On holiday from the 13th to the 23rd of August

Anika — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 12:30:17 +0000

Hello neglected readers. I’m off to Edinburgh tomorrow (13th August) and I’ll be back late on the 23rd. I won’t have my phone with me, so if you want to get hold of me during that time you’ll have to email. For those of you who were trying to arrange things last time I was away, this time it’s just for fun and all organised in advance, so I shouldn’t be away any longer than expected.

Wheee gallery!

After that last post I went software hunting again and found something that wasn’t overkill and today I spent all day in front of the computer when I should have been out in the sun, and now I have a gallery again! I’m trying to be selective about what I put up this time, but there’s still a few more sets to go. If I feel like publishing pictures of flowers and snails and things again I’ll probably use this blog instead of the gallery page.

Anyway, I hope you like it. I think it’s time I did another photoshoot, so that’s the next step.

A Post!

Hey, I’m still here! No, I still haven’t fixed the gallery. There was a terrible collision of perfectionism and laziness.

A couple of months ago I decided to do a steampunk astronomy striptease quiz this Sunday, and I’ve been in a bit of a flutter about it. Fortunately I was up too late for a Wednesday night with Charlie yesterday, and in between unpublishable things we broke up the creative blocks. As long as speaking on stage doesn’t turn out to be a disaster for me, it should be interesting in a good way.

Also, I’d like to report that frosted bathroom glass doesn’t hide all that much if you’re positioned right next to it with the lights on and it’s dark outside.

Sirens pole dancing & burlesque caberet: travelling freakshow!

Anika — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:48:54 +0000

Hey, here’s an announcement that I probably should have made sooner. Sirens, a lovely night at which I’ve twirled tassles for many years, has moved to The Latest Music Bar (ex Joogleberry). We finally have a weekend slot, so if you’ve ever wanted to see me perform it’s a great opportunity. It’s this Friday at 10pm (shows scheduled for 11-12:30) and tickets are £7 (£5 conc.). We’ve got no idea if this one will be a sell-out or not (it’s a small venue), so get your tickets here or arrive early if you want to be sure.

Strippers for stag parties (also hen parties, birthdays, or any occasion that goes better with boobs)

Anika — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 13:07:27 +0000

At the weekend Charlie and I did our second stag party duo show, and I think we’ve got the hang of it now. It was a lot of fun and with wedding season approaching we’d like to do more of that sort of thing.

We’re both experienced in burlesque, pole and lap dancing, and being uninhibited perverts. We can put together anything from a cheeky striptease that wouldn’t embarrass your mum (depending how your mum feels about nipple tassles) to something very raunchy (and embarrassing for your stag or birthday boy, if you think he deserves it). Just tell us what you want.

Our duo price is £200 for half an hour or £300/hour. Halve that if you only want one of us, and Vienna might also be able to join us if you think three would be better.

Incalls on demand and doubles!

Anika — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:44:28 +0000

I’ve switched from incall days to incalls on demand. The drawback if it’s your first booking with me I’ll be taking a £20 deposit (I’ll return it if you cancel with reasonable notice) to deter timewasters, but if you’re not a timewaster it’s great.

The rates are the same as my outcall rates (which now start at £250 for 90 minutes), and I’ll be available with a minimum of one hour’s notice. Advance booking is stilll preferable.

Also, my friend Charlie is out of retirement and available for double bookings. She doesn’t advertise so I can’t show you a profile, but she’s a petite Latin lady and we’re very good together.

Site hacked, please read

Anika — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 02:11:01 +0000

My site was hacked, I believe it happened on the 21st of October. It wasn’t anything visible, instead a script was added which may have caused your computer to download malware. I didn’t find out until an hour and a half ago, I’ve spent the time having a good clean-up and changing my passwords.

I’m really sorry if anyone’s been affected by this. If you visited my site between the 21st and 26th, please scan your computer.

Incalls on Wednesday the 29th

Anika — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 13:42:49 +0000

I’ve booked the room again next Wednesday. The rates are now the same as my outcall rates, starting at £250 for an hour and a half. I’ll be right near Brighton station and there’s an en-suite bathroom, so come and see me.

What do you eat?

Anika — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 13:38:58 +0000

This is the sort of thing people often ask after I tell them I’m vegan. It’s ok, there are much more annoying responses, but it’s hard to answer (well, what do you eat?) so I thought I’d start what may be an occasional series. Unfortunately I’m starting with a cliché; lentils. Lentils are not just for hippies, I promise. I got this recipe from my mum, she’s not vegetarian anymore but still thinks it’s the best way to do bolognese.

Lentil bolognese is good for cooking a big batch of, which I like doing mostly because I like big pots and ladels. When I went to Portugal for a field trip a couple of years ago, dinner each night was a set menu at one of the local restaurants. They were all very nice but not vegan-friendly at all, so after making the best of it for a couple of days I bought some stuff and made use of the kitchen while the group went for dinner. There were lots of catering-size pans and I thought some of the others would want some of my food for lunch, so I made a huge pot of lentil and chickpea curry stew. It was still cooking when they got back and I was doing my homework in the kitchen. People would wander in and immediately give the pot a stir, there’s just something about it.

I crave a bigger pot, but I have one that makes about 10 servings and I should be happy with that, so this is what I put in it:

Four medium onions
Half a bulb of garlic (cloves peeled and very coarsely chopped)
A bit of chilli (flakes, but any kind works)
Four or five bell peppers of various colours
Oil
Water
Two tins of tomatoes
Dry red lentils (err, about three cups?)
A glass or two of red wine (if you skip this you should probably add some stock or soy sauce or something)
Plenty of dried Italian herbs
Some tomato puree
A bit of salt

Fry the onion, garlic and peppers (and chilli if you’re not using powder) until soft.
Add the tinned tomatoes, lentils and plenty of water.
Simmer for about an hour until it’s mush, topping up with water so that it stays liquid enough not to stick. Add all the other ingredients while it’s simmering. Leave the tomato puree until it’s about done and then add to taste.
Serve with spaghetti or something.
Freeze the rest in single-serving takeaway boxes for when you can’t be bothered to cook.

Incalls this Friday (10th October)

Anika — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:07:41 +0000

Good news for those of you who prefer incalls, I have use of a room near Brighton station this Friday and if all goes well I plan to book it for a day about once every week.

If this becomes regular I intend to use the same rates as I do for outcalls, but for this week I’ll charge £20 an hour less, so it’ll be:

90 minutes: £220
Two hours: £260
Subsequent hours: £80

If you want to book, please call me between noon and midnight or email me.

Incalls are only available on Friday this week and no other dates have been decided yet.
