I think its cos they know you so well that its odd trying on a different 'persona' or character in front of them, I'm sure once you've done it a few times and they're used to it it will just become another facet of your fabulous personalities.

My man hates helping me practise because I get so stressed, but he'll always do it (he's got no choice in the matter, mwahaha). I think there's been one performance I've done where he's not been there. He's very honest with me - too honest at times - but sometimes he just doesn't get what it is I'm trying to do. He always tells me when I do something particularly well or badly though. And as for the other persona thing - I wish I could do that. Fleur's just another name, not another personality, which is what she needs to be ...

Oh im glad im not the only one who feels like that about boyfs. I took him to his first burly night last week and he loved it and really appreciated the work the girls had put into their routines so I think he'd help me a lot, I tried doing a few cheesecake poses to him and he just laughed Rolling Eyes

I think another issue is that what they say means the most to you, so trying something new and risking them laughing or in my case no 'getting it' is difficult. I don't mind Rob hearing me singing at all, but a sexy little strip and I'd feel awkward, which is so daft its unreal as lets just say we're not inhibited in the bedroom Embarassed

That's why I'm quite glad that i'm single as anyone I meet now will know that i'm into this from the word go and if they don't accept it then I know that they're just not right for me!! Smile

I'm not a performer (though I'd like to be at some point) but my boyfriend/fiance absolutely does not get burlesque. I think he finds it too weird...he's not used to that kind of sillyness and sexyness mixed into one. I desparately want to do something burlesque - I have so many idea for acts I'd like to do - and he says he's okay with it...I very much hope to do a performance and convince him it's brilliant!
