Day 3 of BurlyCon was a rollercoaster of emotions. The odd feelings of the day before lingered. I woke up so sore and depressed that I decided I wasn’t going to get out of bed. A class I had planned on attending since I looked at class schedule I decided to skip because I felt so awful. I had woken up in tears. I pushed through and made it class. I’m glad I did. It improved my mood. After lunch I tried to go to another class, but the weird feelings of inadequacy kept me from going. I tried to be social and hang out in the hospitality room but I was in there less than 5 minutes and ran back to room because I was so uncomfortable. I stayed there most of the afternoon. And slept. At dinner time I got texts to grab drinks and dinner. I showed up to the restaurant in my Cookie Monster onesie. That dinner was what I needed. Needed to spend some time bonding and chatting with my burlesque friends. I didn’t want to miss story time. And since I felt like a bum most of the day, I felt compelled to turn on the Lady Sapphire Noir Glamour Factor. I went to my room threw on some foundation and lipstick, changed into this gorgeous Wassa gown in my signature color and proceeded to walk through the hotel like I owned the joint. So much sass! The stories told at story time touched my heart, inspired me, made me cry, made me laugh. It gave me the BurlyCon experiences that I longed for. I attended the Peer Reviews. Offered the most helpful feedback I could give and cheered on my fellow performers. It was a full evening. Day 3 was so much better. #ladysapphirenoir #burlycon #burlycon2018 #burlyconxi #day3 #burlesqueperformer #burlesqueeducation #oldhollywoodglamour #pushingthrough #thepowerofglamour #sapphire #signaturecolor #wassa #royalblue #bluehair #storytime #peerreview #persona #timewithfriends #retro #sultrydarkjewelofburlesque #burlesque #emotionalrollercoaster #motivation #fierce #blackpinup #poc #performer #awardwinning (at Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqDFcEklsQy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mag0l4p3zq9s

I hate having massive amounts of anxiety. I feel completely alone and out of place for no reason. #burlycon2018 #ahhhhh #panic #whyamihere https://www.instagram.com/vectorparallax/p/Bp-aepWlqFP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bfgbaddgos00

First night at BurlyConXI. Back to School Night Meet and Greet last night was a blast. My customized Lettermen jacket was a big hit. I paired it with a cute school girl skirt and sequin Chuck Taylor’s. I was going to wear a T-shirt, but I couldn’t find it. So I wore my sparkly bra. #ladysapphirenoir #burlyconxi #burlycon2018 #bluehair #meetngreet #backtoschoolnight #sequinchucks #schoolgirlskirt #lettermenjacket #sapphireuniversity #sparkly #performer #burlylife #teamsapphire #poc #burlesqueeducation (at Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-AJbPFzvM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zihvvbaensld

Its 2:00pm on the first day, and I'm already tired. Am I getting old? #burlycon2018 https://www.instagram.com/vectorparallax/p/Bp74IbNFRBo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a3t5redlvq07
