I had an interesting evening on Saturday at The Wardrobe in Leeds at their monthly burlesque and cabaret evening, the fantastically named Wet Spot. This was all a new experience for me, and made a real change from the usual grungy rockers from the Leeds music scene I’m used to photographing for The Sound Gallery. The lovely Ryvita Von Cheese was hostessing the evening and we were treated to some amazing performances by some of the top burlesque artists around. There was a real retro feel to proceedings, and everybody partied like it was 1949. ‘Twas all very cute and saucy and a little bit naughty, and the impeccably turned out ladies and gents in the audience had a blast. I must admit at first I felt a bit like this…
….but soon felt right at home and was happily snapping away.
