A trip to the glamourous East... Of Cambridge

I had an utterly, utterly wonderful time dancing at my favourite night in Cambridge, the Neon Moon Caberet and Burlesque Night, last month, and just recently the photos came in so I can show you!

The night was prequeled with a week of frantically sewing costumes for performers - I made stuff for three performers, including myself - and I have had a wonderful time not sewing a thing since then.

I ran a tribal hareem installation on one of the fancy pants bedrooms - we bedecked it in Morroccan glory to turn it into a beautiful performance space, and I danced to wonderful live drumming. There was also a performance on the teeniest stage and an extra sword performance, followed by a parade up to our installation room, throwing rose petals everywhere we went! Here we are dancing downstairs in the library

My team members for this event were Mairead Kelly, Daisy Pickup, and Sudhi Pooniyil. 

Mairead's been a student and friend of mine for the last two years: she's also one of my mermaid sisters, and she is just so beautiful! I've never met someone quite so photogenic. That's Mairead and I looking mighty sinister on the left there.

Daisy very graciously stepped in at the last minute to cover a drop out, and she looked proper tribal fusion on the night. She's a great friend of mine and is 100% awesome. 

And Sudhi was our freaking fantastic drummer and such a happy little party animal! I saw him bopping away with abandon to all the amazing tunes Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer entertained us with in the marvelous Caberet show, just like me! 

Sudhi Rules!

It was an amazing night and I had so much fun! Make sure you come to the next one, it's at Halloween! Links are here for the Neon Moon Burlesque and Cabaret Club.  And a massive thanks to the awesome Andy Starwarz for all the great photos - you can check out his flicker stream, and all the awesome costumes everyone was wearing, here.
