big S that got me home so late it was disgraceful. Big S you have alot to answer for!! Just like old times then.

Photography by Andrew Meaton. Paul and Jim...aahhh

The next day was spent nursing a hangover and being dragged reluctantly out of my bed at Dixie Doll’s house to head off to shop…I crashed and burned with Tempest-Rose on the grass in the sun….

With Tempest-Rose crashing out in the sunshine in protest of my hangover...damn it

I even managed to pick up a new jacket for me to take to Paris for my show out there in October…oh how I love it. Its green wool with leopard print cuffs and collar. Made by the delicious brand Aquacustum…spolit? me? yes! I did prat around in a few vintage shops as well. I managed to find a real treasure trove of a shop. When I arrived a new shipment of vintage French lingerie had just arrived. WOW the whole lot were in perfect condition and some unworn.

Pratting around in Clobber the vintage shop!

30s hat....that reminds me of Dr Suess Cat in the Hat. Its huge!!! WTF

If you are ever near Bournemouth/Boscombe/Southbourne I suggest you visit Clobber. Its a great shop and I am going back to mooch some more as soon as I get back that way. I have my eye on some 40s dresses and some cowboy boots.

The rest of the week revolved around rehearsals ready for the weekend show at The British Science Festival and a radio interview (more to be disclosed soon). I have to say a pretty subdued week all in all…though alot spent listening to the Whip Crackin Daddies album Paul gave me. ‘Fire’ is my favourite though oddly reminds me of the old Rawhide theme song…oops did I say that?! :p I noticed a few of my mates have liked it and have downloaded it off itunes….

So last night saw me performing at the British Science Festival and I have to say I had a brilliant time. I was put up in a very nice hotel with flowers delivered and wine (nice!!!) and was treated impeccably. The show went really well…my Gorilla act certainly raised a few laughs and Professor No No had them singing and dancing with me. Fabulous so a special shout out to all at Aston University students who attended and to Mel Spencer for organising it for me to be there. MWAH! I would like to thank the free styling rapper who made a rap about me but I never got his name other than he was Canadian (from Vancover) and loved science.

Loving the poster...I quite fancy that man....Oh dear god help!

POSER! Waiting for the call to get to the stage...lounging in my hotel room on campus!

Almost ready to be Professor No No....

A rather surreal moment was dancing at the end of the night only to realise I was surrounded by people in white lab coats…it felt all too horror movie waiting to happen for me so moonwalked (yes moonwalked! *SHAME*) out of the circle and ran for cover at the bar.

Pretty much spending much of today (Sunday) catching up and rehearsing for my next shows. I have glitter all over me but then thats nothing new. Off to listen to some Big T Tyler…I use some of his music in my acts. Great catchy beats I found.
Right ciao ciao!

One Bank Holiday, Two Nights out,Three Cities (ish), One Speeding Ticket and A Film

2010-09-01T21:56:00.002+01:00

So you can guess from the title of this blog I have been a manic lady once again…nothing out the ordinary there then??!! Well you would be wrong as I dont make it a habit to get speeding tickets. Damn my heavy foot and damn the rather dishy policeman who caught me with his snazzy camera on my way home from Northampton. I will put my hands up and say SORRY….not that it will stop me getting the fine and points. GRIM.

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!

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!

Devon Knows Why They Make It So Creamy

2010-08-22T14:56:00.004+01:00

Seeing as I seem to have left it sometime before I updated this blog I thought what the hell lets push the boat out and post today…today being the day I managed to finish hauling my arse from London to Bournemouth to Exeter to Torquay to Bournemouth to London….an epic journey. I was occupied most of the way by Eris Eveiller who was a wonderful companion especially as she is just as crazy as me! We were both booked to perform at the fantastic Kinky & Quirky Burlesque n Boogie in Exeter. This show is run by the multi-talented husband and wife duo Sarah and Mark Bell. I have performed for this gorgeous couple a number of times and have loved all of the shows. I was also pleased to be back in the town of my birth Exeter. Though this show as at a new venue I knew it was going to be a friggin cracking time…after all of Kinky and Quirky are involved it always is. Eris and myself shared the stage with the fantastic VENUS NOIR! I was so impressed with her clown act I couldn’t wait for her to come off stage to congratulate her! I loved the giant horse and the ending! I wont spoil it but you should go see her if you are able to!

