In keeping with the burlesque theme (see www.londonburlesquefestival.blogspot.com), the image on the left may inspire some burlesque queens.

Always hungry to develop their art, these ladies go to incredible lengths to decorate in ever more innovative ways. The five day long burlesque megathon that was the LBF was a makeup, clothes and hair showcase as well as a sexy dancing one - in many cases the visual impact was better than the dancing - we are not a dancing nation, sorry. But we sure as hell are stylish!
