Frosty belles & broken cars...

12/12/2013

Frosty Belles and Whistles, the burlesque and steampunk event held at The Roadhouse in Birmingham last week, was great.  At least what I saw of it!

Attending this event transpired to be a bit of a cursed endeavour, as first our violinist’s illness forced Crimson Clocks to withdraw (missus); and then car failure meant that books and the like had to be hauled to the event via public transport and Shanks’s pony*, resulting in an early end to the night for me in order to get back home again...   However I was able to see Needle Poppets and Birthrite perform (pics below), as well as catching some of the burlesque and boylesque acts (no pics in case you go blind!)

And so ends the last public event of this year, though as I mentioned last week, there are already  a couple of things in the pipeline for next year...  

Less publicly, next week I shall be undertaking a meerkat experience, during which time I will be trying to restrain myself from any random Jimi Hendrix quotes** (or even Johnny Morris*** quotes)...  then it will be full steam ahead on the next essay for my Masters degree....   so stay tuned for photographs of unbearable cuteness next week.  Oh, and there may be some of the meerkats too...

** “Are you experienced?”
*** Johnny Morris was a children’s entertainer, who entertained mostly by doing voiceovers on clips of animals, interpreting what the animal might be saying, on a TV programme called Animal Magic.  Many children grew up with the knowledge that every animal possessed the same dulcet tones as Johnny Morris.
