Last night we had our first event at Kiku Boutique in the Northern Quarter in Manchester. TT member Jayne had a fab night:
"When I saw the Thirsty Thursday Event listing Corsets and Burlesque, I already had an image in my mind! I was more interested in the Burlesque side, as I think I secretly hanker after showing off in seductive under wear, thinking I am a poor man’s Dita Von Teese! I find the whole red lips and curvaceous women thing fascinating and was really excited at the prospect of being shown some sexy moves.
I was not disappointed. The event was held at Kiku in Tib Street and is an absolute delight of a girly shop. I defy anybody to enter the shop and not give out an audible sigh of pleasure! I have never seen so many corsets, nipple tassels, which I now know are known as pasties., and gorgeous silk underwear. I tried a black and white corset over a little gypsy top. These are known as under bust corsets, as I have not been blessed with a larger bosom. My word, did they look good. Where have those babies been hiding. I had wonderfully shaped boobs and the tiniest 26” waist. I just wanted to walk down the street in my pencil skirt, 6 inch heels and my 26” waist and yell, “look at me, I am all woman” . The beauty of these corsets are that you can dress them up or down, under a jacket with trousers or as I tried with a pencil skirt. I was gutted to have to put on my ordinary outfit back on, as I really wanted to go out in my corset, it was like stepping into a movie."
Fab night, we had Cosmopolitans, Rocky Roads, fab homemade samosas, and with a fantastic performance from the gorgeous Bambi le Beau we even learned a few key moves to practice at home. Thanks Lynn for a top night, we will be back again soon.
