Burlesque Inspiration : Bollywood

 

Madhuri Dixit-Nene in Khalnayak

If I could live my life like a musical I would want it to be a Bollywood movie.  Every time I needed to proclaim my love for my boyfriend or need to pray for rain, I want a fully choreographed eight minute long dance sequence complete with women  dressed in gorgeous  saris and lots of drums!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely love the picture up top. It’s from a movie called Khalnyak . I haven’t seen it yet but I loooooove the dance sequence.  The song is called '”Cholie Ke Peeche Kya Hai” which means “What’s behind the blouse?'”  I want to wear that outfit everyday.

I will dance on a train.

Go rent Lagaan right now!! It makes the game of cricket interesting.

Burlesque Noir has a Bollywood themed piece called “Saggy Paneer” but it’s not loading on Youtube. :( Rude.

Instead, pictures to inspire!

We’re the dancers.

Hi, I’m gorgeous.

Video made of win. Bollywood disco done right by my girl M.I.A.


The original song which M.I.A. sampled. It's made of LOL!

My next burlesque costume.

Seriously.

Found this on Litter’s blog (P.S. go check out their bling. It’s fucking awesome I often share their posts). Well, it’s off to the craft/thrift store for me ;)

Costume Inspiration: Peacock feathers

Or big cock feathers as my boyfriends niece would say.
I absolutley love the colors and shape of peacock feathers. They make any blah outfit pop and this seasons feather trend is featuring fantastic peacock feather accessories.
I just ordered a package of 24 feathers for $7.99 from Oreintal Trading. I can't wait to cut them up and make hair/shoe clips, earrings, necklaces, and maybe a fan.


Here's some awesome burlesque costumes and accessories using peacock feathers.

Cathrine D'Lish and her amazing dress. She made it herself.

While I am not a fan of feathers + spirit gum , these look stunning and are sold out. :(

There are many many more peacock products. I wish those feathers would hurry up and get here. I'm ready to craft.

Costume and Life Inspiration: Rick James

Bitch.

Ever since I cut my hair, I've been noticing the similarities between myself and the notorious Rick James.

I need these boots!!

Do you see it? I see it. 

These costumes are screaming to be in my possession.  Anytime there is a white chick in a thong with horns and fur n' leatha ankelets, you know a party is going on. There will be no sadness. Only celebration bitches!!

And I can't forget about the studded jumpsuit that is worn throughout the Super Freak video. I can't embed the video. 

Makeup Inspiration: Christian Dior and John Galliano

I am loving the gold highlight above the lip. I can't wait to break this out either for a night on the town or for a show.


I also like the softer highlight on the Christian Dior model.

This will probably be the only time I post about Britney Spears. But check out her Dsquared2 costumes from her Circus Tour. I love. The Cut has a slide show.
