What a mess! Spent last night performing at Cirque Noir! The theme was Devil's Rejects which is awesome! But we spent the first half of the night getting ready for all the acts throughout the night and I missed getting to chill with all the awesome people who came by at the beginning of the night (including Canadian_Coat and Lee)! 
The turn out wasn't great (way smaller than any of the other cirque noir events) and I have to admit that the second I heard skrillex playing I knew they weren't really sticking with the theme this time (I don't like skrillex). By the time I did my eyepatch wearing nurse act and covered myself in red liquid latex there was only a small crowd left to see it and we got latex in my hair. NOT FUN TO GET OUT! (if you have any tips please do leave me a comment!) So far it's been a lot of baby oil, combing, shampoo, repeat. lol
On the plus side I think we got a few awesome photos of the acts and all the blood red latex!
The date for the next Cirque Noir has already been chosen and I'm hoping the next one is a step back towards what some of the more successfully themed shows have been like.
Tonight is the Halloween Hip Hop Hoedown hosted by Romi from the Real L Word. I'll be gogo dancing there and I hope it's a good time as it's not exactly in an easy to leave early from location if you don't have a car! Guess I have to pull together a cowgirl costume? Not really my thing but I'll have fun shaking my ass in whatever!
TOMORROW NIGHT! Tomorrow is yet another Halloween Hoedown, but this one is at the Rainbow in the market (downtown Ottawa) There will be a bunch of bands, art and burlesque by myself, and Audrey Hipturn of Capital Tease as well as a possible debut performance by Kitty Kin-Evil who has been our loyal stage kitten! On top of the acts that we'll be performing a handful of mine and Bambi Van Boom's burlesque students will be performing group and solo numbers! a first for a few of them!
In all this madness I haven't even had a chance to figure out what I'm going to dress as on actual Halloween when I get to spend it with my Sweetheart! We were talking about Sweeny Todd and Mrs Lovett type characters! Which I think would look pretty awesome if we can pull it together in time!
Well I hope every's Halloween weekend has gotten off to a great start! I look forward to checking out everybody's blogs for photos over the next week! To those of you who are just getting started have a safe and happy Halloween!