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…

If you could eat dinner with any person, dead or alive, who would it be and where would you go?

2010-07-23T11:30:00.001+01:00

I would have dinner (wheatfree) with Charlie Chaplin, Casanova, Anthony Hopkins and Stephen Moyer! It will be like a huge stew of loving! Sorry but they are all interesting for various reasons for me. As for where we would go I am thinking Volupte Lounge for good music, fine dancers and lovely grub.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

To the Top n Tail of Britain

2010-07-21T19:52:00.000+01:00

Good grief I swear I have been up and down this island known as the UK more times than I care to remember. Why cant trains do air miles…ok something similar…I’d have enough to go half way round the world by now. Well probably only Skegness but you know that cant be bad…well it depends on what you think of good old Skeggy really.

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…

Leather, Latex and Lashings of Love.

2010-07-03T13:54:00.001+01:00

So its has been another manic week or so in the world of Khandie Khisses. I have been once again to my home from home Bournemouth for a motorbike showroom open day. Thats right Khandie was let loose in a room with hundreds of thousands of pounds of custom created bikes and hot rods. I wasnt sure if these people were crazy or had no idea who they had invited down?

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 hand 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….FINGERS 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.

Busy As A Bee

2010-06-20T22:54:00.000+01:00

God almighty has it really been that long since I last posted? Eek so much has happened since then. I have been at Dr Sketchys in Nottingham, performed at Burlesk in Hastings, modelled for Nikita Sablier at Festival of Sins, and basically been up and down to Bournemouth more times than I care to remember. So as you can see I have been rather busy of late.

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
KK

Do you enjoy causing a room full of boners when you perform? You certainly got me going lol.

2010-06-20T19:53:00.001+01:00

um no i dont. I just enjoy my performance. My intention is not to turn you on.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

I wouldn't say people think of you as "judgemental". ....half right, and we don't mean the 'judge' part =P

2010-06-13T22:56:00.001+01:00

I like that I am regarded as mental. Though my energy comes from my nerves. I like to be my manic self but always professional. xxx

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

Are you always judgemental or just when your friends decide to cause trouble?

2010-06-13T22:48:00.001+01:00

I try not to judge but sometimes I admit that it is hard not to when so many people have tried to screw me other with lies, bitching and general unpleasantness. To be honest if you judge before you know someone I have found I usually have the initial wrong impression. I like to wait and form my opinions over time. My friends can cause trouble and some have in the past. I have had 'words' with some friends and hope they have learnt their lessons. Good question BTW though I hope I am not thought as 'judgemental'.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

What are your views on Northampton?

2010-06-13T09:46:00.001+01:00

i do love it there. Its a sort of eclectic mix of people which creates a very varied and creative atmosphere. I love the Fishmarket because not only does it have the best tea shop (the Nook) but also they hold AWESOME parties. Plus Northmapton is home to Alan Moore n Mel...plus greats like my friends the Thorpe family.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

Favourite venue in which you've ever performed?

2010-06-11T10:44:00.001+01:00

far too many to choose from. its more a case of which audience has been the most memorable and believe me there have been many memories!

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

What would you cook if you were on Come Dine with Me?

2010-06-07T19:09:00.001+01:00

ooohhh Bake Bean Island...its mash potato with beans round the outside and sausages stuck in it like palm trees. BTW I cant cook. Oh and I would attempt to make chocolate guiness cake for after.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

Can I be your pet? I've already got the collar!

2010-06-06T19:09:00.001+01:00

no its ok I only keep fish

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

How far would you go in your modelling? For instance would you do full frontal nude work or glamour stuff?

