You may remember the jungle shoot from about a month back?

Do check out the whole series over at our BITTY-BLOG!
And you can see the new IBTC-crew perform together for the first time tonight at Kokonut Kult's Demon Night in Kokomo! And a bunch of other great performers so some might say this'd be an event one would not want to miss...
Last Saturday I spent in the habour and later at a great rocking gig in town, but this is what a few Saturdays ago as looked trough my phone:
09:00 - I wake up and start pin-curling my hair for a gig at a wedding I will have in the evening. I thought it'd be a lot faster now that my hair is short, but I need to make the curls smaller in order for the to actually be curly and not just a little bent. Alas, my arms still get tired during the procedure...
10:00 - do about an hour of yoga out in the garden. The cats are as awlays very eager to join.
11:00 - pick some left over wineberries to put on my breakfast sour milk.I wish I'd have had the time to pick some earlier are out in the freezer. (But the freezer did break down recently so good thing in the end I did not pick those berries on time; it would've pissed me off big time to have seen them ruined!)
12:00 - We're about to head back to town and I say goodbye to the lambs. They get to stay out all summer and are re-located a bit according to how fast they eat the vegetation up. Right now the female lambs are just outside our house.
13:00 - Driving home trough summery fields.
14:00 - Change of plans! Since somebody's ex wife has a little different way of comprehending schedule and agreements than the rest of the world we have the kids arriving a few days earlier to us rather sudden and need to re-organize everything and change the dinner plans I had with my sister; we'll do take away in stead and have it at our place after our show - which means a quick tidying up and cleaning! (PS: the bottle does say NON-toxic cleaning, although the picture tells it a little different :)
15:00 - Still panic-cleaning...
16:00 - Packing for our gig! I'll be doing my old Finnish movie summer themed number and Eddi will be part of the show too.Last time we did said number was in July a year ago.
17:00 - my sister and her hubby has agreed to do some extempore babysitting during our show. Here's their little Lily dog with it's huge bone! Lily is quite the hit with the kids, serving as a never ending source of fascination...
18:00 - Arriving at the veune before all the guests and hiding away backstage as we are suprise perfomers. Sir Willy Waterlily, Mis Sandy Jungle and Lola Vanilla are also performing tonight which means quality time make-upping and hanging out.
19:00 - Stil waiting... Here's lovely miss Jungle.
And Lola Vanilla, drag queen extraordinaire.
The staff at the place is great; we've performed there often at different events. They send us up some bubbly.
Showtime! Here's me and my co-star just about to go on stage. And oh yes I do this number to some good ol' rautalanka; my favorite.
Back home; pick up children sister and boyfriend and have lots and lots of sushi. And edamame and kimchi and wine and I'm telling you; I could have this every second day, at least!
A while after this I fall asleep on the couch.
Last week the new Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret crew had an outdoor photo shoot.
Emma shot us wild jungle girls.
Afterwards we headed out to town and met up Ina at the Tiki Thursday club. (Although pretty much every day is tiki-day at the Tiki bar of course... We'll have our next show there August 25th at the Kokonut Kult club! With a brand new demonic act!)
But this time we left the eeeevil shaking for later and just treated ourselves to those nice tropical cocktails.
And I added a parasol to my huge hairdo (which I tell you is not possible to make out of my own hair alone) for a little tiki flair.
With the Bitties on town.
Zombie Marilyn.
Creepy Marily'ns skirt is eternally blowing on a parking lot in Vegas.
We did some show girl-shopping.
Before the show, byt the pool (pic by Aino).
Some minor sunbathing with Tinker Bell.
Now as some of you may remember the reason for us not doing this whole trip in autumn as first planned was the fact that we attended and performed at the Burlesque Hall of Fame. For more and proper pictures of that you will have to search the realms of the internet.
Tiki drinks after the wedding. I might post some more wedding pictures once I receivve them and get them organized.
Ta-taa! Playful Promises will soon have a new range of retrolicious knickers; the Showgirl panties - and, you guessed it, one of you will have the chance to win yourself a pair of candy cotton soft pink wonderfully frilly Lola-panties!
The panties come in an satin embroidered bag.

Some time ago Vera De Vil I had the pleasure of doing an oriental inspired shoot with Kaylin Idora while she was here from New Orelans!
You can view the whole set here.
And, speaking of New Orelans, as some of you know I will be going there this summer! Trahsy Diva live shopping, yey!
I will also visit Austin and Miami, at least. But most of all; Las Vegas! As many of you also know already that is beacuse The Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret will be performing at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in June!
...and whilst speaking of burlesque again, the Itty-Bitty Tease has some new times ahead after Vegas and it's official today: you can read about the changes in our Bitty-blog!
But, back to the pictures; Tinker Bell also did a rather magical outdoor shoot with Kaylin, the set can be seen here.
Our second group shot from the Helsinki Burlesque Festival by Atelieri O.Haapala; The Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret's wild evil tigresses. We look pretty well tamed in the picture though...
You can view all portraits on Atelieri's flickr.
One of our group shots from the Ateileri shooting at the Helsinki Burlesque Festival (as you could see in the video) earlier this month; The Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret : Surfin' Bird.
The Helsinki Burlesque Festival 2011 started today with the opening of Kerttu Malinens burlesque themed photo exhibition. She has been taking pictures on and off stage, backstage and on various locations for a couple of years. 
The exhibition is at Jukka Male museo in Kaapeli.
Lola Vanilla and Lola Vanilla.
Tinkerbell and Tinkerbell.
Fiona and Fiona.
Me and me! From this shoot.
Fiona and I were both wearing lots of glitter and sparkle.
And she was also wearing a hat of her own design, of course. I wore a vintage gold lamé dress that I got form my grandmother. And my sparkling shoes too, may I add. Like I said, lots of sparkle.
There are so many amazing photos, so I really recommend stopping by!
The exhibition is open from 30.1 to 27.2, nine to nine daily.
The master herself.
