And a Happy New Year!


Celebrate safely tonight!

If you like this photo, pop over to my flickr pinup site and look at the set from which it comes, "Granny Panty's Wild New Year's Eve"!

Merry Christmas!

It's been a busy fall, but I promise to write an update soon!  Granny Panty's been a naughty girl, but she still hopes to find some STOCKINGS in her stocking!

Saturday, October 9, 2010

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted!

Granny's been caught up in a flurry of video-making for YouTube, live shows and benefits!  I wish I had time to do some more pinup photos, but my schedule this summer and early fall has also made that impossible.

So keep watching my YouTube channel this fall!  In September, the theme was "green" stripping -- burlesque you can do with materials you can find around your own house.  This month, October, my favorite month, it's "burlesque-grotesque" -- all the dark, goth, scary stuff I secretly love to do. 

I've received a lot of requests over the past months, so you'll start to see some special dedication videos go live in November.  Among them:  sheer nylon panty washing (while I'm wearing them!) and cake-sitting, part 2!  If you made a request or would like to make one, drop me a note on my YouTube channel.  If I use your idea I'll dedicate the video to you, plus I'll send it to you privately weeks or months before it goes live on my channel.

I hope you're having a lovely fall, or a lovely spring, depending on which side of the Equator you live! 

And France!  Ladies!  I love you!  47% of my viewers in France this last month indicate they are female!  That's my highest female to male viewership anywhere in the world!  Merci beaucoup et bisous, mes belles!

The last couple of weeks have been busy ones for taping.

I have ten new videos canned and waiting to go live on YouTube.  What is this creative frenzy Granny's experiencing?  Most of the new ones are "story" videos, but I hope they feature lingerie and stockings you'll enjoy.  One of them is the return of Granny Panty, Proprietress of Granny Panty's Charm and Etiquette School for Strippers in an exercise video! 

From my fan mail, it seems most of you enjoy the straight-on modeling videos most.  The part I enjoy most about making my videos is coming up with the scenarios, making the costumes and choosing the undies and stockings.  I guess you're just going to have to put up with the stories sometimes and hope for a straight-forward modeling video next week, huh?

And thanks for all your nice notes recently!  I'm glad you're enjoying the girdle and panty collection modeling videos.  Panty modeling was the viewers choice video.  So, remember:  I'm always taking suggestions, so drop me a line or a comment here!  I'd love to hear your ideas -- as long as they are within the boundaries of my performance capacities.

Friday, July 9, 2010

Today's video is completely different from my usual work.

I'm really, really proud of it.  You may have guessed, I'm just wee bit into erotic cosplay. Before I actually started making YouTube videos for my channel, this week's video is very close to what I imagined I wanted to eventually make. 

I still do have that fantasy of making many erotic videos in costumes and settings from my favorite paintings.  I don't know what it is about Pietro Longhi's paintings particularly, but they really turn me on.  "Casanova's Daughter" is my tribute to the painter and his work, and reveals a little about what I'm imagining when I'm looking at his work.

But, never fear!  For every "artistic" video I make for me, I seem to make two viewer suggestion videos.  So don't worry too much.  The nylons and satin panties and vintage undies will always return!  You know I enjoy them too much to give them up!

Friday, July 2, 2010

Preview of the readers' choice poll video


Darn YouTube and its music copyright police!
I can't use the music I performed to, tried a replacement track they won't allow either, and now I'm uploading my third try!  Since I generally use music that's over fifty years old in my videos, it's always frustrating when that happens.  And I'm pretty sure I could sell iTunes for many of these songs, since people commonly write me to ask about them.  They should give ME a percentage rather than muting my videos :)

When the video goes live, play "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" from the movie American in Paris if you want to see what I had in mind originally. 

If my third music replacement is successful, the video will go live later today.  Hope you enjoy, and thanks for your input!

Thursday, July 1, 2010

The poll has closed.

Your votes indicate that panty modeling is what you'd like to see.

Okay, I'll get right on it!  Keep watching on YouTube in the coming weeks!

