What a shame that this room will either have to close or be renamed come July 2007.

Never I tell you, never. This will remain a bastion to nicotene and the joys of polluting ones lungs. Embarassed

Just wanted to say hello, it has been a while since I have been on the BWI forum (+ under a different user name), but this time I plan to be a bit more diligent.

Oh.... well then disregard my other welcome post and let me say WELCOME BACK! haha

BTW, if you ever want to change your name again, just let me or Ruby Rose know and we can just go in and change it for you so you don't have to create another account. I know you probably just forgot your info this time. I do that a lot.

Thanks for that, I have been meaning to come back here for ages but I have felt buried under photography work. Plus doing a wider variety of subject matters of late made me realise just how much I like the burlesque scene / people / and associated photography!

Haha. Yeah. Burlesque is like sex. You don't realize how great it really is until you haven't had it for a while. That's what keeps us all here. Knowing we could never just walk away from it and still be happy.

Or, as Admiral Ackbar would say...

Hi All

Just wanted to say Hi to all. I've been reading these forums for a couple of weeks now and thought it about time to say 'Hello'.

I used to get involved in the MoB forums a bit (cough, cough) but there are too many kids on there now (you know the type - really into burleseque but haven't actually been to any shows). There seems to be a bit more informed debate and fun on this forum - and I always wondered where HG had gone to!

For information I (we) try to get to as many Burlesque events around the midlands as we can (Candybox, Pitty Patt, Peekaboo etc.). Seriously looking forward to Charlotte's 'Ooh La La! Party for Parkinsons' in April.

Welcome to the BWI! We're glad to have you.

MoB gets a lot of newbies because they show up on the first page of Google. Anyone who types in the word "burlesque" is going to find them first. That's how it worked for me even though I had my own burlesque troupe by then. That's great for MoB, but it attracts all sorts of people who may have never even heard the word burlesque before they logged on to the internet that day.

We get new people here now and then but they usually get all the info they need rather quickly. In fact, I think we've even had a few newbies show up that are now on the verge of performing. I think one or two may have already done a few shows. It's a very nurturing environment for anyone interested in performing or just getting together to see a show or just being silly on the internet. haha.

I think you'll find it impossible to have a bad time here on BWI so dive in and have fun.

Welcome Tim, I've been hoping you would post it's so nice to have some more boys in here, I think HG was getting lonely in the library and very drunk on all the Brandy.

So come on in and and take a seat, you won't even have to remove your slippers.
