Happy World Burlesque Day! Here's a shot from my very first solo way back in 2008. Photographer unknown maybe Rocky. This is the routine that originated my name. The name was the only thing I kept and I never did this routine again. I took classes for two years before this performance. I joke that I have the equivalent of an associate's degree in burlesque and it cost me just as much. Of course now I teach after solo performing for over a decade. If me then could see me now. .:) Its gets better so much better! #burlesque #worldburlesqueday #plussizeburlesqueperformer #stlburlesque (at OFF BROADWAY MUSIC VENUE) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_dPnLnjbAy/?igshid=ifdrnisi47ci

I’m looking forward to teaming up with my @sailemfromhell who will be my partner in producing the darkest show to hit the grove in quite some time. This fall #TheDevilsCabaret takes over @monoclestl for some demonic queerness. Our first show is September 30th! Mark the date and stay tuned!!!!!

So many memories from the last 10 plus years. I've grown as a person, as a performer on this stage. Come out July 8th as we say goodbye to a Venue but the legacy of what the Way Out Club means will stay with us. #burlylife #burlesque #stllocal #stlburlesque (at The Way Out Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQwohm3DMYn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Rehearsing a burlesque routine I haven't done in nearly 10 years. This was the song that made me want to do burlesque in the first place and was one of the first routines I choreographed. This routine will be my final number on The Way Out stage. Which I don't think could be a more fitting tribute. I'm both excited and sad for this day to come. So come celebrate my birthday, Bobbos Birthday, Ellen's Birthday and the end of an era. The club, the family, that gave so much and asked for so little in return. #burlylife #burlesque #stlburlesque #stllocal #stlouis (at The Way Out Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQuusEDDU7c/?utm_medium=tumblr
