One of my favorite movies is Burlesque. Ask anyone who lives with me and they’ll tell you the DVD is on loop almost all the time in my dvd player. It’s absolutely to die for. I love musicals- good vocals, amazing choreography and not to mention, to die for clothes and costumes—- is the perfect formula for a really great movie.
I adored the decadence and opulence of the movie. It was sequins, pearls, bling, diamonds and feathers on overload. This is why I decided to “I Die for DIY” Christina Aguilera aka Ally’s BUT I AM A GOOD GIRL number costume for my Day 1 Halloween Costume. I nailed the peg to a tee, complete with a blonde bob and glitterati shoes.
For the outfit what I needed were:
(1) Ostrich feathers/ fur
(2) Silver sequins
(3) Satin fabric
(4) Boning for the corset
(5) A blonde bob
(6) Lots of confidence to pull this look off
I had a blast in my costume and I loved wearing it.

My address today, L.A. by the way
Above Sunset Strip, the Hills all the way
My rings are by Webster, they make their heads twirl
They all say “Darling, what did you do for those pearls?”
What?! I am a good girl
B.H. I adore, Rode-O L'amore
Breakfast Polo Lounge, and poolside for sure
The Chateau for cocktails, the Courtyard at nine
Dan Tana's for dinner, the Helen's* divine
You know I have found, the word’s gone around
They all say my feet never do touch the ground
What?! I am a good girl
I am a good girl
