FRIDA KAHLO GOES TIKI PIN UP GOES PREGGERS

Quite a lot of contradictions there in the head line yes.

But that however was the inspiration.

Yesterday I did something I haven't done in a very long time, rarely ever; I went to a burlesque party where I did not perform. Weird. The event and theme was spring awakening (although I think Summer Awakening would be more in it's place by now, oh yes!) so I went all bazookas on flowers, fruits and big beads, warming up at home with Phyllis Dillon, Hawaiian guitars and pine apple juice (instead of tropical drinks, sniff).

The jewelry is old, my flowers from a plant store and the sequied kiwi shoe clips made by my fellow Bitty Tinker Bell.



Remember this dress? From Teneriffe earlier this year (when HAHAHA my bump was so small. And I thought it big then, well, of course I did :) I altered it a bit by 'sweethearthing' the neck line and adding shoulder straps to make it less tourist beach and more dressy.

If you're out in Helsinki tonight and are in the mood for more quality partying there's a dresscoded 20's themed speakeasy at the casino. Not for me though, even though I'd have a great outfit and all (the gold-and-blue one I made for HBF this year) ; but after getting up at eight in the morning to finnish off sewing some tassels for the not only one but two bachelorette burlesque dance workshops I held today I am totally worn out and will leave the late night dancing for somebody else who will not give birth in a few weeks...

So now I'm out in the countryside making pineapple-banana milkshakes with Eddi instead! Even better.
But the band starts playing at eleven, if interested.
