Goodness I haven't posted in so long, but I’ve been busy busy busy these past few months on all sorts of sparkly and fantastic things! One of them was making my “dream burlesque act” come to life! I knew what I wanted… No, needed - an act that was completely over the top in every way! It took a decade to finally pull together. Seriously! Maybe longer if you count my father fans… Anyhow, the headdress is made from feathers purchased 10 years ago, the dress was purchased over 3 years ago and altered to add the mermaid skirt about a year and a half ago. I then spent the last two months before April’s performance on the gloves and other details. Oh and I fell in love with the music 3 years ago, which I edited last summer! I love it when a plan comes together… Finally! The show is Bunny Boom Boom’s What’s Burlesk - Las Vegas Edition, at Surly Wench Pub and the photos are by Rick Bracht.
Here’s my Safe Cracker act in Trixie Phillips' Dangerous Temptresses - Sirens of Burlesque at Surly Wench Pub, screen capture from video by Justin Flicks. I made that safe myself! It can be disassembled for travel, which came in handy for when I took it to The Texas Burlesque Festival and The Southwest Burlesque Showcase several years ago.
A group of some of my favorite Tucson ladies and I traveled to Tombstone to perform in my dear friend Contessa Oblivian’s show, Soiled Doves! We always have too much fun performing our “Two Birds” act!
Here’s the spectacular cast from Soiled Doves - you’ll be seeing more of us in September! Both photos by Ross Demma Photography