2010-06-05T17:58:00.001+01:00

I do art nude work only. Glamour isnt really for me as in FHM glamour.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

Yee Har

2010-05-31T20:29:00.000+01:00

Ok so modelling is something I do quite regularly. I do love it and not just from a vainity side of things. Its also the people you meet and the locations you end up in. Recently I was taken to a location that even I wasnt quite prepared for. A replica town set in the Wild West. From the saloon to the barbers to the livery each building both inside and out was created with attention to detail. I had to have a run around nosing around all the buildings before I could even think about hair and make up.
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.

View from the upstairs.

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.

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.
Love

if you could travel back in time, which historical figure would you want to meet and why?

2010-05-31T18:31:00.001+01:00

I would travel back and meet Jesus to see if all that was in the bible was true about him. If he didnt exist then I would go back and see my grandma as a girl to see if she was just a crazy as she was at the time she died then.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

NO KHANDIE STEP AWAY FROM THE BALLOT!

2010-05-05T08:51:00.000+01:00

And I am not refering to up coming elections which by the way GO VOTE!

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.

Gosh!

2010-04-27T14:28:00.001+01:00

Can you believe it? I mean one minute the bookings are coming in slow and now its manic! what is going on.

Not that I am complaing.

I guess those of you on the scene have seen the rather negative energy that is surrounding burlesque at the moment. So to that vile trolls out there causing it: POKE OFF PIE FACES! Hardly mature I will grant you but if I get one more email telling me how so and so is talking behind my back about me or how such and such bitched about me I will scream.

Right I had better go. Only a short post today. Will post more. By the way check out my new website and let me know what ya'll htink ok.

2010-04-20T14:37:00.000+01:00

Ok so the site is finally live! It even has its own blog whoop!

So please pop over there and let me know what ya'll think.

http://www.KhandieKhisses.com

I am not sure if I will keep this blog up and running as my website has one also though I *may* be able to link the two so the info is posted to both...

Anyway

This is all well and good, but where's Barry Chuckle eh?

Good grief I have been rather poor at blogging havent I?!

Well much has been happening. And I mean MUCH! From my very recent email asking me to lend my image to a new iPhone app (yet undecided on that one personally - more an android girl) to my plans to New York and Canada. Plus my new website is soon to be up and running. I may even have to close this blog and divert you all to my new site. It should be going live rather soon. Want to see a sneaky pic?

Isnt it wonderful? and far from finished. It is being made by a personal friend of mine called Matt Harvey. He is a talented lovely! I think I may have challenged him on this one but like a real trooper he rose to the occasion and has created something better than I could imagine! As well as webdesigner he is a talented artist. I love him...and and his missus.

So when this site goes live once a few techincal things have been sorted be sure to check it out!

Anyway so I am manic right now. I have sorted myself a small dance/rehearsal studio to use plus decided to rework the rabbit poison act. To be honest the whole 'oh-look-let-me-drink-that-and-i-will-remove-my-costume-thing' is overdoen now and on the words of a lovely Joe Black I am attempting to make the act more comedic with audience interaction that bit more without the need to leap on to their tables...which is something I need to suppress as sometimes I think it can make people see me as a crazy loon and only capable of doing that one style. Talking of styles I am putting together two new routines though admittedly one at a time...a new fan dance to some stunning music that most ladies will recognise the moment they hear it. I have already used it a number of years ago but want to bring the act back out of retirement with a new costume and a fresh attitude. The second routine will take much longer to perfect as the corset alone (another Vintage Lynndy Loo one off creation) has to be perfect so I can work it into the act... Think Mulan and you are almost there but still off the mark!

Right so ontop of all that I have travels to Canada and NYC to arrange.

AAAHH

So off I pop and promise to make more of an effort to keep in touch. For those you cant wait for the blog posts...why not join me on twitter? Click here to add me! I tend to twitter fairly often with added bonus images of tat every now and again.

Love

me!

Yorkshire And The Science

2010-04-12T21:52:00.002+01:00

So after much formspring crap (see the questions below) I have decided to post a wee bloggy bit about my travels to Yorkshire and science museum antics.

