    Shrimp’s Oh! Strip! Show

    On January 25th I brought my husband to Akron to see an amazing Burlesque show. I was lucky to get VIP tickets so we got to be part of a VIP cocktail party before the show where I got to meet a couple of my favorite burlesque dancers. The show was beyond amazing and I was ridiculously excited to see both Siomai Moore and Dirty Martini since they are regional acts that I may never have gotten a chance to see.

    I bought myself a Siomai Moore pin, a couple of really pretty Bettie Page Clothing Bras and a pair of bedazzled cockroach earrings from the amazing Veronica Lockhart, The Countess of Cockroaches.

    I wore a dress I bought several years ago in Vegas at the Bettie Page store. Proudly, I managed an amazing victory roll. I felt very vintage and very cute. We ended up grabbing a bite to eat before the show at Cultured Waffle and Coffee.  The whole evening was lovely and I am so happy I went.

    Vision Board – The lovely Molly Roberts held a live event for her Patrons all about creating a vision board. I decided to get in on the action and began building up images and words for my board. I just bought myself a brand new Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary (as previously stated my favorite dictionary) so my old falling apart one became fodder for my vision board. I found these battery operated lights I bought at Target a couple of years ago that have glitter in bulbs around the lights and I decided they would look amazing on my vision board. I bought a shadowbox style wooden box to use and painted the inside neon pink and the outside silver. I used glitter infused mod podge to place my images on the board. I began with bright colored images and then added words and pieces from the dictionary. I found some star shaped push pins and attached the lights to the edge with them. I am really happy with how it turned out. It is going to live on my new altar for 2020.
