"I just found this in one of my old work notebooks. I think I drew it around the time that I realized I hate customer service. I find it both funny and TOTALLY TRUE!" (A V Phibes) See, you'd think that a precious career in social care and mental health would make you, like, a people person. But actually, its very hard to take people seriously because OMGWTFBBQ the pants are WRONG when you've previously specialised in working with abuse . . . its just not high on my scale of adrenline inducing crises. That said I get very distressed about samples being wrong. Just so we're clear, I am aware lingerie is a serious business ;) Also, I like things to be filed chromatically, and it really does my head in if you wear mismatched patterns, like two types of pin stripes or several flavours of leopard print all together. It makes me twitchy. So I guess we all have our |

I'm sorting stuff out and have a GIANT pile of very silly hair fall type things, more tubular crin than you can shake a stick at plus dreads, roving, wool, foam and rexlace and all sorts of really random stuff . . . any of you want it? Free to people who can turn up and take it away before Saturday! I'm near the Whittington park on Holloway Road, Archway. |

 Meet one of our retailers, the fabulous Circa Vintage shop in Australia. Most of what they sell is actual vintage items, but vintage lingerie can be problematic in various ways (quite apart from anything else its hard to get a full set) so she likes to sell our styles along side her gorgeous gowns. Right now she is the only retailer in Australia with our new styles, so definately worth a visit! She rather sweetly wrote about us when the goods arrived. Meanwhile, Oligoville, "an online social network and shopping site that unites music and fashion lovers everywhere into one exciting community" requested an interview for their 10 minutes with feature. It's a mix of serious and silly questions, and the site as a whole is a great mix of fashion news and entertainment, with a marked tendency to make me want to go shopping. But then the first time I saw it they did feature shoes, which are my fatal weakness. Last but not least, I'm so excited to be going to a Roller Derby event! Roll Britannia is the first European Roller Derby event, at Earls Court on the 18th and 19th July. I'm not even going to try to explain Roller Derby here, but its an all woman sport, its pretty new in the UK, its fast, furious, feminist, and full of my friends, so really, we had to go! We're sponsoring the event with raffle prizes and we'll have a stand there too, so make a day of it and say hello.  |

Sassy songs, carry-on comedy and slick choreography means there really is something for everyone! Magic and comedy from compere, Mr Christian Lee (9th and 23rd) And a very special guest performance from our Kitten's Got Talent winner, Alana Royale!

As we're partly based in Sheffield, we like to get out and about in the north of England, as well as sponsoring the Kitten Club in London. So keep an eye our for Sofire Rosa, a turkish dancer and burlesque star, and Lady Voix De Ville, a compere and our fabulous staff member at many shows and for Hepburn and Leigh. This is them at the Wetspot in Leeds. Sofire is wearing the blue Sirena, the Van Mimi bolero, and a Playful Promises Treasure Me underbust corset. Lady Voix is wearing a black Alouette bra that she bejewelled, bedezalled and beribboned, with a Lulu and Lush underbust and fascinator. Plus crazy eyelashes, I haven't asked where they found those! Sofire is due to be on Donvans Darlings over the next few days, and to be performing at the Kissy Kat Club on Sunday in Portsmouth. The latter is run by the rather fabulous Willow Blue, who I keep expecting to do some sort of crockery based routine, but sadly this is not the case. Its worth tracking Sofire down, because, as with the Kitten Club, she carries with her the odd free gift and a fair few discounts . . . plus of course she is an amazing dancer. She does one routine that involves tiny tealights, which is gorgeous, but because of risk assessments, is inevitably accompanied in clubs by the rather offputting sight of a very large security staff member holding a very small fire extinguisher! |

I should just explain that you will intermittently get random posts about this from me because I spent several years specialising in working with survivors of domestic abuse, both adults and children. Awesome domestic violence advert: http://copyranter.blogspot.com/2009/0 Comparison of how male and females who kill their partners are treated and sentenced: Comment on the above linking it to research on gender based attribution of emotions.

I have a box of stuff that should've been sent to London today but didn't go. Same day delivery costs a fortune. Its for the Kittens Got Talent show, It would be cheaper to just pay for a train ticket for someone to get down there with it, go see the show, stay at ours (we're away, my brother is there) and then return to sheffield! Anyone interested? |

You, the audience, will get an exclusive, premiere performance and the opportunity to vote for your favourite act! The winner will then be invited to ‘purrform' with the The Kitten Club at their next show and win various goodies to help them put their best paw forward on the glittery path of their Burlesque career.

With many credits and accolades including two West End runs, a variety of famous friends and fans and some of the most glamorous sought after sponsors in the business. Original, diverse and highly entertaining, they offer a true insight into the roots of Burlesque Cabaret at its finest and cheekiest. This glamorous exciting evening will also be sparkled up with classic Kitten Club performances from Mummy Kitten herself, the glorious Delores Deluxe, terrifying acts from that fire-eating, fearsome feline, Vixen de Ville and hosted by the inimitable Mr Toby Longworth. Kittens Got Talent promises to be a glorious fun-filled evening - perfect for parties, hens or anyone who's just had enough of Saturday night reality TV! Come play, and have your say!

http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/t Not quite sure why this is in the entertainment section, but if you have an interest in psychiatry/medication/diagnosis this is worth a read. I could quibble with the intro statement about CBT being the dominant model of practice these days, but it would take too long :) |

I get messages through our website quite regularly, mostly product queries (after last year when we had a glut of XL's, this year we've run out in alot of styles, so we've had a spate of "where can I get this style in an XL?" messages, which we can now answer due to a handy bit in the software that lets us pick a product then see which retailers we sold it too). But we also inevitably get spam. Usually glamour photographers or really dodgy link exchange schemes, sometimes manufacturers. This is one of the latter, in fabulously phrased odd English, and I particularly enjoyed this phrase: "We are pleasure to obtained your information from our government." Yes. I'm sure in no way did you just randomly search for lingerie people and then shovel messages into their contact page. ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Dear Sir/Madam, How are you! And wish you have a good day today! Firstly, please permit me to introduce our company. As a professional manufacturer and exporter of underwear for many years, our company is pleasure to provide all kinds of services for your brand or designed products, include bra, panties, briefs, boxer, shapewear, swimsuit, sleepwear, sexy lingerie etc. We are wishing with our sincere attitude,competitive price and high quality to get your trust, and on this basis, to achieve the win-win between us. If you have any inquiry, please feel free to contact us. Best regards ----------------------------- In the interests of fairness I should point out that I cannot even manage this level of message in a language I studied for five years, though. |

I would like to say that I am still awake because ever since watching Eurovision I've been assaulted by this image every time I shut my eyes:
and the urge to run, screaming, round the house shouting "WHY ALBANIA WHY!" But in fact its the sort of crazy I watch Eurovision for. Plus at least this year we weren't embarrassingly bad. So actually I'm up late writing stuff I should have done in the day, rather than talking to my mum about sex, gardening, drugs, and employment law, and talking to Morgana about cake recipes. Happily the latter counts as work. No, really! |

I am listening to any questions and it is very, very shouty. The UKIP bloke is definitely the shoutiest. I can't help feel its quite unnecessary, even when talking about MP's being scamming bastards. |
