Went to a show last night at the Civic theatre in Cairns ... VERY different .. VERY uhhmmm .. how do I put it ... this show captured the attention of every male in the audience!
It was a comedy with slapstick AND nipple tassels. These perfromers of the La La Parlour combined sexy and comedy in a show called Tarnished .
They presented theatrical burlesque with rather revealing costumes ... cabaret with breathtaking circus skills.
Spent some time at our local show with my 2 grandsons and daughter yesterday.
Was a lovely sunny day too.
It's a once a year festivital where parents spend a fortune on their kids having fun on all of those stomach churning, whiz bang, spinning, swaying, upside down rides.
Jett took me on the Ferris Wheel and that was MY limit .. haha .. held my hand and said "just don't look down nannie".
This is ratbag Dustin having his little bit of fun ... took us 5 minutes to talk him into coming out so we could move on ...
At 9.45 last night a beautiful new life would have entered our world as Fran's dear Dad took his last breath and went to sleep.
Accepting.. Grieving .. Reflecting ... A long night of listening, learning, loving and comforting.
It is a beautiful crystal clear morning .. not a cloud in sight .. my wind chimes are tinkling in a soft gentle breeze and the birds are happily chirping.
We now have smiles instead of tears ... for today is about peace and thanks .. a celebration of a long and colourful life.
It is now 5.30pm on Saturday the 4th July and I am feeling really jittery.
Tonight is a VIP gala function in town ... gold invitations sent out to selected members of our community .. mainly the well to do's .. you know .. upper class.
The young brothers who are opening this function facility I have known since they were teenagers and they shared this dream of theirs with me a couple of years ago wanting to know what I thought . It was sort of our secret and I assured them it was a brilliant idea .. and well today is the reality of their vision.
They sent me one of their formal gold VIP invitations and I just put it aside thinking that is so sweet of them .. but I won't go as I would feel like a fish out of water.
But yesterday Seb and Grayson talked me into coming. So this morning I went out and bought myself a new outfit .. it is a ridgy didge formal event ... (Loves you would LOVE my new bling bling shoes) and Renee has just tizzied up my hair. So this is it .. I am going .. and I am so so SO nervous!!
I am taking big breaths ... gosh I shall be making small talk with "those" people ... a HUGE challenge for me as I really prefer to stay hidden away in my little haven.
Think I will go make myself a drink ... it just MAY relax me a little.
