Indeed, we are all looking forward to the return of the Blitz Bombshells!

Agapanthus will also be making her Edinburgh debut with a brand new fan dance, and our official Wardrobe Mistress Miss Nicole will be on hand to introduce her forthcoming sewing tuition, designed to tie in with future events.

All in all, there should be more fun, frolics and shenanigans than you can shake a stick at!

Sounds amazing!

Hi Micha, too many hats on at this event to wear the Queen Bea one I'm afraid. If there's a pair of tassels you like on my website I will be happy to bring them along, otherwise we can have a chat about what you're after or I can maybe come along with tassels after your class sometime. Feel free to PM me! x

Thx I'll take a look at your website and mail you about it .

Well, the Blitz is almost upon us and, far from being afraid, we are quite manically excited here at Miss Fitz-Poste HQ.

As well as a demo and taster dance lesson from Zoot Swing and the Academy of Burlesque and Cabaret performance group (aka the Blitz Bombshells) we also have our very own Agapanthus making her Edinburgh debut and we are finishing with a live set of classic wartime hits from Scottish diva Alana McLernon.

That's not to mention all the other fun we have in store - games and competitions with prizes to be won (including a fabulous new prize for best-dressed), our War Room where you can get up close and personal with WWII re-enactors and their equipment (ooh er!), Making Waves Beauty Parlour where you can be transformed into the forces sweetheart of your dreams....all that and more, plus free cake!

Advance tickets are available through our website for £10, which discounted price also applies for students and early birds arriving before 5pm on the day (also handy if you want that dance lesson!). After 5pm tickets go up to their standard price of £12.50.

what a really super afternoon and evening!!!! thank you so much girls. everything was spot on; venue, dj, compere...everything...fantastic concept well done miss bea and miss emily. xxx