I have about half a dozen new videos all canned just waiting to go live in addition to this one I'll tape for you.  Thanks for all your nice mail recently, by the way!  And thanks for all your views; one day recently there were 2,400 views!  Must have been that vintage girdle video!

Saturday, June 26, 2010

Still four days left to vote in the poll

...about the subject of an upcoming YouTube video!  Or drop me a line! 

I haven't been a very good blogger lately because I've been busy making videos.  I have at least half a dozen story videos ready to go live, but don't leave Granny up to her own devices entirely.  I love to have your input!

Wednesday, June 2, 2010

Time for another poll on future videos.

Okay, darling readers.  I have five videos canned and ready to release on YouTube.  But those are about the end of my current to-do list.  I have a couple of ideas waiting in the wings, but after that...

Time for viewer input!

Here are some good suggestions I've had.  I'll put them in the poll on the right side-bar.  But you know you can always make requests, and if they don't offend Granny's delicate sensibilities, I may do them.

1.  Uniform modeling show.
2.  Pie-ing.
3.  Coming clean about my stocking addiction by modeling my collection.
4.  Modeling my satin and retro see-through nylon granny panties.

Live performance shots from my last show now up on my flickr site!


I totally slaved away on this red and black Marie-Antoinette costume and tiny tricorn hat, only to take everything off in under three minutes to the tune of "Too Darn Hot."  My pasties were flame-shaped!  I really love this costume, and it was worth a week of sewing when it was finished.

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

The funniest thing about rehearsing a burlesque number...

is that you have to keep redressing over and over.  That's the most tiring part of practicing a number, not the dancing.  Since the many layers of the costume are all-important, it seems I spend more time practicing the timing of when a certain garment's coming off than I do on the actual movement.  Seriously, I've taken these panties off a dozen times to music tonight, rehearsing for Friday's live show!  And I had an electrical failure in a hand prop, and no time to replace it before the show, so that's out of the number.  Oh, well.  I'll just muddle through somehow, I guess!  I will be dropping clothes right and left, and that's probably what the audience cares about!

Live shot from a benefit Thursday night...

to help send some fabulous Austin, Texas, performers to Seattle for Freak Show-A-Go-Go.  It's pretty fun to give your stripper tips to charity!

Who wants CAKE?!

The cake-sitting video, "Granny Panty's Tea Party," goes live tomorrow on YouTube!

Monday, May 3, 2010

I was wearing this and we were filming...


when my air conditioner gave out.  Imagine what the repairman must have thought?  I would, of course, have had the dumb luck to have been wearing plastic clothes for a shoot in the heat!

But the "Barbarella machine" video is now taped and edited, and just waiting to go live on YouTube in the coming weeks!  Thanks, Babe Jaeger, for a fun shoot! 

Wednesday, April 28, 2010

Today GrannyPantyBurlesque channel's odometer went over 100,000 views

...on YouTube since it launched Christmas Eve!

Seriously:  thank you all so much for watching my videos.  Your interest will keep me making them, and dreaming up new costumes and ideas.  And thanks for your sweet comments.  Really.

This song reminds me of someone. Me.

Music by Kurt Weill, lyrics by Ira Gershwin
From the 1941 Broadway musical ''Lady in the Dark''.

There once was a girl named Jenny
Whose virtues were varied and many—
Excepting that she was inclined
Always to make up her mind;
And Jenny points a moral
With which you cannot quarrel—
As you will find.

Jenny made her mind up when she was three
She, herself, was going to trim the Christmas tree.
Christmas Eve she lit the candles—tossed the taper away.
Little Jenny was an orphan on Christmas Day.

Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find.
She lost one dad and mother,
A sister and a brother—
But she would make up her mind.

Jenny made her mind up when she was twelve
That into foreign languages she would delve;
But at seventeen to Vassar it was quite a blow
That in twenty-seven languages she couldn't say no.

Jenny made her mind up at twenty-two
To get herself a husband was the thing to do.
She got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs
And she got herself a husband—but he wasn't hers.

Jenny made her mind up at thirty-nine
She would take a trip to the Argentine.
She was only on vacation but the Latins agree
Jenny was the one who started the Good Neighbor Policy.

Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find.
Oh, passion doesn't vanish
In Portuguese or Spanish—
But she would make up her mind.