Yorkshire was fantastic and proved to be a great location for me to practise my photography. Whitby proved to be very inspiring. From the ruined abbey, the clifftop graveyard to the crowds of shant singers and goths. Each step I took about the place made me want to whip out my camera (Nikon D90) and capture it all.

The whole place seems to be a crazy mixture of victorian gothic structures to tudor housing and cottages...juxtapositioned by the nasty 70s council tower blocks that almost ruined the landscape with the rolling moors behind. The abbey and the nearby graveyard on the cliff side is wonderful and rather sad. You can see why Bram Stoker set some of his world famous novel Dracula here. The graveyard is full of old extremely ornate grave stones with some sadly too weathered to read. What made it all the more sad was that tour groups were running and climbing over these gaves as though they were mere playthings or obstacles in a local play park. The concept that a few feet below them lay the remains of someones loved one was lost on most of them.

I have posted a few images below for you. Not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but I love them. As always images are copyright of ME! DONT STEAL! Like you would. LOL

my image of the abbey. Not edited though.

slightly edited.

Edited view of the back of the ruined abby. I love the flock of birds flying over.

Street performer. This guy was fantastic. He's traditional form of entertainiment included singing old sea shanties and working the puppet. I took alot of images of him that I have yet to edit. He really was a great subject to take images of.

Whitby over Easter held a scooter festival so the whole down was swarming with Mods. Fantastic change to the goths who usually own the town. I took some shoddy (sorry) images of a a few Mods. Though they look scary and slightly thug-ish they were lovely and adorably patient of me whilst I snapped away at them.

I was happy to return home though despite how relaxing Yorkshire was.

The following week saw me spending an evening at the Science Museum for one of their 'Lates' nights. This is where the museum (V&A also does it) stays open late on evening for an adult only affair with alcohol, lectures and music. I had a great time swanning about the joint.

You really should go if you get the chance. I did take some photos but cant remember where I put the SD card. Will hunt it down.

Love

PS the redesign of my website is going really well and it is almost ready to relaunch it. Will give you all a shout out when its ready.

If I was very tender, would you let me kiss you'd boobies?

2010-04-08T09:19:00.001+01:00

um...how does NO sound? Thanks for the offer but not for me.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

what do you make of all these award type poll thingys... does it bother you not bieng nominated and having all of the web canvassing for votes or are you nominated often and have to hassle all your friends to vote for you . . . what do you make of it all?

2010-04-06T21:43:00.001+01:00

I have been nominated for one poll and came 29th (though joint) in the top 50 burlesque stars of 2009 by a 21cp poll. To be honest I often feel that polls are won by those that have the most mates though this isnt always the case.

I am alittle dishearten when not placed but I guess it shows how much more work I need to do to get fore front in peoples minds. I will admit that I dont like hasseling people to vote for me and rather just show the competition than 'blackmail' people into voting.

What is your favourite pose to strike when modelling?

2010-04-06T09:24:00.001+01:00

Do you believe in karma?

2010-04-06T09:23:00.001+01:00

yes! Bloody hell yes! I recent nasty person got karma biting them in the arse. Though I felt awful and offered to help out. FOOL!

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

Do you think if a performer is willing to undercut you [and you know this for fact] said performer is also willing to undercut others? Do you think people should be made aware of this since it could potentially cost them a paycheck? How would you proceed?

2010-04-04T19:56:00.001+01:00

I am not sure how to proceed. Could it be that this performer believed they aren't worth the money you are? Perhaps simply telling them what they are doing in case they are unaware. I personally would not be sure what to do.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

Would you ever has breast enlargement surgery?

If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be and why?

2010-04-01T18:58:00.001+01:00

I'd stop giving handouts to people just because they left school and can't get a job etc. I'd make them go back to school or volunteer in order to get their benefits. Give them some self pride and give back to those who are helping them.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

Do you ever get tired of being the crazy life and soul of the party type? Do you ever switch off and just be normal, without having to be "kooky" or odd? Is the craziness a character you play, or are you really like that all the time?

