Better late than never!

Sometimes it takes me a while to get back on here...

In February I had the pleasure of performing at the Southwest Burlesque Showcase at the KiMo Theater in Albuquerque New Mexico! Show producers Kitty Irreverent and Holly Rebel brought in top notch performers from across the country for three nights of hot burlesque entertainment that took the chill off freezing desert winter temps that Albuquerque is known for. Overnight lows were in the teens - that's mighty cold for this Tucson native! The first night of burlesque was at Launchpad, a local bar and band performance venue. I made myself cozy in the balcony section and enjoyed my roomie Natasha Noir open the show with one of her trademark stunning traditional acts. The rest of the night was filled for the most part with smart and sassy neo-burlesque performances. The Friday and Saturday night shows were at the beautifully restored historic KiMO Theater. Friday night's show was hosted by Dr. Lucky and Devin D, featured legend Tiffany Carter, and was headlined by Jo Boobs. I performed my Safe Cracker act, and yes before I went on stage I left a toy at Bobby's shrine to ensure that my prop-filled act would go smoothly!