Jenny made her mind up at fifty-one
She would write her memoirs before she was done.
The very day her book was published, hist'ry relates
There were wives who shot their husbands in some thirty-three states.

Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find.
She could give cards and spade-ies
To many other ladies—
But she would make up her mind.

Jenny made her mind up at seventy-five
She would live to be the oldest woman alive.
But gin and rum and destiny play funny tricks,
And poor Jenny kicked the bucket at seventy-six.

Jenny points a moral
With which we cannot quarrel.
Makes a lot of common sense!

Jenny and her saga
Prove that you are gaga
If you don't keep sitting on the fence.

Jenny and her story
Point the way to glory
To all man and womankind.

Anyone with vision
Comes to this decision:
Don't make up—You shouldn't make up—
You mustn't make up—Oh, never make up—
Anyone with vision
Comes to this decision—
Don't make up your mind!

[Alternative refrains]

Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find.
To Jenny I'm beholden, her heart was big and golden—
But she would make up her mind.

Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find.
Deserved a bed of roses, but history discloses
That she would make up her mind.

****

And if I succeed with my plans to go to Buenos Aires to dance the tango for ten days next year in the tango bars, well...

Why am I suddenly taken with the idea of making...

a Barbarella-inspired Orgasmatron for a video?!

That's gonna take some doing!

But I think I want to.  I'm also reminded of that mysterious box the house guests in one of Edward Gorey's illustrated stories got into and "comported themselves shamelessly."

Sounds like fun to me! 

Friday, April 16, 2010

YouTube comments are so strange.

How is that most of you immediately understand what I'm doing, and understand the comic element of burlesque performance?  And understand, most of all, that it is just that:  PERFORMANCE.

But why do I sometimes get snarky notes from people disappointed that I'm not doing cinema verité and naturalistic documentation and taking me to task for that?  Is it because they're hard-core voyeurs and that's why they're surfing YouTube, not because they're just looking for a little innocent, titillating entertainment?  I sometimes get the feeling these folks would rather I just set up a camera outside my bedroom or bathroom window and let it run.  Now, what fun would there be in that for Granny Panty?  I wouldn't make videos if I didn't enjoy developing a premise for the action, making the costume, choreographing it, etc.

My goodness!  These folks should just go subscribe to someone's livecam if they want naked reality television!

Monday, April 12, 2010

Got caught up on documenting many of the costumes from upcoming videos yesterday.

Here's a preview.  Do you know who I'm impersonating?  One of my greatest childhood idols, Daisy Mae from Al Capp's comic strip, "L'il Abner."  It was a dream come true -- thanks, Babe Jaeger!

Monday, April 5, 2010

Oh, it was Uncle H and Melissa who requested cake-sitting!

They sent me a really nice note suggesting it some weeks ago. And Uncle H wrote today to say he's looking forward to the video.

Granny is learning all about this fun new fetish! Did you know it's called, variously, WAM ("wet and messy"), splosh or sploshing by some? Or just good-old fashioned straight-forward "cake sitting" by others? And that some people enjoy pie-ing? Guess I'll have to look into that one next! See, kids, you're never too old to learn something new, fun and exciting!

Uncle H asked how I liked it and how it felt, so, here goes: the cake was butter cream frosted, so it had been in the refrigerator, and it was really cool, wet and slippery. It felt (ahem!) extremely sensuous, and it oozed all over the place. It was like sitting my fanny down in a huge vat of cold cream!

Actually, sitting in it was, I have to admit, pretty thrilling, since it was a first for me! I think you'll see when the video goes live that I was having a lot of fun and really getting into it!

And, yes: there are other messier pictures...

Thanks for asking, Uncle H!

Cake sitting...


complete. Video just waiting in the wings to go live eventually on YouTube. I'm not telling you anything else!

Wednesday, March 31, 2010

Now, who was it who wrote me and requested...

cake-sitting?

If it was you, I may be able to help you out with that little kink of yours soon.

Stay tuned!

Saturday, March 27, 2010

Thanks for your input. The new video is up on YouTube!



