Amethyst Aspirations

February is well on it's way! It's still technically summer here in New Zealand but the weather hasn't been that consistent, so it helps looking at pretty things, kicking off our birthstone/rhinestone monthly mood boards with Amethyst Aspirations

We absolutely love the KTB photo set of Alyssa Kitt in her custom Flo Foxworthy "Lilac Moon" costume, she toured with this stunning act throughout Australia in the Australian Burlesque Festival, and we were very lucky to see it in action here last year when she performed in New Zealand. I'll do a February spotlight on this costume as it's so detailed and spectacular!

The vibes of classic showgirl, Sheree North, in her outrageous routine from 1955 film" How To Be Very Popular". I think I've done a few of these moves, and I might just steal some more!

Other exciting things this month are the Showgirl Markets that we're taking part in together with Venus Starr's School of Burlesque and Studio L'amour in our new location. We're also running a couple of classes alongside selling costumes and some of our stash! Visit our Facebook page for more info.


Happy Birthday to all the February babies!

2016: A Quick Recap

Before I jump right in, I'd like to start with a "Phew! I can't believe it's already February". The last 6 weeks have flown by with us moving into a new workroom. The dust and rhinestones are still settling and finding their right places, as we get into the groove for 2017.

My name is Ria and I have joined Flo this year as an all round assistant on this crazy Foxworthy journey, I'll do a proper introduction post about myself soon but first I'd like to catch you up on Flo's last year.

2016 was a really busy year as Flo took on fewer burlesque commissions to focus on a large commitment to work with Weta Workshop on film "Ghost in the Shell". Here is a great video interview where you can see the work the Weta crew did and catch Flo discussing the creation of Scarlett Johansson's Thermoptic Suit.

To top it off, Flo also placed 4th on 21st Century Burlesque's "Burlesque Top 50 2016: Non-Performer Chart", following behind other fellow costumier and friend, the wonderful Christina Manuge, who place first on the Non-Performer list. Congrats lady!

With the release of 21st Century Burlesque's "Burlesque Top 50 2016" we wanted to highlight a few of our lovely clients who were voted in as it sums up the year and makes up feel warm and fuzzy!
