Viva La Muerte

April is going to be a fun month! I’ll be returning for the 4th time to my very favorite burlesque fest, the Texas Burlesque Festival on Saturday April 14th to compete and hopefully defened my title of ‘most original’ two years running now!

Then on April 20th is the next Hot & Heavy Burlesque Show! We are doing something very special to Chicago and paying tribute to Industrial Music in Termination Tease! This show will feature over 15 burlesque-sideshow-variety performances + live music by Flood Damage and Featured Performers – Lady Monster (OH), Allura Fette (MO) & Miss Pussykat (MI)!

After our 4/20 industrial bash it’s off to one of my other favorite places, Toronto! I love any chance to escape into Canada and I look forward to performing at Atlas Obscura Day!

I am proud to announce the next big production from my troupe Hot & Heavy Burlesque!

More details and tickets will be made available very soon!

It’s a very exciting week! The 3rd annual Hot & Heavy Burlesque Tribute To Pink Floyd’s THE WALL opens this Thursday! Many thanks to the fine folks over at the Columbia Chronicle for publishing this exceptional article on our event. Hope to see you at one of the shows!

I am proud to support We Are Halsted this week as they raise money for local shelter ‘The Crib’ that supports queer homeless youth. This is a great cause and will be a night to remember!

This year October was an amazing whirlwind for me, and definitely my biggest October yet!  I started out with performing at the 9th Annual New York Burlesque Festival at the Highline Ballroom. After that came the big Hot & Heavy Burlesque Halloween show! I was so proud of my cast for bringing some super high quality and entertaining acts. My thanks to The Everscathed for the music and Rhea D for the fashions! And especially our good friends at Horror Society for sponsoring the show!  After our show it was time to hit the road again! I got to experience the magic of Theatre Bizarre in Detroit, MI for the 1st time and had a delightful time performing there.  Back home in Chicago for a short time after that I performed in Lula Houp Garou’s ‘Trick or Tease’ at Debonair, and ‘Nite Shift’ from the Stage Door Johnnies at Bottom Lounge. Then the weekend came and I grabbed the suitcase again and went out to Martinsburg, WV for a great feature dancing gig at Legz club. I’m back home in Chicago for a bit now and catching my breath and catching up on life!