And if it wasn't the one you hoped, the good news is all the others will go up, one every two weeks. And if you are really interested, you could always go over to StripCHEEZ.com and see if perhaps they have an exclusive not on YouTube...

I'm still loving being part of the StripCHEEZ community, and you really should check them out! I got a brass stripper pole today as a gift!

And I'm starting to work on new costumes for a still photo shoot I hope will be happening in the next couple of weeks. I have a really, really elaborate costume I'm going to start tomorrow that is a longtime dream. We'll see if Granny's sewing skills are equal to her fantasies!

Thursday, March 25, 2010

It's just so hard to decide.

It's time for a new video to go live on YouTube, but there are so many choices!

Sexy secretary.
When Granny was a French teacher.
Esther Williams homage.
Hillbilly gals.
Granny trains new maids.

Opinions, anyone?
Lots of new material just waiting in the wings to go live in the coming weeks!

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

I love this!

I was recently told by someone that her gynecologist had asked if she had a positive role model for menopause, post-menopause and aging.  She says she thought for a minute and then replied, "Yes!  Granny Panty, Mature Burlesque Artist"!  This makes me soooooooooooooooo happy!

Just remember, Bobs and Tinas, you never get too old to take it all off as long as you do it with style and class!

Five, count 'em, FIVE new videos

...taped this week and just hanging out, waiting to be released one at a time on YouTube later this spring!  Thanks, Babe Jaeger, for fabulous shoots!

Now that I've used up most of my ideas that were queuing up, I guess I better put my thinking cap back on, huh?

And, oh:  Granny Panty trains her new maid is one of the videos.  Remember that poll I had up here a few weeks ago asking for your input?

Final episode of "Charm and Etiquette School for Strippers" is up

...on YouTube!  And a little bonus material.  I'm sad to see the show come to an end, but I have to make way for all the new peepshows coming this spring!  Babe Jaeger and I shot three new videos over last weekend, and will shoot another couple next weekend.  If I can just find all the props I need, that is.  I need a moonshine jug and a pig, to start.  And I have to finish sewing new costumes! 

I put up a few photographs that were a side effect of this weekend's videotaping on my flickr today.  Immediately two of them got picked up by the "Accordion Lust" flickr site, which is fun!  The photos will give you a clue as to what one of the new videos is about.

And I got my first marriage proposal today on StripCHEEZ.com! I love those folks!  Where else, instead of tame old vanilla "favoriting," could your videos get you fabulous stripper gifts and swag like that?  And you get tipped in CHEEZbucks!  Granny Panty loves it!  Check them out!

And where the heck is The Isle of Man, anyway?  My YouTube stats tell me my videos are particularly popular there.  It's crazy, really.  My videos are viewed more in Europe than in the U.S., it seeems.  The new "Granny Panty, Mean Dominatrix" video got featured right away in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, and I see today it's now featured in the U.K., Belgium, France and the U.S.  Lots of people crave discipline, evidently!  Especially when served up with a laugh?

Friday, March 12, 2010

It's up! And it's pretty silly! Enjoy!

Granny Panty, Mean Dominatrix on YouTube

For a completely different viewing experience, try starting up the Velvet Underground's "Venus in Furs" simultaneously with the video.

Honestly, I must admit there were times when I was cracking myself up during the taping.

But the truth is this:  I know some of you naughty boys and girls really do want and need discipline.  And Granny Panty's the one to give it to you!

Monday, March 8, 2010

My arm is sore from making the dominatrix video.

But I love the way it turned out.

But I don't love the way that Lou Reed won't let me have the music I wanted as its soundtrack, or so YouTube informs me when I uploaded it.

Okay.  Well, back to the drawing board.  It will be even funnier when I drop in the music I've now decided to use.  Maybe it was a blessing in disguise?  You'll be able to decide once it goes up on YouTube at the end of the week.  Look for "Granny Panty, Mean Dominatrix" on the GrannyPantyBurlesque channel.

Sunday, March 7, 2010

Oh, my goodness! I've been named StripCheez's CHEEZStar of the day!

StripCheez
Go there to check out this fun site featuring comic burlesque and strip tease videos.

Live performance shots from my last show now up on my flickr site!

