By: Leife Shallcross     

'The best fairy-tale retelling I have read' - Read the Write Act

'Utterly Enchanting'
- Kate Forsyth, author of Bitter Greens and The Wild Girl

'5 out of 5 stars . . . magical romance at its best' - Sam Hawke, author of City of Lies

*********

I am neither monster nor man - yet I am both.

I am the Beast.

The day I was cursed to this wretched existence was the day I was saved - although it did not feel so at the time.

My redemption sprung from contemptible roots; I am not proud of what I did the day her father happened upon my crumbling, isolated chateau. But if loneliness breeds desperation then I was desperate indeed, and I did what I felt I must. My shameful behaviour was unjustly rewarded.

My Isabeau. She opened my eyes, my mind and my heart. She taught me how to be human again.

And now I might lose her forever.

Lose yourself in this gorgeously rich and magical retelling of The Beauty and the Beast that finally lays bare the Beast's heart.

Suprisingly good quality and a great looking jacket
I have been searching for a ring master jacket for a circus themed gala where I will be the Auctioneer/Ring Master. All the other jackets I looked at were either cheap costume stuff or just looked a little too much military Hussar style with all of the added gold tassels. This has just the right class and definitely the right look. I was worried it would fit weird or just not be constructed well but I could not be any happier with this jacket- the sleeves are a perfect length when my arms hang at my side, as is the high waist cut and the length of the tails are also just right- and best of all the sequins really shine. I spent my career in the circus and the performing arts and this would have been more than acceptable on stage for someone to wear as a ring master or to look fancy and sparkly, assuming nobody will be standing on your shoulders and popping off your sequins. It is comfortable to wear, although I would not say it allows for full range of motion relative to a costume I would have actually worn in a circus while doing acrobatics. But that would be a totally hand made costume with flexible material and 4-10x the price. Overall it cannot be beat for your average wearer!

Well Made, Runs A Little Small
I bought this on short notice for a drag show. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but it exceeded my expectations in a lot of ways. The interior feels like the inside of a standard suit coat, and is comfortable for long term wear. The sequins are sewn on in a pattern, and there's little, if any, fallout. I've only found a couple sequins on the floor. I've used it a lot since the drag show, for a lot of things (live streams, videos, etc). Absolutely worth the price, and I've already gotten my money's worth out of it. It does run a little small, but it still mostly fits according to the size chart. A few notes: - It doesn't have button holes, so if you're looking for something that buttons up, look elsewhere. - Washing instructions say to machine wash cool, warm iron (do not tumble dry, do not dry clean). I'd say run it on the gentlest cycle you can muster, or just spot clean stains and the pits (if you're sweaty). I don't know how well this thing would survive a wash, but I haven't needed to wash it yet.
