A day off. To myself no less. I thought I had a hair appointment today but it’s actually tomorrow so I have not had any reason to get out of bed! It’s super nice. That is, not to say, that I don’t have a foot long list of chores to do for the house, the move and burlesque, it just means I’m ignoring them all. It’s still nice.
This weekend was incredible. I really do like performing several nights in a row. It makes me feel alive. I am also so so happy to have picked up the supplies I needed for those two costumes. $180 at the end of it all! But still a good investment for what’s going to be some really awesome pieces. I hope.
This month is going to fly by so fast! I only have two weeks left of the day job then all energies will be on moving. But don’t think my burlesque calendar has gotten any light, oh no! I’m still jumping up and down from DC to Richmond and back all month. It’s actually a good thing that the PiC has decided to steal my final show from me. She’s running the whole thing people! I have no control, as an artist or a producer. I’m scared but excited. I do know though that it’s going to be an insane line up. And one raging party!
Oh, I am over stimulated mentally so I am going to let you go. Oh there are grand things on the horizon, for everyone I feel. Just keep looking to the sky for tomorrow and soon it shall be here.
Huggles and kisses!

It honor of my television obession and trying to keep things edumacational we are turning to the Dscovery Channel for Inspiration this month at Bambi’s Burlezk Experience.

You don’t have to go on a safari to discover these hot ladies! Bring your binoculars and field jackets to the Palace of Wonders. I wrangled these beauties and brought them in for your viewing pleasure.

Performances by the succulent Sasha De Vine, the amazing Ariel View, the action-packed Anna Steasya, and the sassy Skye Sinclair!

So I look forward to seeing you all there!
Huggles and Kisses!

As I am performing in two shows! Yes, the unheard of for those of us outside of NYC but I am accomplishing it.  In fact, not only am I doing two shows but in two different cities no less!

So those of you in the DC area, come out early and catch me at Artomatic.  I had a great time there last year and we are back with more girls for ya this time around! Just check out the flyer for info, I know it’s on the Cabaret stage which is on the second floor, be there!

For those who run in more southern circles or have a kinkier side I will also be performing down in Richmond at the premiere show for Carnal Carnival.  A sweet friend, Lillath Lore is heading this up so I am honored to be part of it.

It will be a night of craziness, a new act and lots of boobies! For me atleast, score! So come out and enjoy the view!

Huggles and kisses

Ok so it’s been a week and I can finally wrap my head around the amazingness that was the Burlesque Hall of Fame weekend, which shall from here out be called MEW as in Miss Exotic World, even though the title is now Reigning Queen of Burlesque.  Oh politics, how we love how you involve yourself in our getting nude!

Anyways, it was incredible, a first on many levels.  The first trip to Vegas for the PiC and I, and our first MEW.  We were really nervous when we showed up on Thursday as we didn’t know what to expect.  Luckily we found our bowling partners for that night enjoying $1 margaritas at one of the bars so we all enjoyed that.  I also met my first legends there, Gina Bonbon and Candy Carmello.  Both, very sweet ladies.  It was funny because everyone was doing the, do I know you stare?  Like we weren’t sure who was a performer there for the weekend and who was just a casino patron.  Skye Bradshaw and Selia Carmichael made amazing bowling partners.  We all had such fun, dancing like idiots and being really bad bowlers.  We then went over to the opening show with Tigger hosting.  We unfortunately were only able to make it through about  the first third as we had been up for over 24 hours at that point, including traveling and all the stress that goes with that but the people we did see perform, we were floored.

Friday luckily started off a lot calmer.  We went to the Bazaar where I was overwhelmed with want.  And need.  but mostly want.  Everything was so gorgeous.  Probably the best news I heard all day was that the rhinestone encrusted heels didn’t come in my size or else I would have bought all of them.  They were gorgeous.  We also spent time with Philly Caramel, our MEW roomie. I heart that girl and she is so much fun to just be real with.  So after shopping there was the Roast and Toast down at the hotel bar.  Little did we know that EVERYONE was down there in the hot tub, lol.  The Roast and Toast was amazing.  Spending quality time with Satan’s Angel meant so much.  Also meeting the other fire girls, Tanya Cheex, Lady Monster and Sweet Lilli Bee was very cool.  We then rushed off up stairs to get ready for the Legend Showcase.  This show, it was the epitome of why I wanted to come to this weekend.  To see these incredible older women still shine on stage and to be true to who they are, was inspiration.  It touched me in the same way a good church sermon touches me, I was in the presence of true light.

After the show though, thanks to Satan’s Angel, the fire queens all had to cut out of the poker tournament and the piano dance fest to go spin our tassels over at the Erotic Heritage Festival.  We had such a blast.  I was really proud of how I spun and of sharing that with Angel.

Saturday again started late, it was kind of a theme over the weekend, but also late to me is 10 am , so all is relative.  I have no idea what the PiC did but I went and took costuming classes with Big Fannie Annie.  That women taught so much and I am so excited for my next trip to the garment district! I have three costume pieces I cannot wait to make!  I did however find the PiC in the Bazaar and she allowed me to do a little spending, not that I need her permission but it is both of our money and the things were not cheap.  I bought a beautiful corset from the Syrens of the South that was handmade by Renee La Roux!  I cannot wait to use it in a show.  We also got a photos from some of the legends.  They are going to look so amazing on our walls in New York!

The main competition was Saturday night and it could not have been anymore fierce!  I was really proud of my friend Madame Rosebud who competed in the Best Debut category.  She was so beautiful, artistic and elegant.  I was also blown away by the girls in the Main Category.  Little Brooklyn was beautiful and hilarious but that’s normal.  The Schlep Sisters kicked off the Group category, and that was a party in their pants that I totally wanted to go to.  Hot Toddy, was a sex beast!  Oh my lord, he and I could make beautiful gay babies together.  I even had someone say they’d buy that video, so Toddy, if you’re reading this….