2010-04-01T18:55:00.001+01:00

I am who I am most of the time unless I am grumpy and have to fake my happy a bit. Though the real smiles take over quick enough. I like who I am but yes I do have quieter times as do we all. X

Quickie

2010-04-01T12:29:00.004+01:00

Ok so perhaps calling this post a quickie isn't appropriate or have I spent too much time in the company of smutty boys. Those pesky boys. After my whirlwind dash around the south of England last weekend, I was somewhat delighted that this weekend just gone was quieter though none the less lovely.

My dear friend and fabulous costume designer Lucy (of Burldoir fame) got married on the Saturday and I was invited along to celebrate. I cried. A lot. The whole 1930 styling of the affair was beautiful though the same can't said for my dancing....well. I blame the bride and Sarah and Ana....and Simon...and everyone else but me! The whole affair was stunning and Lucy and Simon are so well suited! So yummy together!

My lovely dress from Coast...awesome sales assistant saved this for me!!

Ignore my grumpy face...it had just started to rain and my curls were bound to fall out! GGRR

I may have looked glamorous then but in the morning was another story after I 'found' the hotel bar...

Ever the rock star...why i went to bed with my Nikon D90 is a mystery. The sun glasses are not however.

I am always the dork though...

But the glamour is my middle name...NOT!

I would post some dance photos of my awesome dancing skills but no. They are awful. Robot anyone? I kid not. It was carnage. Beautiful carnage but carnage none the less.

With the stunning Ana and Charlene of the stunning WWW.CHARLENEHICKEY.COM

On the Sunday I popped into Oxford to pooter about the place. If you havent been you really should. I ate lovely icecream by the river and mooched about the science museum. They had a cute steampunk exhibit on created by a local school. I reallly love Oxford as the building are breathtaking creations of engineering.

Talking about science museums...I went last night to one of those 'Lates' the museums in London often do. A sort of wander about the science museum in the evening with alcohol and NO KIDS! Whoo Hoo!

I will post more on that later but if you get a chance to go....GO they are hilarious and good fun.

This bank holiday weekend sees me off to Yorkshire....

So I had better go as I have packing to do...damn me for leaving it to the last minute!

Sneaky bad dancing picture with Ana!

Apologies for going all morose on you, but if you had to pick three songs to be played at your funeral, what they be?

2010-03-29T21:10:00.001+01:00

Who let the dogs out...to make my mom laugh...if she outlives me...wait I have no plans to kill her!

um...Okey Kokey to make my mates laugh and dance

and finally Driftwood by Travis because it means alot to my best friend Mikey. Its our song!

2010-03-29T21:08:00.001+01:00

Kiss Audrey, marry Dita and avoid Marilyn but onyl because I would be tempted to hack off her face and wear it...she was so pretty! Well probably not now considering she has been dead a few years....but you get my point!

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

How do you want to be remembered by the world?

2010-03-29T13:52:00.001+01:00

As the crazy lady who made people smile and was actually a nice person. If remembered at all that is.

If you went on Masterchef, what would your signature dish, and would you get some naughty cleavage on the to influence the judging?

2010-03-26T20:41:00.001Z

I don't cook well and I don't think ordering on a take away is allowed....I wouldn't flash boob though. Maybe a smile n an eye flutter.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

Are you going to vote in the forthcoming election, and do you think there will be an impact on the UK's burlesque scene?

2010-03-26T20:39:00.001Z

I am voting. I don't believe you have the right to moan about the government unless you have done something to change it.
As for an impact on the scene it seems there may be something coming that may challenge it. But as burlesque has been around so long surviving all sorts of things like prohibition I think it'll survive and emerge stronger and more fantastic x

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

What performance discipline would you recommend all burlesque performers learn?

2010-03-24T22:38:00.001Z

I dont think I am the best person to ask question on performance disciplines....though I have to say that if a performer or performance does not connect with an audience on some level then its a wasted performance....

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

A Crazy Weekend

2010-03-21T21:25:00.000Z

WOW what a manic weekend of shows I have had. I swear I have spent more time in the car that out of it lately. I am really tired now but have a wonderful feeling after all gigs and routines went well.

about to head off on the crazy burlesque tour for the weekend...I look like a a Bon Jovi fan from the 80s....

First show was in Bournemouth at the Bourne Beat Hotel which is a wonderfully eccentric place with the walls covered in music memorabilia. I performed there alongside the divine Miss Annie and her Kitty Kats from her Kitty Kat Cabaret Club. Also performing was Miss Minne La Quimm and Cherry Pop. A lovely audience despite this being their first experience of burlesque. I cant wait to go back for another show. I did manage a little accident after a trod on some broken glass I managed to splice my toe open. It did bleed a fair bit but thanks to the beautiful Momma James (Momma to Starla James) I was patched up so fast.

The morning saw me back at Rubyz my usual haunt in Bournemouth to do a photoshoot with Luke of Hatter Arts Photography. It was a great shoot with the run of Rubyz to play with! We captured some fantastic images. I cant wait to see them.

in the dressing room at the shoot. (rather similar pose to the one above....LOL)

After the shoot I was rather late so was unable to meet my lovely friends Tammy and Jason instead I had to wing it up the motorway to my next gig. I was blown away when I arrived. I mean it was like I was transported back to WW2 Britain...there were vintage flags everywhere with adorable bunting...there was red, white and blue everywhere from flags to napkins. Even the dj had a fantastic set up with all his modern equipment was hidden in vintage cases. He played some fantastic tunes. His name was Michael and he was adorable! Please check out his website as he is an absolute treasure! http://radiolympia.webs.com/

I took/editted this image of him.

I also shared the bill with a number of other performers such as some dancers but one rather special lady who I was rather nervous to meet as I am a huge fan of her....LOLA LAMOUR!!!!

My rather dodgy head shot to gat on the stage with my 'Baby of the Blitz' routine.

Not only was she lovely and a great singer but so is her lovely husband who even was kind enough to help me with my staging. I was so very grateful.

The stage...wonderful!

Anyway I headed back to London (home) rather late and incredibly tired. I would have loved a lie in but had to head to Winsor in the morning to do another gig for birthday party...a nice gig with a lovely audience. I had every intention of finally heading home for a much earned rest but instead was 'conned' (bribed with the prospect of sushi after) to go to The British Leisure show with a friend. It was a rather nice show with lots of outdoorsy things but I was too busy looking at all the cute dogs that were being walked about. So many cutie pies from alsations to pugs and bulldogs to whippets. I did spy some funky tents for my festival antics this year. Anyone for Latitude I am going as a spectator. CAMP KHANDIE!!! LOL

Anyway thats the weekend done.

Off to de-glitter and de-boufant the barnet.

Do you categorise your acts into "classic", "comic" etc? Do you consciously create acts to fit a certain type e.g. acts that you see being more appropriate for corporate work?

2010-03-18T20:55:00.001Z

I am not sure if I have consciously create more corporate friendly acts but I have started to create some more glamorous acts such as my new one 'dark before the dawn'.

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

In A Flash

2010-03-18T08:29:00.000Z

So I am off to Bournemouth to perform this Friday, photoshoot on Saturday and another show! To be honest I have packed so much stuff I am worried my vomit comet (my car) wont be able to move. She barely makes 60 as it is and thats even going down hill with the wind behind her. I love her dearly though even if the glitter has now become so ingrained I have no idea what colour the seats were. I believe leopard print...though I could be wrong as there is green, purple, silver and white glitter going on in there now.

I was supposed to be performing at Proud Cabaret but oddly they cancelled the whole night performance wise. Not sure of the reason but both Honey Wilde and Bambury Cross as well as I were ratehr confused and proverbially (or int he case of Honey and Bambury) left out in the cold.

I fortunately has another private gig in Richmond which was a nice relaxing affair. The location was a rather swanky private residence and as much as I would love to post images I refrained from taking any as well lets face it....it is someone's home. Rather grown up decision that I am impressed with. I wish I could share with you the STUNNING chandelier that adorned my changing room...I say room but it was more like a whole flat. it was gigantic!

