Fantastic pics from our last show by the awesome Miss MOth Photographic Arts. Miss Moth has been with us since we hit the grand all those years ago and has been providing you all with these amazing memories of our shows. We love you Miss Moth (head over to her page - there is the full set of images over there!)

And what a line-up to go out on! We had burlesque tour-de-force Havana Hurricane, the gorgeous Kimmy Von Shimmy, he had us all in a spin - and himself, with those impossible side aerials - it was Enigma Variations, the delicious Meena Helvetia brought some Latin spirit, we also had Lotus sisters and our awesome Cariad Cwtch showed us where to keep the hairspray...

As usual, the night was tied up neatly by our gorgeous DeeDee DeLa Rouge, with Dawn. And these two have been so AWESOME over the years. Without these two, we wouldn't have a show!
..And that goes for everyone of you who came out to this one - and who came out to all our shows! Without you, the lovely audience, we wouldn't have a show. So thank you for always being awesome and giving our international performers the best welcome ever!

Well, what can we say? Our last regular show certainly went out with a bang (and we're not talking about the party poppers you all exploded at the end of the night!).

We had stunning headline action from the burlesque whirlwind Havana Hurricane, we were mesmerised by the darkly seductive Kimmy Von Shimmy, blown away by the acrobatic talents of the elegant and stauesque boylesque Enigma Variations, Meena Helvetia got us fired up with her hot latin st******se, The Lotus Sisters Belly Dance Company performed a folklloric sword balance of good luck, Cariad Cwtch took us down the labyrinth for a blast of hairspray and DeeDee tie it all together with her sharp wit and glamour.

We must say a massive thank you to all the team at Swansea Grand Theatre especially Caroline and the tech duo Steve and PAul for a brilliant night. Also Boosh Salon for DeeDee's hair, and Panshee for always being awesome, waiting for our casts and crew and for the deliciousness.

The biggest thanks goes to you all for coming! And not just to this show. Thank you all for being the best dressed, most appreciative audiences ever! We love you! And without you, we would not exist.

We're going on a bit of a hiatus for now, as we need a little break to gather ourselves but we will be back.

It's tomorrow! It's our last show (for a while, anyway) and we have a couple more acts to introduce you to, starting with the beautiful Meena Helvetia! Hailing all the way from Liverpool - but she's actually Swiss, we have Meena Helvetia. A student of the magnificent Millie Dollar, this performer is certainly one to watch - and she only just made her debut onto the scene in August! [ 78 more words ]

We love a boylesque performer at Bluestocking - and we know you do too (in fact, we love all kinds of performers - we go wild for everyone on our carefully put together bills, just so you know!). And Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a bit of boylesque! We have a unique performer who has never graced the Bluestocking stage before - step forwards Enigma Variations! [ 181 more words ]

With a week to go until our seasonal shindig, we thought we'd roll lout another of the fabulous artists we have lined up for you lovely lot - so here is Kimmy Von Shimmy! With acts rooted in classic st******se, Kimmy Von Shimmy has curves to die for and, according to her website kimmyvonshimmy.com she enjoys representing "the sensual woman of size". [ 184 more words ]

With our Seasonal show hitting the stage next Saturday 15th, we thought it was high time we wheeled out a few of the performers you'll be seeing a lot more of next week, starting with our awesome headliner Havana Hurricane. It's no secret we bloody love Havana Hurricane. She caused a storm last time she hit our stage a couple of years ago and now this blonde bombshell is back to unleash her glittering cyclone once more.

We loved our October show! From the astounding and dark talents of Joe Black (we can NEVER listen to 'When I'm cleaning Windows' in the same way ever again!) to arran Shurvinton's Spellbinding Nosferatu, we had Primrose Proper's very naughty Godiva, Flossie Small's awesome Fawn, a delicious artichoke from Dainty Dorine and those luscious lovelies from Lazeeza. All topped off by our awesome Deedee with Teezy Overeasy.

A MASSIVE thanks to everyone who braved the floods of wales to get to the show on Saturday! So many people to thank but let's start with our beautiful cast - the wonderful Joe Black and Arran Shurvinton who battled the M25 then M4 - with massive problems on both, arriving just as you lovely audience were taking your seats. So professional and calm throughout, and you would never have known they'd literally just got out of their car and into a costume before they hit the stage... Massive thanks also to the lovely Flossie Smalls - so happy to see the fawn back on stage (we love it!), to Primrose Proper - love a bit of medieval Godiva action! Dainty Dorine and her delicious artichoke, Lazeeza Swansea - love these cheeky birds! Also our beautiful DeeDee, this time accompanied by our lovely Tessa Versay (Teasy overeasy), to Boosh Salon for Dee's fabrulous barnet, to Nik and our Dawn, Miss Moth Photographic Arts and to Greg Steve caroline and the rest of the Swansea Grand Theatre staff...

YES! Tickets are on sale now for our December 15 show. Which (hankies at the ready) will be our last regular show. So make sure you are there!

We can't thank you enough for the support you have shown us over the 9 years! But with a lot of stuff happening that needs my full attention, I feel I need to take a break from producing shows for a while. You can rest assured though, our December show will be a lively one, not to be missed X
