BURLESQUE COCKTAIL CONTEST 0
08.37At the end of the month The Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret will head over to Tampere for an ordinary night of decadence; the fifth edition of Burlesque Cocktail! Or well, part of us will - it is still too early in baby life for me to travel to another town to perform...
The event will take pace at YO-talo as usual, August 31, featuring the crème de la crème of Finnish burlesque and hosted by "the moistess hostess in the world", Lamey Crackhouse. There's of course not en endless amount of tickets available , so get yours in time if you want in.
Or - you can try your luck by commenting on this post, as one of you has the chance to win a set of tickets (you+avec) for the evening!
I will draw the winner randomly a week before; Friday 24. So you still have time to plan your outfit and so on.
The competition is open to everyone everywhere - as long as you have the chance to be in said town at said night.
You can find out more about the event on it's FaceBook page.

PS.: you still have some time to enter the Years Since Yesterday giveaway!
The winner will be announced tomorrow night.
I was sent this dress, in a soft fabric and perfect blue colour, from one of my affiliates, Shabby Apple.
Apart form shirtwaist dresses, wrap around dresses are also pretty handy when your body is going trough changes, one direction or the other - this one is not an adjustable wrap dress, but anything with just a few buttons can be easily adjusted if needed -in this case I actually made the highest button the lowest one as it sat strangely right in the middle of my bust. I got a lot more room by chancing it and it still did not affect the hemline.- hopefully I one day soonish get to move all three inwards to make it tighter, heh.
Anyway, the dress is from a so called Emerging Designers collection, which means it was designed by an independent designer for Shabby Apple on a win-win basis - Emerging Designers is a program created to help start-up fashion designers manufacture and feature their clothing. The designer submits the designs and manufactures the items (with the possibility of being mentored in the process of productions) while Shabby Apple takes care of the rest; logistics, taxes, marketin campaings, customer service and so on. The designer receives 40% of the sales revenue from their collection.
The program is open for designers world wide, but please note that it means you can't just have a bunch or nice drawings for pretty dresses, but have to be serious about it and prepared to actually produce (as in fund) the clothing yourself. So nothing for me...yet at least - I do like the idea :) If it sounds like something for you can read more and apply for the program via the Shabby Apple site or by clicking the banner below (also in my sidebar):
But back to me and my dress - did I mention it has pockets? And you know what I think about dresses and skirts with pockets don't you? WIN.
If interested, the dress is the Carousel dress, runs a bit big but rather small around the shoulders, although it stretches a bit. The scarf is by Boo Boo Kitty, bag from Tunisia and the sandals are old.
Ta-ta!
Today Eddi and I posed and acted in some nostalgia mood shots filmed at our farm for a upcoming TV-production. Old Finnish cinema all the way!
The series will air next winter.
And, speaking of nostalgia, the Years Since Yesterday giveaway is over now.

Late nineties nostalgia!
Then on another note, as it sometimes seem only bigger happenings in life brings out reactions here on the interwebs (like, getting married, buying a mintgreen smeg or having a baby) I put up a little poll there in the sidebar so you can click on themes you'd like to see more of here. Although I kind of know the answer as almost everyone will click OUTFITS anyway.
...and not that I will change anything though, I'll still keep on posting what I feel like posting and what I have time for but you know, it's always nice to get to do some clicking online isn't it?
(And haha, there will only be so many giveaways as I find interesting products or get good suggestions of. I just put it there as an option because, well, because :)
Today I made some fruit sherbet of watermelon, pear, lemon, rhubarb juice and agave syrup with my ice cream maker - the cutest little ice cream maker in the world! We got it from my parents last Christmas. Too bad only it actually is quite small, as in produces small amounts - but then again my dresses in waiting will thank me for that. (Although of course, sherbet like this is very dress friendly, small and big amounts alike.)
