I knew there was something not entirely accurate about my assumption! Wink

chilli in the bath...nooooo you'll give edd ideas!

my personal best is sudoku in one hand, hot choc in the other and a tub of cottage cheese in the soap dish...i did try and balance some peanut butter on bread on my head once but it fell in...

i don't have much time so much eating is done in the bath or on the internet...

Being single and being in a couple are very different obviously, but both have their perks! Twisted Evil

Back to the topic ...

My man is a burlesque boyfriend and he always helps me out. He is my chaperone, chaffuer, biggest fan and best critic all at once! I really value his help with my routines but at times he really hates it because I get so stressed out.

He's not a big burlesque fan himself, but then he just can't understand the performer's mentality! He's so down to earth himself that he can't understand why we get up and do what we do. But I'm getting him more into the scene. He likes the performers and appreciates the work that goes into the routines, especially when they're funny (he's one of the ones who prefers things like comedy and music to the stripping), but he thinks there's too much emphasis on the image and all the dressing up when you're just in the audience.

I will get him in a corset one day though!

Its nice to have somewhere where you can dress up loads! I love dressing up so I appreciate the opportunity, I know not everyone feels that way, I know Baby Bones doesn't have a dress code at Smooch so everyone feels comfortable but I still dress up loads!

Does anyone get shy at showing boyfs their routines?
Im really nervous at my boyfriends comming and seeing me perform, im also so scared of practicing in front of him, which is odd as im really happy and comfortable with him. He has probably seen me naked more times than he has had hot dinners so not sure where the problem is?

I know exactly what you mean.. after I'd done some workshops, I'd come home and not be able to stop wiggling about in the kitchen. But, as soon as I heard John in the vicinity, I'd stop immediately. Something about doing it in front of him feels really embarrassing and odd.
