What an awesome Bake Sale!

Wow! Despite the crummy weather, we had a great turnout for today's burlesque bake sale fundraiser at Pretty Things Boutique! We haven't done a count, but from a quick glance it looks like we made a significant dent in our fundraising goal. Toronto, here we come!

Thank you to the staff of Pretty Things for contributing some delicious goodies and making it feel like a party; and a big, BIG thanks to everyone who stopped in to buy treats and tip our beautiful dancers, Monique and Lulu! (I was supposed to dance, too, but I forgot the bottom half of my costume - oops!) Pictorial documentation to follow soon.

Don't forget that Halifax Strip Search is TOMORROW NIGHT! One lucky and talented performer will win a trip to Toronto to perform at the Toronto Burlesque Festival. We are really excited to see what all our contestants have in store, plus there will be games and fabulous prizes for the audience... and, of course, more baked goodies!

We are very proud to announce that seven (yes 7!) of Pink Velvet's performers have been accepted to perform at the Toronto Burlesque Festival this summer! We are so happy, and are especially excited for our road trip, which is only a month away.

But we need you help! We're hosting a number of fundraising events to ensure we get all the way to Toronto. We had a successful Bake Sale at Pretty Things Boutique this past weekend, followed by a Pancake Brunch hosted by Menz Bar. Next up is another Bake Sale!


This Saturday June 25 from 12pm to 3pm, Pretty Things Boutique will be hosting a Burlesque Bake Sale with all funds going to help cover the travel expenses of sending Halifax's own Pink Velvet Burlesque to the 2011 Toronto Burlesque Festival next month!

Stop by for some delicious goodies - you'll love our cupcakes! Not just treats for your tummy but treats for your eyes too; we'll also be having live burlesque performers in our store windows during the bake sale!

Rouge Fatale, Miss C, Kitty Le Coque, Mena Von Fleisch, Kay Licious, Lulu Lashes, Scarlett Sparks, and Buster Price will all be going up to show the world what Halifax burlesque is made of July 21 to July 24!