It truly was incredible though.  I was again inspired to bring my game to the next level.  That I think was the most important thing I could gain from this weekend.

Thank goodness, Mew prepared for the craziness that would be Saturday night and they planned for a pool party on Sunday.  Funny enough, the High Roller motorcycle group was also having a pool party.  A lot of the veterans said that the bikers used to come to the show and rev their engines at the routines so it was really fun.  The PiC and I ran back into our bowling partners Selia and Sky which was fun.  Selia and I even had similar bikinis, oh those great minds.  So we swam and drank and had a good time until we needed to get dressed for the closing night.

The line up was more than could be expected.  It started with burlesque, of course, beautiful as always.  Then they had Jimmy Scott sing jazz with Kitten on the Keys which was so moving.  The night ended out with El Vez, the Mexican Elvis Impersonator, who was spell binding.  At one point I think I was laughing till I cried.  The after party was so much fun but the after after party was even better.  We danced till we were pooped and then we went to the room with Bastard Keith and Madame Rosebud, where we drank scotch and just talked.  It was incredible.

Even though the weekend was technically over the PiC and I had chosen to stay an extra day.  I’m glad we did because we got to spend time with Amber Ray, I costumed and we saw the Mel B. Peepshow.  It was fairly mediocre.  Still nice to ride down the strip with Amber.  We also got to spend time at Luke and Laura’s for an unofficial party.  We hung around the pool with Dirty Martini, Darlinda Just Darlinda, Roxy D’Lite, Tatah Dujour, and of course Amber Ray.  Tatah was so incredible, she gave each of us a piece of her artwork.  I let the PiC pick it and I must say, it is very nice.  It was an incredible end to an incredible weekend.

I can’t believe we have to wait another year for more amazing memories and to meet more incredible people.

Huggle and kisses!

Oh my goodness people, between Vegas and Richmond and Pride I am exhausted. I have wanted to post to you, to tell you everything that has gone on but as soon as I get home I’m lucky to even get my video uploaded. Which, if you have not checked out, look at the video section where I am keeping a record of my life in one minute intervals and hope to for the next year. Yes, some days I miss and so I make a two minute video the next day, so sue me. This is a fun little view into my world and let me tell you, I make some weird faces when I talk. Just know there will be real posts coming soon. I swear. I mean, it’s me

Fiery Ta-Ta Twirliness,

I have kept this as quiet as I possible can because I didn’t want to jinx it but the PiC and I are moving.  To the Big Apple!  The PiC talked with her job and will be working remotely from an office in the Meat Packing District.  What I will be doing for finances, I don’t quite know yet but hopefully I will be performing still so that might help.  I also wouldn’t mind continuing to work in the field that I do now during the day.

This is a truly exciting time in our lives right now!  When I was a little girl I always dreamed of moving to New York to become a performer and now I am doing just that.  Ok, so as a little girl it was to be a Broadway Super Star but I am ok with just being a little guppy in the grand sea of burlesque queens out there.  Who knows, maybe it will be my big break!

So yes, I am sadly leaving the town that has been my haven for the entirety of my burlesque career but only to continue to watch it grow in a larger arena.  Here’s to the future!

Huggles and Kisses!

What an incredible opening! The PiC and I went out to support our artistic friends who were showing off their works.  I have to say, it was incredible.  Personal friends Caitlin Phillips, Justin Cameron, Christie Otvos, Cynthia Rudzis, Todd Gardener, and Jared Davis all had work they were showing.  All of them really out did themselves.  

Another artist who I went out to support was Kerri Sheehan who used me as the subject for her piece.  She created an installation to promote a documentary she is hoping to put together on burlesque.  I am truly honored that she is including me in the piece.  She made an old time movie box where you can watch one of my routines that she made look vintage.  It’s super cute!

All I can say is go to Artomatic.  This is truly an uniquely DC event that everyone should try to come out too.  It has over 9 floors of art along with live entertainment.  Even some burlesque one night! Check out the calendar people

Huggles and kisses!

It truly did on Thursday night.  We brought our A game for sure to Palace of Wonders.  It was Bambi’s Burlezk Experience and the cast couldn’t have been more perfect.  I had the incomparable  duo, Codie Swift and Rusty Nutz to keep everything running smoothly with set up and pick up.  The cast couldn’t have been any better.  Kay Sera was a superstar considering it was her FIRST TIME PERFORMING EVER! She was so funny and sexy, I am glad she was there.  I also got to pop another cherry, Dolli Holiday’s first time on the Palace stage.  She wow’ed the audience with her fan skills but I knew she would.  My little sister, Roxy Casbah, sweetly but sadly is going to be taking a short hiatus from the scene so I was honored to have her perform with us.  And Last but not least, Reverend Valentine made the audience laugh with delight.  It was great.  My hosting wasn’t half bad either!

Lest we forget the audience, they were superb.  There were such notables in them as Shortstaxx, Trixie Little, The Evil Hate Monkey, Boo Boo Darlin’ and of course Michael.  Everyone else was awesome.  They even humored me when I performed my blockhead for them! It didn’t go in as deep as it can but I am a little stuffy.  

It was just nice to see where the show started and where it is going.  I am really proud of myself and how my abilities are taking shape and that I am feeling ready to make bigger and better moves for my future.  Everyone should get excited.  I know I am

Huggles and Kisses people and be prepared for more out there!
