Burlesque Debut

 AYYYYYYYYY

GUESS WHO IS OFFICIALLY GONNA MAKE THEIR DEBUT AS A BURLESQUE DANCER FOR ELLIS'S QUEER PERFORMANCE GROUP!!!!!!

THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE!!!!

I will be Underground Present's first burlesque baby and I am SO EXCITED!!!!!

I plan to dance to "she calls me daddy"; It will be a simple look; dark overcoat (omg I need to get my purple coat from Brad, if he still has that i won't need to buy a new one), silver slip, black thigh highs (i'll use the ones I already have but just put them inside out so the red bow doesn't show, black gloves, purple lingerie, and black cheeky lace undies I will need to find. White fan prop! 

Outfit Cost: Black gloves, Slip, Lingerie, (underwear $6?) , FAN = $55

Not only that, but before even making my debut I've already been booked for a second show in September. That's 2 shows and 3 (maybe 4?) dance numbers! 

For my first I will simply be dancing to a single song, but the second performance I'm going to mix in a few things I've seen done by drag queens.

I'm gonna make song mixes. 

The September show theme is animals. 

So I will be doing a Marie from Aristocats number, starting with scales and arpeggios song where i'll just kind of be cute and innocent, dancing and interacting with the crowd, then the dialogue of marie saying "Ladies don't start fights, but we can finish them", then it will switch over to Little Girl by Cady Groves, and that's when I'll start taking off the costume. For Marie I won't be taking much off, robe, gloves?, white skirt, slip, and underbust corset.  I will remain in my teddy bear lingerie and white undies the whole time. 

Outfit Cost: : Already bought most of it. Slip and white thigh highs = 27$

*check glove prices at party city

The second number for that show will be a peacock. I plan to have a belly dancer top and belt underneath a corset and skirt, gloves, high heels, and use a big fan. I will enter the room to the sound of snow white singing to the birds and them singing back, then it will shift into Bird Song by Juniper Veil for most of it where I will dance with the fan, and then its gonna burst into peacock by Katy Perry and that's when I do most of the shedding of clothes. Probably go down to pasties. 

Outfit Cost: corset/skirt, belly dancer outfit, FAN, = 78$

Cut cost: 

compare price of gloves at amazon vs party city. See if they have a belly dance outfit? It's a long shot. See what party city has that could be used for peacock and compare price to amazon?

IF the Animal show requires a third act:

If I have to crank out a third number I want to do a snake. I'm thinking something kind of belly dance-esque, minimal clothes shedding. I'm thinking Large temporary tattoo to be put on my belly and back? Outfit: tube top, snake stockings, body jewelry top ,belly dancer's belt for jingles, the tie around sheer skirt under that, and a snake print cardigan. I would first shed the cardigan, shed the tie on the sheer skirt, Slip off the body jewelry, untie the jingle skirt, and be left in just the tube top, stockings, and snake print undies by the end of it. I would do this to Serenity by Godsmack. Maybe look into gold isis wings as prop?

Outfit Cost: $68

ways to cut cost: look in the mall for snakeskin undies that are cheaper than 11.50. Check party city for belly dance belt? Maybe see if I can borrow one from someone. 

Despite the high cost of everything... I can reuse a lot of it for other numbers.
