This write up will be a bit different from normal.
Why you ask?
Because I was on stage myself, not once but twice. First aiding Sea Breeze with her performance, and the second time aiding The Valentino Sisters with their performance.
So I ask you to indulge me as I was not able to see all the performances.
When you first entered the theatre area you found in front of you a very well laid out and well stocked Burlesque Flea Market. This was staffed by the delightful Elisa Day.
After this you came into the main seating area and stage.
The Dj/Lighting Technician/Sound Technician/Smoke Machine Operator for the evening was the remarkable Petja, sorry there is no picture or link out for this man of many talents, just our thanks.
The Host for the evening was Miss Nobody and she was aided by the very quiet Miss Incognito. (I say quiet because Miss Incognito wore a gas mask the entire evening).

The Pick Up for the evening was carried out by Fanny Von Dunkel.
First blood of the evening (so to speak) went to Sea Breeze, who performed her newest routine “Hunger”, and really got the audience in the mood for the rest of the evening.

Dorianne Crimson next gave a performance that was most enjoyable, and the audience responded really well and showed their appreciation.

Miss Charming Daisy gave a demonstration in rubbish collection and recycling, although I have never had such an enjoyable demonstration.

Marie la Mint is always a treat to watch with her performances, and this was no exception. She lead us into the first break with style and glamour.

After the break we were delighted with the beautiful dance moves of Ginger, her grace and style was like watching butterflies dancing.

Titania Hill is a very talented performer, and she was truly on form at this event. Her routine was amazing and this surely was Titania at her best.

Tellervo Rynnäs-Kintukas gave us a refreshing take on Monsieur Poirot. This was a really entertaining performance and a delight to watch.

Giving us an ice cool performance was left to Melanie Mightmurder, her routine was as cool as diamonds and as slick as ice, while raising the temperature in the room.

One of my favourite burlesque performances is Invisible Light from The Finnish Blonde Burlesque Troupe, and we were treated to a special one off performance of this number.

After the next break for refreshments we were to be entertained with some very clever and fast hula-hoops from the talented Susanna.

The Valentino Sisters brought their Caravan routine to Turku. This duo work so well together and are a pleasure to watch.

Sophie le Sucre delighted everyone with one of her most sensuous performances, and she had the audience right where she wanted them.

Mimi de Froufrou and Lafayette Lestrange of The Finnish Blonde Burlesque Troupe closed the show with their new duo number, a routine that is so suited to them.
