Emeraude Plum, the adventure of an Olala Girl!

olalapart@yy — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 14:28:11 +0000

Emeraude Plum got her start in burlesque just over a year ago with the very first “Olala Lab” in Paris! A 5-month creative workshop culminating in a major show under professional conditions. I remember her at the very first workshop, discreet, attentive and silent.
It’s true that I always have fun trying to guess which of the 12 participants will be won over by Burlesque fever and won’t be able to stop!

Often it’s a real surprise, and the time it takes shows us that motivation and commitment to this art is a job that requires a great deal of personal investment.

Since the Olala Lab, Emeraude Plum has created other acts and had the chance to perform on different stages such as the Cabaret Olala at the Eurydice, the Guinguette des demoiselles, the Wunder Kabarett, and recently as a member of ‘La Maison Burla’!

Who are your “burlesque characters”? Are they very different from you?

As far as my numbers are concerned, each one corresponds to a powerful female character or entity around which a story revolves. A possessed doll, a mobster, and I’m currently working on a cyborg in a post-apocalyptic universe.

These characters are different from me, in the sense that they each have their own story, their own personality and even their own little name. I think they were born out of frustration at the lack of representation of heroines in the films of my childhood. Burlesque is a great opportunity to embody them.

Did you find it difficult to get started with your friends and family? or did they support you?

Only my sister knows that I’m performing, and she’s a great support to me, even helping to make my stage props. As for the rest of my family, they don’t know, I’m afraid they won’t be able to understand or accept it.

What was the biggest surprise for you when you discovered this art?

The outpouring of creativity, ingenuity and humor; there are codes, of course, but no real limits to what you can do, which leaves plenty of room for originality.

And some great encounters too!

What are your goals now, and how far would you like to go?

Keep learning, create new acts, get on stage more regularly, learn the tricks of the trade, and why not put on a little burlesque show in a few years’ time? I’d also like to take part in international festivals, but the competition is tough and the level very high, so I’ve still got a long way to go!

When you look back over the past year,

what has changed for you since the beginning of this experience?

I feel that I’ve evolved a lot on a personal level, I’m much more assertive and that’s paying off in my professional life, where I’m more daring to put myself forward and assert my opinion. I sometimes say to myself, “Yesterday you danced in nippies in front of 60 people, so you might as well turn up the volume a bit in this meeting to get your point across” It’s often said that to feel at ease in front of an audience you have to imagine them “naked”, but from a stripper’s point of view, it’s the opposite that helps (laughs).

I’ve also realized that the creative process and the exchange with the public is what really makes me happy and boosts me in all the other areas of my life.

Do you have a phrase or quote that helps motivate you to keep on creating?

Often before going on stage I’m terribly anxious, “Will the audience laugh, will they enjoy seeing my act, am I legitimate to do it?” and finally I try to clear my head and say to myself “Do it and you’ll see afterwards, don’t ask yourself any more questions!” It sounds silly but it helps me!

On the creative side, I have so many ideas in my head that it’s more a case of frustration at not having more time.

And best of all, she has a magnificent voice.

Coffee grounds scrub!

olalapart@yy — Wed, 05 Sep 2018 12:00:48 +0000

Like all
Olala Beauty
we’d love to have the same softness as our most beautiful satin lingerie, wouldn’t we?

So there’s nothing better than exfoliation to get your skin looking its best!

A beauty essential, it’s even the gesture and ritual to adopt for beautiful, soft, luminous skin. It eliminates dead cells, activates cell regeneration and lymph and therefore our blood circulation!

Today I’d like to show you how to do it yourself. Quick, economical and environmentally friendly, coffee grounds are my favourite scrub!

It contains coffee grounds, vegetable oil and that’s all!

Caffeine:

As you may have noticed, dear
Olala Beauty
caffeine is an active ingredient regularly found in beauty products, not only for the body and its anti-cellulite properties, but also for the face, as a formidable decongestant and tensor. With coffee grounds, you get a super-caffeinated scrub, and we love it!

Vegetable oil:

We choose it according to our desires, varying not only the scents but also the virtues!

Personally I made this one with coconut oil, I love its irresistible smell, it’s an oil that suits all skin types and especially dry skin!

If you have very sensitive skin, you can choose timeless sweet almond oil, or jojoba oil for oily skin!

For skin with atopic tendencies and to combat cellulite, the lesser-known chaulmoogra oil will be your best ally!

Recipe:

Instead of throwing your coffee grounds in the garbage can, just put them in a bowl and add the vegetable oil!

It’s better to make sure that our coffee is organic, but what if we don’t drink coffee? Or if you’re a capsule fan?

Well, simply take an organic ground coffee and cover it with oil. You’ll need just a little more oil to moisten your coffee completely, and it’s ready!

Get in the shower and massage the skin, always moving upwards from the bottom of the body! Take care to insist on areas where the skin is thickest, such as the knees or heels, and on padded areas 😉

Don’t hesitate to do the same for the face, using gentle movements, and the same for the lips to remove any dead skin, and you’re done!

After a scrub, you never forget to moisturize, do you? Well, there’s no need! As the oil does not mix with water, it leaves a thin oily film on the skin, making it even softer and more luminous. Dab dry with a towel!

You’re soft and moisturized for the day!

Tip: Don’t worry about your pipes – on the contrary, coffee grounds make them healthier!

The alternative: If you really prefer to buy a ready-made product, here are the products I recommend:

Several Body Boom scents and benefits that you can find here

Or this one from monoprix in the instant powder range:

You can find all the products mentioned above in organic stores, in the kitchen or beauty sections, for most vegetable oils. For lesser-known oils, you can, for example, buy them from Aroma-Zone.

Miss Audrey.

As a dancer and singer, I’m delighted to share my experience and tips with all women (and men) during cabaret classes at Olala Party!

In keeping with this idea of revealing my secrets to you, today I’m sharing my beauty recipes with you!

I’m a lover of natural, homemade skincare, and I enjoy making my own skincare with products that are simple and easy to obtain. I’ll be back each month with a new recipe!

a harmonious combination of all these qualities.

Tips for organizing a successful EVJF!

olalapart@yy — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 12:33:36 +0000

We meet many groups at Olala party events, and we know from experience that organization is often more complicated than you might think…

Steps to a successful EVJF!

Defining roles: The best man is often the person responsible for organizing the day. However, don’t hesitate to appoint a second person with whom you can share the tasks. It’s important that the rest of the group respects your role, especially if there are a lot of you, or if you live in several cities.

Organization: Organize a meeting with the participants, and if you’re not all in the same city, get the phone numbers and e-mail addresses of each participant. Try to organize the event 6 months in advance, to make sure you have the best activities and availability. Then send an e-mail to introduce yourself and suggest a date that will suit the bride-to-be and the whole group. To avoid last-minute problems, propose a validation deadline to participants.

The choice of activities: This is an important subject, as the activities must above all appeal to the bride-to-be. It’s a day to remember.

The budget: Define in advance how much each person wants to spend on the day, and set up a fund in advance. This sum will enable you to make your own choices in terms of activities and organization of the day. This way, the organizer can pay for each activity without having to advance the money, or in the worst case, pay for last-minute absentees. Having a single point of contact for settlements avoids many problems.

So you can enjoy the day in complete peace of mind!
