Pastie-making 101: Super Easy and Fun!

Hi beauties! Now that Isle of Tease has wrapped, I can announce that i’m going to be offering this crafty, hands-on, beginner pastie-making class to a limited number of participants on Sunday, December 15th, in the Glanford area.

To register, please etransfer to sparkle@showgirlsparkle.com, including the name I might know you by!

You know what makes an awesome holiday gift? Sparkly nipples!!

The class fee will be $50.00, and will include everything you need to design and make a pair of basic tasselled pasties in your choice of size and colour.

I’d like to focus on basic round pasties for this class, as we made a variety of shapes and styles the first time around and ran out of tassel-making time.

I will also include fun paints and up to 2 gross of rhinestones per participant in your choice of size and colour to embellish your designs with, and if you want additional stones to really oomph up your design, they will be available for purchase.

If you could bring your own scissors, hot glue gun, and e6000 fabrifuse, that would be super, otherwise we can share.

You will leave with an awesome pair of your own pasties!

If financial barriers prevent you from attending, please reach out and we will get you a spot.

Class is open to anyone interested, but won’t be suitable for little ones.

Will also organize ride-sharing once we know who is attending.

My bona fides…
Vogue Mahone, proprietor of Showgirl Sparkle, has long been enamoured of all things glamorous, opulent, and colourful.

With a background in art, graphic design, and crafts, Vogue became a burlesque performer in Victoria BC in 2016, and soon fell in love with the costumes, culture, history and traditions of burlesque.

Her shop, Showgirl Sparkle, launched in January of 2017, and she has handcrafted hundreds of pairs of pasties since!. Her intricate pasties, headpieces, hair flowers, and the embellishing work she creates on clients’ costumes are now worn by performers all over the world! The online shop also carries over 50 colours of flatback rhinestones in various shapes and sizes for the “sparkle-it-yourselfers”.

Vogue also loves sharing her passion for rhinestoning and embellishing costumes by teaching her class “Rhinestone 101”

*This class series takes place on unceded land of the Lekwungen speaking peoples, commonly known today as the Esquimalt Songhees nation. We give gratitude to the indigenous leaders, the ancestors, and earth ambassadors for continuing the process of reconciliation and healing.*

Diving deeper into the Soul Seduction series, you are invited to embody your heArt through creating a prayerformance from the depth of your soul.

>Are you ready to bring your truth on stage to an audience?

>Are you ready to understand how to work with stage energy?

>Are you curious how media presence can be a tool for transformation?

>Are you ready to create a prayerformance offering for the world to see?

In this class, we will combine embodiment practices with performance technique in a safe container for you to receive and remember the power and potential that you are, both on and off the stage. You are encouraged to create a prayerformance that is intended to be shared in two special ways: A debut showcase, and a powerful video / photography event.

In Soul Seduction Part 1: The Art of Burlesque and Prayerformance, we collectively learn the important aspects of Primal energy, Intimacy, Sensuality, Sexuality, Seduction, and Prayerformance. Part 1 of this series is focused on reclaiming these energies for yourself, so that you know how to utilize them in every aspect of your life.

Soul Seduction Part 2: Your Story on Stage takes the inner reclamation into a new layer of opportunity where you will learn how to create a debut number from the delicious depth of your soul. Together, we will fuse all of the aspects of Part 1 into a unique prayerformance opportunity which will be showcased for your friends and family to see you in the fullness of your expression!

>>Do I have to take Part 1 before I take Part 2?
If you are an experienced performer and feel confident with the inner work you have reclaimed, you are invited to join Part 2 so that you can focus your presence on the outer work, on stage. All that is asked is for you to send Devaiya a Google form response expressing your intentions and it will be openly received. You are encouraged to look at Part 1 as an opportunity to dive deep into the core of yourself to reclaim power, purpose, and presence for yourself first and foremost.

>>What will I receive through this class series?
You will receive 12 hours of in-studio time to create a debut prayerformance number. Technique and Performance development will be a main focus, as well as outfit creation and visioning. Alongside 12 hours of studio time, you will be encouraged to practice and refine your vision at home so that you can bring your prayerformance to the stage in our December showcase, which will include professional videography and photography.

In light love, this offering awaits you!

– transfer steps
– eye contact
– moving with intention

Find your inner rhythm and embrace it!

Each class will start with a light warm up, simple choreography and a cool down.

This class is perfect for beginner and intermediate dancers, people who are looking to practice some self-care, boost your confidence, anyone who is looking for a segway into the world of burlesque, or just learning to fall in love with yourself again!

you will need comfortable clothing you can move in, bare feet , jazz shoes or heels ,and a water bottle.

NOTE: I will NOT be teaching burlesque (reveals etc.) at this time and I DO encourage you to dress in any way that makes you feel more comfortable and confident!

A little bit about myself…
I have been dancing jazz and contemporary since the age of five and currently teach Latin and ballroom dance since 2018. I have performed all over Victoria for most of my life, and while doing so, I have discovered my love for burlesque and striptease about 2 years ago. I loved the way it made me love my body and boost my confidence. I have been on a mission to spread that joy to other people ever since!

These workshops will take place on the unceded land of the Lekwungen, songhees and Esquimalt people.

I enthusiastically welcome (but not limited to): POC’s, LGBTQ2S+ and non-binary folx.

ACCESSIBILITY: unfortunately Wild roots is not wheelchair accessible. The studio is up a flight of stairs and down a long corridor. I apologize for the lack of acsessbility at this new location. I am going to work hard to try and find an accessible location in the future. The washroom is gender neutral.The studio is a scent free space. The music will operate through the studios portable speaker ( one speaker) which I will attach to my iPod . I will have control over the sound level, but the room has great acoustics! The lights are fairly bright but are able to be dimmed down or up.

If you have any other questions please let me know 🙂
