I am Patti Cakes; the cabaret fueled, burlesque blooded, illustrated broad with vaudeville vocals, and dangerous proportions! I've got a fantastically rediculous ambition to be a self accompanied singing burlesque act - watch this space.

Does this lighting make my bum look big? 💡🍑 . Being a femme fatale is a hobby I’ve definitely missed, I can’t wait to start dressing up again and being the big fat poser I am 💁‍♀️ .

Hey loves 👋🏻 I’m still here! Sorry I’ve been neglecting this page of fabulousness and fashion. To be honest, there’s not much of that in my life right now! I’ve been mega strict with myself throughout lockdown and I don’t have a bulging wardrobe of new clothes or even new loungewear. My old fateful ratty drawer of pyjamas has seen me through just fine, and I’ve not exactly been dressing up to go for my daily stroll 🤷‍♀️ I’ve been busy planning my future with this guy though 🥰 beginning wedding plans has kept my mind (and purse) occupied and we’ve also focused on how we can achieve our ideal future together ❤️ while there is little glamour in my life, you can check out @caloriecountcook to see what I’ve been whipping up in the kitchen, and the friends (read: animals) we meet on our walks 🐾🐕‍🦺🦮🐐🦢🐿🦆 #lockdownlove #pyjamasallday #whatisabra #2022wedding (at Preston Marina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNDUsheAapL/?igshid=1cty022v5t7iz

✨ still here ✨ It’s my birthday tomorrow (31!) so I’m excited as we are having my absolute favourite pizzas for dinner (Honest Jon in Preston, you will never be disappointed!) 🍕 I’m trying very hard not to turn to retail therapy as a way to #sparkjoy however I really can’t say no to big earrings and @loud__mary has stolen my heart with these custom colour bad boys 💛💚 It’s been a bloody long month hasn’t it? I think the phrase ‘getting by’ has never been so overused. Keep those chins up my darlings, and please let your loved ones know when you’re struggling ✨ #lockdown2021 #earringsoftheday #earringaddiction #bigearrings (at Preston, Lancashire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKeWISGgv8B/?igshid=1pj6xtpuvrkjc

I think a lot of us are sick of the same four walls by now aren’t we? I can honestly say the little visits I get from this guy throughout the day have saved me from myself ❤️ #chandlerthecat #workingfromhome #bestcolleague #workbestie #tier3 #blackandwhitecat #rescuecat #adoptdontshop #ilovemycat #catsofinstagram #catstagram #catmama #furbaby #catlady https://www.instagram.com/p/CI6oXk6g08V/?igshid=z6mt6jd4asnu

❄️ Baby, it’s cold outside ❄️ . So I recommend shoving your sexy bits to the back of the drawer and ensuring you have access to your fluffy socks and snuggly pyjamas - and don’t worry about your hair cause you’ll be wearing a hat anyway 🧑‍🎄Basically, the opposite of this exquisite picture by @nicolamyboudoir 🖤 .

Swipe left for a surprise ✨💍 Little did I know when we took this adorable morning selfie on Sunday that Dan had a secret plan for that evening! He asked me to marry him In a shaky voice and after a gob smacked 10 seconds I said yes 🥰 Thank you to everyone who has congratulated us already, we’re so happy that our news has caused so many smiles! ❤️ *in a Monica voice* I’M ENGAGED!!!!

Today I was ✨EXTRA CUTE✨ Leopard beret, tartan pinafore dress, full beat face and my brand spanking new @loud__mary Winston hoop earrings 😍 What a frickin festive fairy angel I am. If this is how much effort I make for a walk in the park, can you imagine what I’d do for a pint when I’m allowed?! *beret hides a tonne of secrets including an unwashed 2 inches of roots #alldressedup #winterwalks #beretstyle #loudmary (at Avenham & Miller Parks) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJvNuPgk2p/?igshid=1xx9m01rx44vh

Had I known there would be no 2020 Christmas nights out, I’d have gone a whole lot more EXTRA in 2019 🥂 I don’t know about you but I am so excited to have fun with my friends again once it’s safe to do so. I will dance till my feet hurt, laugh till my eyes water, sing till I lose my voice and hug everyone I love, and I will wait until 2021 to do that if it keeps those people safe ❤️ For now, should I just wear my ‘extra special’ pyjamas on Saturday nights? #xmasparty #christmasparty #partyathome #stayhome (at Baluga Bar & Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHtVpvVAQTx/?igshid=17jqo3pg5r518

