The Devil in the Details

So at the last couple of practices we have been preparing for the up coming Halloween shows. I have had so much fun dreaming up routines and creating costumes. But it is not just the dancing or costumes you also have to have the right song. After pouring over tons of ideas, I found many burlesque-able songs with the Halloween twist. Here are seven I would like to take a stab at ;) :

Feed my Frankenstein -- Alice Cooper
Little Red Riding Hood -- Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs
Love Potion No.9 -- any version
Human Fly -- (but personally I think most of their songs are good)  The Cramps
Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon
Black magic woman - Santana
After dark - Tito and Tarantula

I think any song would be appropiate as long as you had a solid performance to back it up.


We also had fun thinking up cool pasties to go with our performances. I have included a little taste of the truely awesome pasties available on the net. I found all of these on etsy. The makers names are included with the picture.

Dirty Pretty Thingz

Sex on a Stitch

VOLAC Designs

Hexotica

This last one I found at random. I could not find any info on the maker.

I think if you can dream it up you can make it. Go to your local craft store and get creative.
