Lady Alex’s Tasty Truffle Decadence
Lady Alex & Fifi Femelle – Fancy a nibble?
My dear readers,
Chocolate and sex are so interlinked, I find it hard to separate or even chose between them. So I like to blur the boundaries with my orgasmic recipe for the ultimate oral indulgence.
Best prepared in nothing more then an apron and a smile.
Share with friends.
Ingredients
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 3 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
• 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips, melted
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Directions
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in
confectioners’ sugar until well blended. Stir in melted
chocolate and vanilla until no streaks remain. Refrigerate for about 1
hour. Shape into 1 inch balls. Don’t be greedy … more then a handful
is a waste!

Nothing says burlesque in Springtime like bunny ears.
I recently decided we needed to do a spring-themed Easter photo shoot for Wam Bam. Its always good to be fresh and exciting with new photos for the website.
I wanted white picket fences; ample bunches of daffodils and lederhosen. Well why not?! My shoot, my vision – until someone pointed out the Germanic overtones of lederhosen made it more ‘Springtime for Hitler’ than ‘Springtime for Wam Bam’. To soften things up a bit, I decided to bring in some livestock. A sprinkling of rabbits here, a lamb and a chick there, it would be perfect. Rachael, my trusty sidekick, suggested going to an animal agency as they come with handler which take care of animal discipline and hopefully animal droppings, which really aren’t my area of expertise. So I started researching animal agencies online.
-->Heartfelt Tribute to Jason Wood 38 RIP
Jason Wood passed away on Saturday
I would like to offer a heart felt tribute to a true talent. One of the shining lights of the entertainment world and a cherished member of the Wam Bam family. Most importantly a real friend, Mr Jason Wood.
Jason sadly passed away yesterday, Saturday 20th Feb, and was scheduled to appear that night at Wam Bam to premiere his new Vegas act.

Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Valentines Day is a day for love and roses, for chocolates and champagne, for kisses and sweet nothings. If you are lucky. Not everyone is in love on Valentines Day. Not everyone is happy and fluffy. You may have never found love. You may have found love but had it snatched from you. Your Valentine’s love may not even know who you are.
There are many songs about love. But none of the interesting ones are about how love is a wonderful thing, apart from Elvis with Love Me Tender.
So here are my top 10 anti-Valentine songs. Anti-romantic love songs. Real love songs. And no, I haven’t included This is Not a Love Song, because it isn’t a love song.
1. Love Will Tear Us Apart – Joy Division
Every silver lining has a cloud
2. Take your love and shove it – Joe Pesci
The catharsis of letting your lover know how you really feel
3. Where the Wild Roses Grow – Nick Cave and Kylie
You’re beautiful. I love you. Now I have to kill you
4. Walk on By – Dionne Warwick
The grief of a failed relationship. The pain of seeing an ex-lover
5. Valentine – Richard Hawley
Someone remembering their ex on Valentine’s Day
6. Tainted Love – Gloria Jones
When a relationship goes bad
7. I Hate Valentine’s Day – Jewel
Not a great song – but the title says it all!
8. Valentine’s Day – Marilyn Manson
This has nothing to do with Valentines Day, which makes it perfect for this list
9. I Touch Myself – Divnyls
A popular alternative to dating
10. Girlfriend in a Coma – The Smiths
Morrisey with the ultimate cheap date for Valentine’s
No Satire, Please, We’re Burlesque!
If it ain’t controversial, it ain’t satire
With The Wam Bam Club, I’ve always aimed for a burlesque show with a strong comedy theme, but lately my own material has taken a turn for the satirical. Looking back, it feels like it was inevitable. I do burlesque, I do comedy burlesque, and burlesque is satirical by nature, right down to its roots.

Flying Without Wings (or a Safety Harness)
“Look Ma, no hands!”
Well, m’dears, this week I have been having capers and adventures of an aerial theme.
Yes, I wanted to see if I could fly.
Over the years I’ve been involved in the magnificent world of cabaret I have seen many splendid aerial acts on hoop, trapeze, silks and rope. I find them graceful and it all looks so effortless. So the urge overtook me to have a go.
The way I saw it, I had all the right qualifications for an aerial hoop. After all, no-one in the playground could ever ride a swing like me. How hard can it be?
As I write this, darlings, my hands are bleeding and I am sat on a family size pack of frozen peas.
My dreams of flight lead me to my ever-patient and totally lovely trainer, Amy, who I found through the wonderful Hula Boy (who else?) When I informed Amy I was an absolute beginner she didn’t seem phased. However, I think she assumed some sort of training in equivalent physical arts. Our first conversation went a little like this:
