Honey B. Comb presents, something particularly special..

Well, guys and gals, amidst the many open-ended projects currently buzzing behind the scenes of Mahaloclub, it looks like Lindsey (my awesome gal-pal from Lenny&Me Vintage) and I will have an official debut for our go-go burlesque act, Honey B. Comb. whoaaaaa mama, i'm excited!!! You can see Honey B. Comb at Cobra Lounge in Chicago, Friday, June 4th, performing with a stellar list of artisans, musicians, etc.

Now here's my problem-o, I need a new stage name. One that will suit me accordingly..hmmmmmm...

Any thoughts, suggestions?? Hilarious? Random??

Here are a couple of the songs we'll be batting our lashes to..just so you get an idea of where we may or may not be taking our new endeavour

Mickey & Sylvia's - No Good Lover (my personal favorite)


Bill Forbes - Once More (this is one of those immediate hip shakers)


Barbara Lynn - I'm a Good Woman ( I was originally supposed to sing this song with my new band, but we're saving that for another date)



Ahhhhh!! Decisions, decisions!

Any thoughts on musical tracks and stage names will be gladly accepted and/or reviewed with love.

Alright, i'm off to make costumes and shake a tail feather in front of the mirror at my shop.

can we bring back the halter?? please?! 40s, 50s & 70s!!

so, i'm really starting to feel like i'm the ONLY gal who wants to keep the classic halter and cropped beach tops alive! i think they look smoking hot on ANY gal, curvy, skinny, busty, petite, etc. and sadly, i don't feel like enough classic vintage collectors and/or lovers want or know how to sport these bad boys in any every day atmosphere.

well, damnit, it's finally getting warm, so let the girls come out and play!!

70s mania!

70s Halter Top on Sale @ BombShellShocked Vintage
this second awesome halter is available in niki's awesome vintage shop BombShellShocked Vintage on ebay. (for some reason my links aren't working properly, but you can get to her through the main BombShellShocked link at the top of my page)

and here's some summer inspiration for all you ladies who are getting antsy for summer time fun, like me...

and the best part is these styles LOVE your hair whether it's locked, twisted, big and fluffy, pinned-up, whatever the hell your flavor is!

halters, swimsuits, cropped tops and curvy, curvy waist lines!!!
