Back In Canada

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:18:44 -0800

Well… I’ve been back since December - but it’s been a wild ride! Jumped right back into rehearsals with The Cheesecake Burlesque Revue - I sure missed my sisteasers!!!

We had an amazing and sold out 2nd Annual Naughty But Nice Peepshow to celebrate the season. The a nice, mellow holiday… ahh…

January has been wonderfully creative - created a new act to “Luck Be A Lady Tonight” - to debut at the 2nd Annual Bump & Grind Valentine and a singing act! EEK!!! Plus a new group act with the girls as well!

My burlesque world is definitely in full swing! Festival applications flying out the door! Tour planning all over Western Canada! Scheming to go back to Europe later in the year too!

Looking forward to sharing a fun, creative and busy 2012!!!

Hamburg!!!

Thu, 08 Dec 2011 16:55:00 -0800

I had a fabulous trip to Hamburg in November! I performed for two nights with Koko la Douce and Miss Nutty Fruitcake at the Queen Calavera - Germany’s first burlesque club! And then I spent an evening with Hedo Luxe at Bar 439 for Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. I also had a delightful visit with Miss Eve Champagne while I was in town!

Here’s one of the drawings!
