Sooo, where to begin with? Pepper did indeed perform at the Stockholm Burlesque Festival in October, and it was a blast! So many amazingly talented performers and such a mindblowing audience! Stockholm you were good to me, hope to see you again! <3

Soon after that it was time for the glorious Suomi Burleski Gaala, where public is treated to a full show full of some of Finland's very best burlesque performers, and serves as a fundraiser for the following year's Helsinki Burlesque Festival. As in the last year, and to keep up with the nice traditions, we presented a new group act, Aurora Borealis. This act was a test out of our comfort zone, and an attempt at creating a piece that would be beautiful and would reflect the beauty of Finnish nature and culture (we decided to use the song "Farewell" from the Finnish band Apocalyptica, the melodies of which seemed to fit just perfectly). We have to say the reaction of the audience and the feedback we got (most of all a very special one) totally exceded our wildest expectations, even when a bunch of people ended up dropping a tear or two (ooops, we're really sorry! :-D)
In case you missed that one, here you go a chance to have a look at it:
The rest of the year consisted mostly of smaller gigs here and there (and a LOT of fun), but we'll stop spamming you for now. What we will tell you though is that this upcoming year is going to be a BLAST, and we're so looking forward to it! We all have new solo acts coming (and probably a couple of group acts) and a lot of exciting events we still can't share with you, so stay tuned! ;-)
