Stockholm Burlesque Festival! <3

Oi oi, less than a month left for the International Stockholm Burlesque Festival, and our Pepper will be performing in there on Friday! First time at an international Festival for any of us, and even though this time it is only Pepper we hope we'll soon visit some of the lovely festivals around Europe altogether <3

Luckily for Pepper she will have a most wonderful company during the event, since Sir Willy Waterlily, The Itty Bitty Tease Cabaret and a bunch of other friends are also part of the lineup!
You can find more info about this event also through facebook. 



Besides performing on Friday, Pepper will also hit the stage briefly on Saturday, for the Octbooberfest! The Octbooberfest it a tassel twirling championship, but most importantly it is a fundraiser for a very serious issue, breast cancer. You can find more information about the event and how you can also help this cause through their facebook page.

Tassel making/twirling workshop by Pepper in Tallinn this Saturday 14.9!

Pepper will be visiting Tallinn this weekend, and she'll be teaching a tassel workshop!
Prepare to learn how to craft pasties that can be made into any shape you wish, and tassels that will twirl forever and without (much) effort! She'll also be teaching different ways to twirl one or two tassels, and be assured that whatever your booby size and/or skill level, you will manage to twirl those tassels! ;-D

She'll be teaching techniques learnt from attending many different workshops with different performers, so you'll be getting all the tassel tricks you need without needing to wait for all these other performers to come teach in Tallinn. :-)

For registrations please contact Affinity Starr, her email can be found in the description of this event in facebook! :-)

Velvet Night Tea Room + Teatterifestivaali Lainsuojamattomat

Oh my, what a weekend! Unless you don't live in Finland (or you've been hiding the whole weekend), you must have been just a few kms away from a burlesque event this week! There's been so many and so awesome ones, that I think I'm going to refrain from mentioning them, because I'm sure I'm probably going to forget some :-D


Which means, all Thee Dizzy Daisies have been shaking tailfeathers around this weekend! Gigi performed at the Lainsuojamattomat Theater Festival in Pori, and had the pleasure of joining Sir Willy Waterlilly for a duo as his very own Eve! And if you have ever been lucky enough to watch Willy on stage, you know that's definitely a pleasure ;-D




In the meanwhile, Sandy and Pepper joined a lineup of amazing finnish performers at the second edition of the deliciously cozy Velvet Night Tea Room at Wäiski, Sandy with her exotic and mysterious snake number (which had previously only been performed at the Helsinki Burlesque Festival), and Pepper with her brand new silent-movie-crossdresser-chap number! 


       

From our part the hugest thanks to all the amazing performers we had the honour to share the stage with this weekend, the organizers for letting us be part of it, and of course the audiences for being so awesome! <3

Teerenpeli Tease - Circus

In a week and a half in Tampere, Pepper will join the first Teerenpeli Tease of the autumn/winter season! The theme for this event is the Circus, and besides the usual tail-feather shaking you'll be treated to some real circus awesomeness! So save the date and remember that the tickets can only be bought at the door with cash! ;-)

Big fat update!

Oh my, what a Spring/Summer this has been! We've been so terribly busy with our dayjobs, photoshoots, dancing, deadlines, and of course burlesque, that the updates have just been piling up mercilessly! But enough of that! So here you go what we've been up to lately, in case you've been wondering ;-)

First of all, WE ABSOLUTELY ADORED TALLINN
We were most thrilled, honoured and excited to take part in the first Vintage Glamour party, organized by the amazing Müstika Magical Theatre, and sharing the stage with so many talented artists! Besides gorgeous estonian burlesque artists Chrissy Kiss and Affinity Starr, we also had the honour to share the stage with some of the most amazinglh talented bellydancers from Müstika, as well as the Kelfirius Fire Theatre! And from what I've heard there are plans for more Vintage Glamour happenings coming up, so stayed tune for that! ;-D


And if this magnificent event weren't enough, on the following day we got to share some fun and tail feather shaking with a bunch of gorgeous estonian ladies! Gigi and Pepper taught two workshops (Burlesque A to Z, and Old School Kitty Cat), and we must say estonians definitely have talent! We can't wait to be back for somemore shaking and fun! 


Which reminds me, GIGI AND PEPPER ARE CURRENTLY ALSO AVAILABLE FOR WORKSHOPS AND HEN PARTIES! So just drop us a line and let us know what's in your mind, all the Dizzy Daisies have many years of experience on stage and have also attended the workshops on many international burlesque stars and legends! ;-)

And before I continue with the next event, I would like to express our deepest thanks and all our love to the brain behind Müstika, the gorgeous dancer, perfect hostess and dear friend Berit Vill <3 <3 <3

The next big thing we have been involved with after Tallinn has been the delicious Sinsational Spring Awakening! Which this year starred international burlesque performers Erochica Bamboo and Minnie Tonka, as well as a selection of awesome finnish performers! We had the honour to join this event as part of the crazy Finnish 8-girl troupe The Tourettes, which this time consisted of Thee Dizzy Daisies, The Itty Bitty Tease Cabaret, Kitty Lit Ter and Lucie Good Ness. We just LOVE performing with this crazy bunch, and hope to be able to develope this project further in the future! :-D


If the Spring Awakening had a delicious combination of national and international performers, then the following weekends event, aka T.t. Tassel's birthday bash just had the best of Finland! It was definitely one of those occasions that make you remember why the Finnish burlesque family is so special, and why we are all so lucky to be part of it <3
Oh, and our gal Gigi Praline premiered her new Praline Airlines act as a very special birthday present! 


And since this summer has been all about new experiences, the weekend right after T.t. Tassel's birthday party Gigi and Pepper travelled back to lovely Tampere for our very first Summer Festival show! We performed at the Sauna Open Air Festival, which had a lineup including bands such as Volbeat, Hardcore Superstar, Nightwish, Stam1na and Finntroll, and it was a blast! Special thanks go to the lovely lady that came to see our second show from the first row wearing kitty ears after seeing our Crazy Kitties act the previous evening, YOU ROCK <3

I think we might have confused a couple of metalheads with our looks though, yellow is the new black? ;-D


And since Tampere seems to have become our second home, Gigi still travelled there again a few weeks ago for the premier of the burlesque movie Burlesque Assassins! Besides featuring the Finnish premier of this must-see for any burlesque fan, this even also featured some amazing burlesque artists and even one of the stars of the movie itself, the gorgeous Xarah von den Vielenregen! <3


Pepper had the pleasure of both performing at and discovering a new Finnish city, the absolutely gorgeous Rauma! She was part of a turn-of-the-century event prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Manner during the legendary Mustan Pitsin Yö, together with vintage clothings and items, art, and the amazing photographer team Atelieri O. Haapala! The stage turned out to be a gorgeous old building from the 1800 century, and the audience was such that they couldn't even fit inside! An absolutely magic night with very special people <3


And last but not least, when it comes to updating you with what we've been up to, we'd like to add that we're currently working on both new solo and group numbers! So stay tuned because we'll soon be back with some surprises ;-)

Do NOT miss the chance to witness the performances of two real top class international performers, Erochica Bamboo from Japan, and Minnie Tonka from the States! And of course, a delightful selection of Some of Finland's very best performers! 
Gigi, Sandy and Pepper will be joining The Tourettes for this occasion, with a number that has been performed only once in the past, and never in a public event!

New Promo + Stage Pictures!

As hinted by the previouspost, we have been having a few exciting promoshoots lately, with amazingly talented photographers such as Jirina Alanko and Marissa Tammisalo. We have uploaded a few of them to our Promo Pictures section, but if you would like to see more remember that you are most likely to find them in our facebook page! ;-)
We have also added a few pictures from our brand new acts at the Helsinki Burlesque Festival 2013 and a few other of our latest gigs.

Our beloved Atelieri O. Haapala, who take the most gorgeous neo-victorian pictures, were again at the festival taking pictures of the gorgeous audience and super talented performers. If you are in Finland and still haven't heard of them, go check their facebook page and figure out when they'll be shooting nearby next, it's absolutely worth it! And if you're not in Finland, you might even get lucky since they have already been to several other countries. And as an example, here you go the pictures they took of us after out acts:

Post-festival recovering

Long time no write! We are most happy to say that we are finally recovering from this year's Helsinki Burlesque Festival, which was yet again the best so far! The lineup was so packed with the brightest stars in the Finnish and international burlesque scenes that it feels almost impossible to come up with a better one, but stay tuned because I'm sure that Bettie Blackheart and Frank Doggenstein will manage to surprise us all again next year!

And of course we are still excited, honoured and overwhelmed about having been able to be a part of it, and specially about being able to each premier a brand new solo number on a stage so full of stars.
Thank you very much <3

As was to be expected though, all the pre-festival nerves and stress led to some serious flues and whatnot after the festival, and we've all had to be good girls and rest for a change. We're now back though! And full of exciting new ideas for this year, hopefully we'll be able to make some of them true :-)

So while yours trully will try to perform a major update on the website throughout the week (new promo picture + pictures from our brand new solo numbers coming to the gallery), we would like to announce that some cool news will hopefully follow soon! And until then, you can read T.t. Tasses review about this year's HBF 2013 HERE.

Have a wonderful Easter! <3
