4 months into lock down we thought it was about time that we added some celebrity sparkle to our Events Blog!

One of the many things we are acclaimed for here at The Vegas Show Girls is our exquisite selection of showgirl costumes. Over the past 15 years we have expanded our wardrobe department to enable us to offer our lovely clients one of the biggest and most luxurious selections of showgirl costumes that the UK has to offer. The Vegas Show Girls have costumes in several different styles and colours to fit many different themes and events.

Being no stranger to Television we were thrilled when we received an enquiry from ITV with regard to hiring our stunning classic white show girl costumes for ITV’s Celebrity XFactor back in October 2019.

The celebrity in question was Martin Bashir and the costumes were to be worn for his first live performance in the studio. What a way to start the series!

The Vegas Show Girls provided a set of 8 stunning showgirl costumes comprising of white feather head dresses, white feather bum bustles, silver sequin diamante necklaces, silver sequin leotards and matching gloves. We hope you agree that the dancers looked first class oozing style, sophistication and elegance in our costumes. As for Martin Bashir – we shall let you make your own mind up!

We look forward to bringing some Celebrity Sparkle to your event very soon…

Firstly we wanted to say ‘Happy New Year’ to all of our lovely clients and followers – we hope yours was a fabulous and glamorous as ours was…(more of that to follow!)

You may have noticed that we are a little behind with our events blogs. But we still wanted to tell you about a few of the exciting things that have happened in the second half of 2018…

The BIGGEST event of the year was without doubt the arrival our company directors beautiful baby daughter, Isabelle Ivy back in July. Although still a bit small for sequins and feathers we are sure it will only be a matter of time before we have a new showgirl in the making! And congratulations to Emma-Jane and husband Richard on the new addition to their family.

Right up until Isabelle Ivy’s arrival things were as busy as ever in showgirl world.

Something that had dominated the press and industry in 2018 was the #metoo movement. Stemming from the Harvey Weinstein scandal this then seemingly spilled over into the arts and entertainment industry back in January 2018.

The much publicised Dorchester scandal saw a reporter from the Financial Times go undercover as a hostess at the annual charity event at one of London’s top hotels. Upon publishing her findings, things spiralled out of control very quickly within our industry. We saw the banning of Formula One grid girls and darts walk on girls. These jobs and roles were suddenly seen as ‘inappropriate’ and ‘sexist’ – jobs which had been part of the sporting industry for many years. Why this sudden turnaround?

Christmas has been and gone and it’s the start of a brand new sparkly year. Our feathers have been washed and hung out to dry and we are gearing up for yet another busy year ahead…….

December was the usual busy and hectic month for The Vegas Show Girls with Christmas parties, tinsel and sequins coming out of our ears (literally!).

Our stunning Show Girls and dancers performed at over 40 events during December covering many of our themes from the Roaring 20’s to Moulin Rouge and Masquerade. We brought in the New Year in style at eight different venues throughout the country from London through to Leicester – what better way to see in 2018 than with feathers and glitter?! New Years Even themes included a ‘Sin in the City’ Las Vegas themed event, A ‘Gold’ themed Party and A ‘Glitter Ball’ party – how glamorous! Our elegant Ballroom dancers also brought in the New Year in true Strictly style gliding across the dance floor at a ‘Hollywood Glamour’ themed party at The Swan in High Wycombe.

But before we got to the crazy month this was December The Vegas Show Girls had the privilege of being invited back for the 3rd consecutive year to be part of the official entertainment line up for the Royal Variety Performance After Show Party at London’s prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel……..

This year our showgirls wore the royal colours of red, black and gold feathers to greet Royal Variety Performance guests upon arrival to the after show party. The 2017 Royal Variety Performance took place in London’s glittering West End at the London Palladium and was attended by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate (who unfortunately could not make it to the after show party – now that would have made a good photo opp!). But the stars still came out and the after show party was well attended with the it’s own celebrity line up.

In addition to meeting and greeting guests on arrival and being in big demand for photographs, The Vegas Show Girls had the pleasure of opening the evenings entertainment with a show stopping high kicking performance of their very own. What a night!

If this is an indication of things to come in 2018 then we really can not wait for the year ahead – Happy New Year everyone!

As the winter nights drawn in, our summer season in the Las Vegas of the North seems like a distant memory…..

But we didn’t want to let the smell of candy floss and fish and chips disappear just yet without telling you all about our glamorous summer shows at Blackpool’s North Pier Theatre this year starring the fabulous Britain’s Got Talent, Ab Fab movie, singing and comedy superstar – La Voix.

Every Saturday night throughout August La Voix’s ‘One night only’ show wowed audiences with effortless live vocals, quick whited comedy and fabulous frocks from this critically acclaimed Diva, supported by the equally fabulous Vegas Show Girls, Va Va Voom Boys and live 8 piece orchestra (plus special guests each week).

Slick, sharp choreographed production numbers featured throughout the show performed to a selection of  iconic songs including ‘One night only’, ‘Proud Mary’ and ‘Putting on the Ritz’  featuring La Voix, The Vegas Show Girls and Va Va Boom Boys.

There was no expense spared on costumes in this glamorous affair with The Vegas Show Girls debuting two of their newest sets of plumes and feathers and the Va Va Voom Boys leaving little to the imagination with their complimenting attire!

It was reassuring to see that the good old fashioned variety show was definitely still alive and kicking in Blackpool – in a bigger, better and even more glamorous way than ever. It was event better to be a part of it. We look forward to seeing what 2018 has to hold for La Voix and her wonderfully talented cast.
