One whirlwind after another!

And it just isn't going to slow down soon friends, no not at all!!!
Were you at the Mechanical Masquerade weekend before last? If you weren't you missed a great party. Not only was it a fabulous event, but it was also Katherine Lashe's birthday party! I did a number about torture just for her, and I made a great big cthulhu pinata for her that was of epic proportion!!! Wombat capture a picture of the act
Did you hear my good friend Ursula Undress made runner up in the Viva Las Vegas Competition? I know I just keep going on about it, but I think it's stellar, and I couldn't be more proud! I only wish I could have been there!

This week, I have a packed schedule, I just came back from a PACKED show at Frolicon performing for Momma D's house of Burlesque, then a fabulous after party at the abode de Sabrina Pandora, tonight is massage then lyra, I wouldn't bet for a second my poor little muscles are going to be very confused!

Then tomorrow is rehearsal with the Vauxhall players, and then Wednesday is my favorite night of the month!!! Atlanta Burlesque and Cabaret Club Meeting! YAY!!! I am hoping Ursula will be able to join us for a pop of the bubbly and a toast in her honor! (Crosses Fingers)

Thursday, I perform for Vagina Jenkin's Benefit to get her to London, then oh my, do I get to breathe for a second Friday??? Perhaps! But then Saturday is the student showcase and Cock-a-billy/ Chicken show! Sunday, it's back on the lyra for me, and I don't even want to think about the schedule for next week 'till I have to, rest assured at some point I will have to pack for Chicago for the Windy City Burlesque Festival,

then turn around and pack for Austin! April is going to be the death of the Talloolah Bird, I just know it!!!

All my love with crystal kisses!

Talloolah Love
"Sweetest 'T' in the South!"

Time to get a bit more personal

Don't get me wrong duckies, I do love a good blog update as much as the next gal, and I love writing all the columns that I do, but now, I think it's high time to add a little Talloolah flare to her personal pontificational don't you?

So here's a little highlight from this past weekend!


I performed with that lovely, that gracious, that force of nature, the Fabulous Mamma D in Charlotte. With her beautiful beauties and dashing gents, we partied the night away with a stellar valentease show that knocked more than socks off in the beautiful Visualite theatre. I performed again with the lovely Renea' Le Roux, the tantalizing Nicolette Tesla, the cute as a button miss Cherry Muffin, and the lovely Miss Gigi Boom made her stage debut as well! There were of course many others, they were all awesome, warm and gracious. I had a fantastic time, and can't wait to hit the stage with them again in the near future.

Tribute to narcissism? Why, I do not mind if I doo!!! Here are a few shots taken by Ron Tencati of yours truly:

and


Here's one with a real card,Ron Tencati and the beautimous Mamma D!


So onward and upward I always say my friends, and nothing's better than looking up to only five days ahead to begin to appreciate where things are headed! This weekend I take the stage with some good friends and kind company at the Vroom Vroom Valentine's show. This thing's got some velocity! So better hop on for the ride guys!


Hope to see you there! Get your tickets now so they are only $10! go to www.syrensofthesouth.com and order before 5pm Friday!!!

Sunday:
12pm Beyond Boobies, put some hep in your step! With Hotsie Totsie

After a decade of training in ballet, jazz, tap, modern, and Renaissance dancing, Hotise Totsie got hep to the jive. Now this burlesque baby puts some swing in her step! In Beyond Boobies, Hotsie will teach you how to borrow moves from the stars of the Cotton Club, the Folies Bergeres, the Vegas Strip, and the silver screen -- even if you have no formal dance experience. It's burlesque appeal with or without the reveal! The class is open to guys and dolls. Wear clothes you can move in --high heels, if you can handle them!

2pm They shimmied, they smoked, they spooned, and they sizzled. They cut their hair short and their hemlines shorter. And when the depression hit, their bare skin raised spirits higher than the arch in their eyebrows. These were the bad girls of the twenties and thirties. This class will focus on the moves that grew out of the radical new styles of entertainment, dress, and behavior in the crazy decades between the Wars.

ABCs & 123s Burlesque Classes are $20 each or you can by a four class pass for $60, making each class only $15, saving you $20. Workshops do have a minimum attendance requirement, so if you plan to be there please send us an email to pre-register at syrensofthesouth@gmail.com no later than 5pm the Friday before the scheduled class if you have not already prepaid for the class or if you are planning on using a class pass. All classes are intended for ages 18+, all sexes, genders and sexual preferences unless otherwise noted. There is no nudity in any of our classes or productions.