 

They're not so great due to my rose-colored lighting in live performance, but at least you get the idea.  It was a great show and I really enjoyed performing my number in front of a live audience.  Although it's fun performing on video, there's nothing like the energy coming off a real, live, breathing audience.  I love being egged on and feeling the love!

Thursday, March 4, 2010

Thinking about this upcoming weekend's video shoots.

I have a craving to make a dominatrix video.

What do you think?

If you loved me a lot you'd send me a contribution so I could get those 7-inch heel, patent leather front-lacing ballet boots I've been eyeing recently.

Friday, February 26, 2010

You better vote in the poll soon! Or write me a comment!

There are only two more days left in the current poll over there in the sidebar to your right about what Granny's next YouTube series should be about!  Please let me know what you'd like to see next, okay?

I'm definitely going to do a "Strippercise" exercise dvd, but that will probably be a separate project from YouTube.  So suggest away!  You know I love to hear from you and you give me good ideas!

And, yes:  I am still going to sit in a big frosted cake one of these days for a photo session or video.  Maybe right after I get through with the photo shoot where I'm wearing that special Easter costume I'm making.  And after the photo shoot where I'm wearing butterflies and very little else to celebrate the coming of spring!

Thursday, February 25, 2010

Hmm. I wonder what's going up on GrannyPantyBurlesque channel on YouTube tomorow?

After all, it will be Friday.  And Granny Panty's "Charm and Etiquette School for Strippers" has to take a little break before the graduation video airs to allow viewers time to submit their final exam videos.

Oh, yes!  Now I remember!  Granny Panty's homage to MARLENE DIETRICH goes up at some point tomorrow!  I hope you enjoy it, because I really enjoyed making it and it has been a fantasy of mine for some time to do it.
 Granny Panty's Homage to Dietrich
And an accompanying still photo shoot goes up on flickr.  Follow the link in the right sidebar!

Do you think the guy who owns American Apparel

... would take offense if he knew I'm making an Easter burlesque costume out of an American Apparel tank dress and ten yards of fringe, which I'm dyeing green?  I was in there the other day buying the dress and a couple of thongs and chatting with the nice young man who was ringing my purchase up, telling him American Apparel thongs are what I always use on stage and that they're the very best for my purposes.  He said he had a feeling a lot of strippers shop at American Apparel, because where else would you wear certain things like the aluminum foil-colored hot shorts that they sell?  I often laugh at the pictures on the American Apparel website catalog.  It's like the next generation is entirely made up of total hootchies!  And they've been running a pretty amusing "best male/female ass" contest recently, to find the owners of the derrières that will be their new models.

I think American Apparel should hire me as a senior citizen spokesmodel.  I can't tell you how much of their stuff I wear in real life or adapt for the stage; love the colors and simple designs.  But knowing that an elderly burlesquer is wearing the same clothes might be a buzzkill for the young hipsters!

This week at Granny Panty's Charm and Etiquette School for Strippers

How to Strip Out of Nearly Anything! 
click on the link to see the demo.

We're getting dangerously close to the end of the course!  Better catch up on your lessons, do your homework and get ready to submit your final exam video in response on YouTube.  Because if you do and I give you a passing grade on your number,  I will send you your very own personalized diploma certifying that you are a graduate of Granny Panty's Charm and Etiquette School for Strippers!

And I may even have t-shirts available to graduates for a modest cost to cover making them and postage and handling!

Saturday, February 13, 2010

Your valentine is now available for viewing on YouTube!

 

Follow the link in the right sidebar to my channel!

I'm doing a live show this weekend, so it's over and out for me now until Monday.  I hope you have a lovely, sexy, romantic St. Valentine's Day, and don't do anything I wouldn't do!  That means the possibilities are practically endless -- and you can even run around in public with heart-shaped pasties on like I'll be doing on stage tonight and tomorrow night!

Put make-up on, put stockings on...

get dressed, go to do a live show and get undressed again on stage. Such is the fabulous life of Granny Panty!

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

I didn't put this in the poll, but what about Granny Panty's STRIPPERCISE?

