my footprint is large and made of carbon (and glitter)

Current Location: London, England

You may know me as either Helen or Trixi Tassels, depending on the volume of glitter and Swarovski crystals I was adorned with at the time.

Either way, I was bitten by the travelling bug as a teenager in New Zealand and after languishing in the most isolated capital city in the world for four years, decided to pack up my sequins and do a spot of globe-trotting before settling down in London, England for a couple of years.

I mustn't be too down on Perth though, as that was where Trixi Tassels was born: tassel twirler, fire eater, darling of deshabille. Sugar Blue Burlesque nurtured my love of all things shiny and/or on fire and have provided a stepping stone for me into the international world of burlesque.

So, follow me as I intrepidly explore far corners of the planet, busting out my tassels where I can and otherwise just having a grand old time.

Holla at me

Bowler Hats Ahoy!

I have just finished a new cabaret chair dance and the bowler hat was the last item I needed to make the act complete. I found this beauty on Berwick Street tonight and I am so happy with it! It fits beautifully and is really comfy. My plan is to debut this act Saturday night at Proud Brighton Ballroom, all going according to plan!