🖤 Confession time 🖤 . I’ve become stretch jersey down to my very core. I only put ‘outside’ clothes on to go to @aldiuk and even then they are leisurewear at best. Part of me yearns for the need to wear a tailored dress, or a structured waistband, then the other (extremely comfortable) part of me is thinking “this is the life you DREAMED of, always wearing comfies and almost never wearing a bra!” . This picture was taken in summer, in a gorgeous @riverisland plus dress that I bought from one of @georginagrogan_ ‘s clothing sales and it’s genuinely one of my most favourite summer dresses. . I’ve never been one to feel obliged to dress a certain way, but I do hope this lockdown experience has given some people a chance to reflect on the pressure they’ve put themselves under to ‘stay on trend’ or ‘never be seen in the same outfit twice’ etc. I’ve got clothes from 2019 I’ve not had a chance to wear this year, so I’m gonna be having stern words with myself if I develop the urge for a ‘new post lockdown wardrobe’ or whatever slogans the brands are gonna pull out of their arse to get sales back up in 2021!

✨ No filters here ✨ . Just a quick reminder that you’ve gotta be nicer to yourself without makeup on. It’s worryingly easy to look in the mirror and passively say ‘god I’m so gross’ and ‘I hate my face’ - if others were to say that to you, how long do you think you would spend internalising those comments and developing more insecurities? Try and allow your inner monologue to act as the role of your best friend who constantly hypes you up and tells you how incredible you are. . I appreciate this post may seem quite shallow in such an international time of fear, but being in my house 24/7 has left me with a lot of time to tear myself down and pick out more flaws by the day, so I imagine it’s doing the same to a lot of you babes. . In a time when we need kindness, care, love and empathy, please apply these things to yourself ❤️ (at Preston, Lancashire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHlnpYlgNcc/?igshid=38v427acadtf

There is something majorly wrong with this picture... . . . My @barbrastreisand tattoo is INCREDIBLY lonely on my upper arm and has been so for a few years now 😢 I have nearly the entire arm planned and need to kick my pastel pink butt into gear in 2021 and fill some of these gaps! My next tattoo is a portrait of another famously talented, funny, uniquely beautiful singer/actress/badass... can you guess who it is?

It’s this handsome bugger’s birthday today 🎂❤️ Of course we were looking forward to attending some form of all you can eat restaurant and seeing friends and family, but that’s a small sacrifice to make so that we can celebraye next year’s birthdays safely together. I love you more than you know, and you’re the best cat-papa in the world ❤️ #birthdayboi #boyfriend #birthdayboyfriend #happybirthday #love #happiness #loveyou https://www.instagram.com/p/CHNaGHcgPUv/?igshid=7458ln04x1ci

I painted my face for Halloween, took a bajillion tipsy selfies and the one I liked the most was this outtake. You may think I’ve done this ‘sexy makeup influencer with closed eyes’ pose on purpose, but I can assure you this is a fluke and I cannot do ‘sexy face’ on purpose to save myself.

Well double damn, I’d be looking THIS cute if we were allowed to do anything in Lancashire that I’d put effort in for (no, I don’t make effort for the weekly Aldi shop) I suppose I can force myself to live in soft, snuggly, stretch jersey loungewear for another few weeks if I really HAVE to 🙄 This was a lewk though 🖤🍂 Dress (gifted) @pinkcloveuk Jacket old @simplybeuk Tights @snagtights Belt @nastygal #autumnvibes #autumnfashion #fringedjacket #snakeprint (at Preston, Lancashire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGlMSX5gUqr/?igshid=vxuny9fij4t2

I’m a bit miffed I’ve only had one chance to wear my beautiful @loudbodies Gabrielle dress so far - but I’m grateful that once chance was for @nicolamyboudoir 💚😍 As soon as it’s safe, I’m gonna be making the most of all the fabulous things I’ve not worn in 2020 for sure 😢💚 Bra by @elomilingerie @wacoaleurope Dress (worn as robe) @loudbodies Hair @evka.allen Makeup by me Photo and edit by @nicolamyboudoir https://www.instagram.com/p/CGiUptqA4pb/?igshid=1ilyhq4iyc5ki

My quarantine buddy hasn’t been too bad I suppose...❤️ I really feel for my friends and family who don’t live with loved ones and have struggled this year. I can’t imagine how hard it’s been, but please know you are loved and those who mean the most to you will make the effort once the rules allow 🥰 We’ve finally used this time to make some changes around the house and some exciting plans for 2021! We’re gonna be covered in dust and paint for the next few months so here’s a ‘scrubbed up’ pic from the other day with my handsome walrus ✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/CGHqqaagpqK/?igshid=17gfx410gk2y1
