Monday 28th March was the 'Burlesque' evening and what a great night we had! we prepped our beautiful model emily before the event started at 8pm she floated through the crowds with a beautiful agent provocateur corset and feather bustle and i created a forties inspired make-up to compliment her beautifully waved hair! myself and rachelle had a fantastic night topped off with a four course dinner at the shreaton park lane, it was amazing to be in the room prepping the models alongside icons such as beverley c andrew collinge,errol douglas to name but a few of course not forgetting our very own Ken...The models presented by other icons were also spectacular and some very avante garde!! the evening was completed by amazing burlesque dancers, what a treat!!