You know, 1980's style, and I can wear legwarmers:)
And it can be like Jane Fonda's workout video from back in the day!
And it could be my excuse to record a heavy breathing Serge Gainsbourg/Jane Birkin-inspired song to go with it!

Sunday, February 7, 2010

Hmm. What's Granny's next YouTube series going to be about, I wonder?


Please vote, okay?  You'll find a poll in the right sidebar.

I really want to know what you'd like to see next!

And I'm thinking of running a "Who Wants to Apply to be Granny Panty's Maid" contest, too.  Do you think anyone would be interested?

You know how much I love it when you play WITH me!  You're going to have a chance to submit your video in response to mine on YouTube soon, when we get to the end of "Granny Panty's Charm and Etiquette School for Strippers" here in a couple of weeks.  Or did I neglect to mention that before?

Thursday, February 4, 2010

It will be Friday in a few minutes, and you know what that means!

Some time tomorrow a new two-part episode of "Charm and Etiquette School for Strippers" goes up on YouTube!  This week:  tricks and tools of the trade!  Class, don't be late!

Tuesday, February 2, 2010

Granny Panty responds to probing questions from her readers and viewers

Q:  "Are you a man or a woman?"
A:  Oh, that's one of my favorite questions of all time!  Can I give you several responses?

Number 1:  Yes.
Number 2:  I am a LADY.
Number 3:  I hope I am what Gerard Depardieu once said Catherine Deneuve is.  "She is the man I always wanted to be," to paraphrase from his original remark in French.
Number 4 (the l980's response):  More woman than you'll ever have, and more man than you'll ever be!  (Don't you just love that?!  It's so MEAN!  People used to say that all the time to each other in the clubs Back in the Day.)

Don't you find this to be true of yourself, too?

This question makes me think of a lovely song -- do you know it?  "For Today I am a Boy" by Antony & The Johnsons.  I prefer it to Beyoncé's "If I Were a Boy."

Q:  "Are you gay, straight or bi?"
A:  Again, thank you so much for asking.  I am delighted you have observed that Granny Panty is still a sexual being at her age!  The answer is, resoundingly, YES!  And it entirely depends upon who it is I am having a relationship with, thank you.  Don't you find that to be true of yourself also?

Or do you think of yourself in percentages?  Someone once told me they were 86% straight or something like that.  A numerical value on the spectrum, in other words.  I thought that was cute.

One of my young friends recently remarked, "I assume everyone is gay until they come out to me as straight."  I love that.

Q:  "Have you had any 'work' done?"
A:  Hmm.  I had my tonsils out when I was nine.  And my impacted wisdom teeth removed.  That's all there is to report!

Q:  "Are you Lady Gaga's grandmother?"
A:  I am so flattered that you asked!  I don't think so, but then again, I do have two sons -- so who knows?!  Maybe she's my bastard granddaughter.  If so, I am deeply blessed!

Q:  "Would you consider making a video where at the end you somehow end up sitting smack in the middle of a big, white frosted cake?"
A:  YES!  Absolutely!  I love this idea!  Someday you'll probably see me doing just that on YouTube.

I love answering your questions and it makes me happy to know I sometimes pique your curiosity!  Ask away, and as long as your questions are sincere and respectful, I'll probably answer them!

If Coco Chanel had designed burlesque costumes

...do you think they might have looked something like this?

I don't even have a number in mind for this costume yet.  I just wanted to make it!

Sunday, January 31, 2010

Granny went to the best benefit ever last night...



in her black Marlene Dietrich tailcoat, black latex shorts and fishnets. And they had a SPANKING booth! Granny got three of the best spankings she ever got, all to benefit a deserving charity! My fanny feels great today, and I'm ready to be naughty all over again! Usually I'm the one dishing out the discipline, so this was a fun switch!

Friday, January 29, 2010

It's Friday, and you know what that means!

A new episode in Granny Panty's "Charm and Etiquette School for Strippers" goes live!  This week, Granny demonstrates (in the most lady-like way possible) the good old burlesque BUMP AND GRIND! I had a lot of fun making this episode, although we had to tape it twice due to a technical failure.

