The lights, they are dimming, it's time to go on,
I'm excited and nervous, where's the alcohol gone.
Time to be brave, remember all that we're taught,
"Captivate, Enticement" that's on the ticket they bought
Lashings of make up, stockings are hitched
I really wish the lace didn't itch!
With sequins on pasties, eyelashes glued,
Is Burlesque about.... chicks getting nude?
Curiosity peeking, the crowd starts to cheer
Last minute adjustments, get up those stairs!
With Spotlight directed, smile fixed on my face
A gleam in eye, music set to embrace..
The act was a highlight, one to remember
You've not seen the last of Miss Sassy Penders!

Well okay, not quite the circus, but I've certainly developed a refreshed love of performing arts and entertainment.
I've mentioned in my blog before, that I have been pursuing a new interest in burlesque, well I'm very excited to report, that my graduation show case is on the 31st of July, and my new alter ego Miss Sassy Penders (Sass "parAli" Penders) will be performing.
This has been a great boost, over such a stressful time in Christchurch, and something new and different to pour my energy into.
Look forward to catching up again soon, I just liked my little poem, and was excited to share LOL
