B.A.B.E. Studio, 119 Braintree St., Allston, MA

- Fascinators (hair ornaments) are all the rage, worn by burlesque dancers and royal wedding guests alike! In this workshop that combines hands-on practice with discussion and display, you will create glamorous hair ornaments in the form of flower clips and feather fascinators! They're great for holiday presents too.
You will construct both a hair flower fit for a pin-up and a fascinator any showgirl would sport while we discuss and apply different techniques for building them on any budget. Decorate your creation with an array of materials, including glitter, trim, rhinestones and everything glitzy in between. Learn tricks to wearing hair ornaments and keeping them in place.
All of the supplies needed are provided in class. But please feel free to bring any materials you'd especially like to use or works in progress for guidance, too!

B.A.B.E. Studio, 119 Braintree St., Allston, MA

- Session #4: This week's move is Tassel Twirling -- the ultimate burlesque trick! You will need to bring pasties with tassels to class for this. We'll have a few pairs for sale. If you're uncomfortable appearing in just pasties, please wear a close-fitting tank-top under your bra and affix the pasties to that. It's harder to twirl, but we don't want anyone struggling beyond their comfort level.
Week Four's striptease lesson is Removing a Bra. Please bring a back-fastening bra to class. See the above note about pasties and comfort levels. That applies here too.
For extra fun, we'll be playing with Feather Boas, that quintessential burlesque accessory. If you have a boa, by all means bring it, but we'll also have some loner boas.
