My interest in vintage glamour began in an unexpected way....

Following an unfortunate experience at work which took my self-confidence to rock bottom, a friend suggested I take a burlesque class with her as a way of boosting my self-esteem and to have some fun (something I'd forgotton how to do!)

I've never looked back!

Now, by encouraging women to wear feminine and fabulous underwear (even underneath their jeans!), it brings a touch of vintage charm and glamour into their everyday lives. And when you feel fabulous, you feel confident!

I can supply beautiful and traditionally made corsets (very fashionable as outerwear), soft and sumptuous vintage style underwear and for those wanting to pursue a more "burlesque" theme, all the accessories you would need to take a class.

BooBoo's "Burlesque at Home" parties are a fun way to get your friends together, find out a little more of what it's all about and if you're the hostess of the evening, there's a beautiful burlesque gift worth £50 waiting for you.

Remember ladies... it's all about the art of the tease!

Success!
Thank you to the ladies from 1230 TWC who supported the burlesque afternoon tea - what a fabulous time we had! Our brilliant performers were true to the definition of "burlesque" and had the audience in stitches ("burlesque" means to send up in a comic fashion).

Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer entertained us with his banjolele singing songs of Chap Hop (hip hop re-worked with the Queen's English!!)

"Ethel" was our OAP who turns into a glamorous burlesque star with the help of some red shoes.

Miss Domino Burlesk went shopping with her visa cards in "Hasta La Visa Baby".

Last but not least, Miss Glory Pearl performed a beautiful feather fan dance that captivated us all.

Shopping was on the menu for lots of ladies who took home burlesque goodies, hair flowers and beautiful vintage style jewellery (courtesy of Fiona Coppard's Electra Jewellery).

We've got some exciting new events coming up so keep your eyes peeled for more news!!

It's nearly time for Afternoon Tea(se)
Another whirlwind week has flown by and it's getting closer to the burlesque afternoon tea!

More tickets have been sold this week and I'm almost hoarse from talking about it so much! The interest has been incredible (from ladies and gentlemen of all age ranges) and we've even got an exclusive full page spread from a nice glossy magazine (can't say who at this stage).

Fabulous performers and a delicious afternoon tea are guaranteed so if you want to be part of this "first" for Tunbridge Wells, book your tickets through Simone at The Brew House on 01892 520587.

Let the art of the tease begin .....

Fed up of the World Cup?
What a busy week of talking to people about the burlesque afternoon tea!

One reoccurring theme is ladies complaining they are sick of the World Cup already. Well how about treating yourself to a totally different afternoon out?

Gather your friends, wear your finery and join us at The Old School House, Chapel Place, Tunbridge Wells for a delightfully different way to take afternoon tea - with a twist of burlesque cabaret! (There's also a glass of fizz on arrival included in the ticket price).

Tickets available from Simone at The Brew House on 01892 520 587 (£22.50). Doors open 12.30pm and ends 2.45pm.

More Burlesque.....
What an exciting weekend filled with some wonderful burlesque!

Went to the most fantastic show on Friday night in Hastings - aptly titled "Burlesk". Filled with lots of great acts and plenty of whooping and hollering!

Sunday was spent taking tea, with a wonderful performer who is going to become a very integral part of BooBoo Burlesque with her unique skills and talents..... watch this space for more news. This lady will knock your socks off!
