Weimar Republic cabaret, Herr Kettners, 1920s black lace flapper dress, burlesque

Sequins from Weimar

June 25, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Our step back to the Weimar Republic at Herr Kettner’s was most enjoyable. The dress code stated “1920s Berlin, moustachioed dandies, dizzy flappers, monocled counts, decadent aesthetes, firebrand radicals, apoplectic Teutonic military officers, predatory cross-dressers, itinerant jazz musicians, black or white tie”.

Chicago, Fosse, Push Studios

Showtime

March 5, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

“Gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down……and all that jazz”. Those words are ringing in my ears and probably will be for a few weeks! A few of us from PUSH performed three numbers from Chicago for an evening’s entertainment and to raise money for the PUSH Foundation.   Needless to say it was fabulous and fun and a little nerve-wracking.
