Burgh Island Valentine’s Weekend – Part 1


I was thrilled to once again perform at this gorgeous Art Deco hotel! It has been around 5 or 6 years since I was last there and was the 1st Burlesque dancer to perform at the hotel.

I thought I would share some of my photos with you and have more to come!

  1. Sigh. This looks wonderful, simply wonderful!! I have longed for many years to visit Burgh Island – my top pick would be the suite where Christie stayed and wrote Evil Under the Sun, but last time I checked it was £600 a night so I don’t think that will be happening unless we win the lottery!! You are looking divine – I love the 1920 pose in particular. P x