So this weekend is proving to be action packed which is going to lovely as always.

I will post a blog about in due course.

Take care.

PS anyone going to the home show this weekend?

What is your sexiest piece of clothing?

2010-03-16T11:41:00.001Z

my kermit the frog pjs.

I have no idea. I guess sexiness is something you project as opposed to wear though my latex lingerie is pretty smokin! LOL

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

What do you do when you're having a bad day?

2010-03-16T08:57:00.001Z

I put on my kermit pjs and dance on my bed doing bad air guitar to bad 80s power ballards!

thats or go for a run and shout.

I have been known to drive to specific field and scream!

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

Do you think there's been an increase in newer performers stealing acts from more established performers? How do you think this affects the burlesque scene as a whole?

2010-03-16T08:56:00.001Z

I have to admit I am not sure if they are 'stealing' acts or simply not researching acts? Its rather shocking that even when told some just dont care. I think sometimes the etiquette has been lost especially with performes who are just starting out.

If the 'stealing' continues people will become disillusioned with the scene. Who is going to booke established performers with honed acts when a newbie can do an attempt at it for much less money! That said promoters and bookers should do their research as well to make sure they arent booking the dodgey ones LOL

Ask away...I have little shame and no pride to dent!

Where do you get your energy from?

2010-03-12T11:53:00.001Z

Um...I honestly have no idea. I suppose the whole adrenaline thing may be a factor. I dont drink alcohol before or during a show so its not that. I dont take anything either.

Ask me anything

How hard do you find breaking the London scene?

2010-03-12T11:36:00.001Z

I have found it hard to break the 'London scene' as such. I have wored very hard to get where I am with it as whilst I am headlining outside of London alot I rarely headline in London. This used to upset me and frustrate me but then compared to alot of performers out there I dont compete. I have found my niche though and throughly enjoy when and where I perform in London though.

This year's 'to-do' list is to headline a top London venue. No worries if I dont its always good to have something to aspire to. Plus like I said I love the smaller more niche venues I perform at so not getting that dream is ok.

Ask me anything

Do you miss the Royal Air Force?

2010-03-12T11:33:00.001Z

I dont miss the RAF as a whole. I miss aspects of it and friends. Granted I have stayed in touch with a few of them but its hard as they are always moving around/on det etc. Not to mention my own travels. I dont regret joining the RAF but I certainly dont regret making the hard decision to leave it either. Towards the end things got too tough and I had to make a decision. I have never looked back and regretted.

Ask me anything

Oh I'll say

2010-03-11T13:54:00.001Z

Would you believe it: I am blogging mid week!? What has the world come to honestly.

I seem to be having quite the week when it comes to bookings I am here there and everywhere over the coming weeks doing all sorts of things though mainly performing.

I am off to Rubyz, in Bournemouth on Saturday to have a photoshoot with the awesome Julie Arthur as I need some promo shots of my new costumes (and some fresh ones of my older costumes). I love Rubyz as its so welcoming there. Aside from running burlesque classes (taught by a former BLUE BELLE girl and burlesque performer, they also bring in performers to host masterclasses in certain techniques and disciplines) cabaret shows are also there with dame Kitty at the helm. http://www.rubyz.co.uk/welcome-rubyz-cabaret-restaurant.html and the classes can be found http://www.kittykatcabaretclub.co.uk

Lessons at Rubyz...with JANE!

I am also performing on the Friday night with Miss Annie and her Regular Joe band http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=594339919#!/event.php?eid=319600838830 Come and see us.

Plus can you believe it but Khandie is going international (again). After the joys of Australia I am excited to announce I will be performing in Canada this year with the lovely Willow Blue at my side.

Anyway this all rather too much for me...posting midweek is surely life on the edge. Ok so maybe not but who cares!

What is the ideal way to take afternoon tea?

I have a HUGE list. I love the Beyond Retro in Brick Lane (not the one near SoHo), Fabric Warehouse, Glitter and Glisten, Fur Coat No Knickers and House of Harlot.
