Typical. The second I leave Canberra I get offered tickets to a burlesque show. As sad as I was to say no to such a fabulous evening the publicist contacted me and offered the tickets as a giveaway to my readers. So yay… I’m thrilled for you. Bastards. Here is all the info…

hmmmm, well, you would already know most of my secrets, dear smaggle face…..only other thing I could think of was posing in pretty much my underware for a friends band’s CD cover inserts and promo posters…..but that was before my boobs became a slave to a baby and are now heading to my knees….sigh…
Hmm, that would be following up on a dare to flash my b**bs at a panel van on the dark streets of Newcastle one night whilst out with a girlfriend. Not surprisingly, the van turned around and started following us down a deserted dark street. We squealed, threw off our shoes and ran like bats out of hell to the nearest security guard (2ks away at a train station). Provocative, yes – stupid, also!
Oh wow this is such a wonderful giveaway. My provocative thing makes me shudder now but in my first year of uni we had a scavenger hunt. One thing on the list was to get a photo naked in a public place. My group went out to Queanbeyan and got a photo under the Welcome to Canberra sign…nakie…ok I had my undies on cause I am a ladee (haha obviously not). Oh one of those things i would rather forget, and luckily the photos have gone missing too (i.e. possibly thrown into our woodfire). Oh yes and a Canberra dweller.
I have been in two short films. In one I was stripper, the other a hooker. Can someone say typecast?
ok im not entering but just wanted to say I saw this show last year and it was AMAZING. like nothing I was expecting
I was expecting a bit of sparkly tassled boob flash here and there and some cute dance moves in a martini glass
but this is an INTENSE theatre experience and left me gobsmacked. the ladies in this are so talented and amazing and thought-provoking and inspiring.
ok im done.. but yeah canberrians enter enter enter!!

ooo this show sounds great!! And i’m Canberran born and raised!
Let’s see, provocative…. there was the time I made out on a bed with a girlfriend of mine in a neon-lit entrance way to a house party. We were dressed as garden nymphs in sheer cotton nightdresses and wreaths of willow. We had vibrators, pearls and other lovely things strewn about, and we greeted guests from the glow of our makeshift boudoir as they came in…

So much to choose from. On a boring winter night in the Can, a dear friend and I photo copied our boobs – as you do, and mostly in the interests of science. Months later, mostly to annoy religious types, we all sold our souls to the campus newspaper at ANU’s O-week [NB: sold = exchanged for beer] at an event designed be provocative. To up the provocation, all the souls were auctioned by the paper to whoever could convince the editor it was a fair deal, so naturally, I used the photocopy of my boobs to purchase the soul of my dear partner (which I still have, it’s filed under “souls” along with our home loan documents). And in a wonderful demonstration of recycling, the photo copy was used as the back ground for some story they ran – there was a nipple on each page, it was delightful. Presumably, my soul is still out there somewhere, but the photocopier plate was warm, the beer was refreshing and several Christians cried – oh, and I have my partner’s soul, which is always handy.
