Burlesque Ball & News Paper Clipping


Last weekend at spur of the moment I bought a ticket to the burlesque ball. I really wanted to go but thought the tickets were a little too much to spurge on while I am saving to pay uni fees but my very persuasive friend Stacy convinced me that I needed to go.

I only had two days to put together an outfit to wear but I think I did quite well as I won best dressed and a prize of $750 worth of vouchers. 

AND today a friend came in to uni and had asked if I’d seen the paper because I was in it! So many people asked for my photo that night but I never imagined this. Gosh, what a surprise. Just as well too, because I forgot to get a photo of myself again.  If only I could find someone who took photos of my Siamese twin costume.
