Darling Services

The Darling Sisters - dedicated to changing the world with good manners and style. Between us, the Darlings have backgrounds in social history and culture, deportment and etiquette, public speaking and performance, makeup artistry, textiles and fashion. We have both lectured and tutored adult classes in our individual areas of expertise. We have also both spent many years as performers, in dance, jazz and cabaret (it must be in the blood). Darla is a dancer and Blossom a singer, and both of us have spent a number of happy years with Miss Kitka's House of Burlesque in Canberra, learning the art of the tease, enjoying some fab shows and meeting plenty of utterly fabulous people in the process. The Darlings are especially fond of those who dance to a different tune. We have both been actively involved in the sub-cultural scene - especially those involving Geeks, Goths and Mods - but we're not telling who is what! In short we're on a mission to leave this world a nicer place than how we found it. We have been working together for a few years now to do this in several ways:

  • Our famous Darling Sisters' Charm and Deportment Salons
  • Individual consultations to assist people to transform themselves into utter hepcats and screen sirens
  • Fashion accessories for Charming People, and
  • The Canberra-based Sophsticates Society: an opportunity for Charming Friends to express themselves!
