There are many types of glitters and there are many uses for glitter. In burlesque it can range from decorating your shoes with glitter, to using body glitter or preparing a glitter dump as a part of your act. If it is going to be flying through the air in any way, you must never use 'craft' glitter. It has sharp shards of metallic substances that can scratch or gash eyes and sensitive skin. It is not designed to be in contact with the body in any way and is used only for things such as wardrobe or props. CRAFT GLITTER Glitter for crafting can range from large flakes to fine dust. Craft glitters are poly coated dyes rather than poly coated (and sealed) cosmetic grade pigments. There are large and small chunk sizes, as well as glue with glitter already embedded in it. I found an amazing selection of craft glitters at 'Columbia Art and Crafts" [1515 East Burnside Street, Portland, OR 97214-1452(503) 232-2216]. GLITTER FOR SPRINKLING When using decor

Frankie Tease sat down to talk with Matt Adamik about Ohio, New Orleans, photography gear, getting that perfect shot, and shooting burlesque shows. You might be surprised that a guy so quiet had a lot to say.  FT: How long have you been shooting cameras?

Especially film cameras, I can sit there and play with broken lenses all day long. FT: Do you fix cameras? MA:  I fix my own gear as much as I can, if I can't fix it for myself I can walk into a shop and tell them what's wrong. FT: So you've been using film for most of your photography career and then recently switched to digital. When did that switch happen? MA:  I started shooting digital in 2006,

If you're new to show business, you will be new to the idea that Photographers are artists too. Just like you wouldn't want an image of you displayed without a name, photogs also take pride in the work and time that was put into capturing an image. The laws surrounding photo imaging, reproduction, and use of images can be very complicated and confusing. This  how to burlesque  is dedicated to side-stepping any issues surrounding use of photos and I hope you find it useful. Photography of a subject is usually handled with a simple  'model release' form . This document is signed by the subject or performer and specifies what the subject or model will allow the photographer to do with the photos taken. Model release forms are easy to print or create in person. They should simply state the desired purpose and distribution intended for the photo, who can use it, and where it can be redistributed. Paying a photographer is another way to get the full rights to a photo