This weekend Babe Jaeger and I are going to do a new photo shoot and tie-in video for eventual airing on YouTube. I'm excited. It's a tribute to one of my all-time favorite movie stars!

And I'm in rehearsal for my mid-February live show these days. Wish me luck!

Monday, January 25, 2010

Thanks for all the kind words...

about the latest set of pinups with the silk stockings!


But, let me say that Granny cannot hold a candle to She who is the epitome of all a beautiful older woman should be.  Catherine Deneuve (pictured above in 2002, when she would have been 59)!  I will admit to harboring a terrific girl-crush for her, and I long have done!  There's a true beauty who constantly inspires me.  Sigh.  Hers is the face that could launch a thousand ships, a million fantasies!

J'aime cette femme!

Sunday, January 24, 2010

And the winner is...



Thanks, everyone who gave me their feedback and input!
This is the design that will be on the Charm and Etiquette School for Strippers diploma and t-shirts!

Babe Jaeger and I have been slaving away all afternoon...

photographing that new chaise lounge and those new silk stockings of mine.  Oh, yeah -- I'm wearing the stockings.  I didn't just drape them over the chaise lounge :)  Take a look at the new set up on my flickr site (see link in sidebar) and let me know what you think!  Just wish you could feel the stockings.  They are heavenly.  My darling blog readers get this extra picture!

Aside from the photo session, I've been making more new costumes for the show I'll be in in February and for another upcoming shoot.  I'm trying to imagine what a burlesque costume made by Coco Chanel would look like and then make it.  And I also made a costume that's a tribute to Gypsy Rose Lee!

Friday, January 22, 2010

Just back from stripper dance class!

It was fun tonight and a real hot, sweaty workout!

And now I need to start working out the choreography for my number in a show I'm in February 12 and 13.  I'm using Cole Porter's "Love for Sale" as the music.  I thought it was funny and ironic:  "Appetizing young love for sale..."  I'm using Shirley MacLaine's character Charity and Giuiletta Masina's character Cabiria as my inspirations.  You know, shopworn angels, hookers with hearts of gold.

I meant to tell you that my recent radio interview went well.  I think the hosts were a little surprised when I showed up in full burlesque costume, but what's a girl to do?  It was funny to see people at the radio station looking in the booth while the show was on the air, trying to figure out who on earth the dame with the pink feather boa was!  When the show's archived in a few days, I'll post the link here.   Heath, Steve and K8:  if you're reading, you are all dolls, and thanks so much for having me on!

And I've got to get everything ready for a special Valentine's Day photo shoot.  Darling readers, I have a brand new piece of FURNITURE to ride for you!

Sweet dreams now!

Making costumes because I'm going to be on the radio Tuesday...

and I can't very well go on without a new costume, now can I?  Can't disappoint the listeners.

Wait.  They can't see me, can they?

Oh, well!  I'm making new costumes anyway!  Any excuse, right?

New two-part episode of "Charm and Etiquette School for Strippers" is up

...and it's all about stockings!

Plus there's a new peepshow up -- very melodramatic.  I was inspired by Douglas Sirk and Lana Turner movies.

You fabulous UK stocking enthusiasts...




are rocking my flickr pin-up site with your dry humor.  Thanks for all the comments!  And, my goodness!  Over 2,000 hits in just twenty-four hours?  I know we have a six-hour time difference, but do you folks ever sleep over there?

And when you do, do you dream of stockings, like me?

I just uploaded a special picture I made just for you to the SHQ gallery featuring the same Cervin bi-color RHT stockings in the candid snapshot above.  Mister Z is giving me smucks when I finally came home from shooting a video yesterday here. 

Sweet dreams!

Oh, my goodness!

One of my youtube videos got a splash page "feature" on New Year's Eve and so I got nearly a thousand hits on my very first peepshow!  The Granny Panty Burlesque channel is off and running!

New episodes of "Charm and Etiquette School for Strippers" go live on Fridays -- until the series concludes after twelve episodes, that is!  I have several videos canned and waiting to be released already.

Thank you, so much, everyone who's watching!  I hope you're enjoying the videos just a fraction as much as I'm enjoying making them!   Click here if you need the URL
