Metal UNCHAINED!

Hey Hob Gobs,

I just got back from Texas! Last night was the Broads and Panties presents: Metal UNCHAINED show! I have been looking forward to this show for a while! Well, seeing how I LOVE the headliners a ridiculous amount I'm a little Biased. I felt completely honored to be a part of it, and that one of those ladies recommended me for the show! <3 It is always good seeing friends! I was so excited that I would get to see Kira again.. I never make it out to L.A, so I don't see her very often. I was so happy to be a part of this show, to work with such amazing people and perform for an awesome crowd! I got one of the best responses that I have ever had from a crowd, fans, and even my friends that attended!

Unfortunately, the day before the show I got dehydrated because my sleep schedule was off and I overslept... woke up at 3 in the morning to discover that I was pretty sure that I had a kidney infection. I went to the doctor and sure enough: kidney infection! So yesterday I had to run some last minute errands... with a fever from the infection, in 100+ degree weather, in an un air conditioned car. My senses were off and I drove very casually like a crazy lady... probably a combination between little food, meds, fever and the heat.. but I was so out of it. Got pulled over and yelled at by a cop...my husband was on the phone in the seat and heard the colorful words.. so awesome. It could have been the tearful anxiety driven reaction to the cop screaming at me, or the nipple slip that may have happened (it was a low cut shirt...it happens... seat belts, you know?).. but even after the crazy driving and such (probably could of had 5 tickets worth) he let me go. Scott free. Needless to say I sat there for a moment, completely perplexed.

Went home, finished packing, left for Texas early, got caught in horrible construction sites leaving town...plus someone rear ending a horse trailer and stopped traffic. We were at a standstill twice in our trip. We still made it to the show on time. Had plenty of time to settle everything. It was such an awesome, relaxed, and drama free show. I really had an amazing time. Although I was super sick, and my kidneys were screaming by the time my first number came up, I had so much fun! I danced to Motorhead and had such a great reaction! The rest of the show was awesome, I enjoyed every performer thoroughly, onstage and off(I won't lie, backstage burlesque antics are the BEST!) and was so happy to see them perform! Those are some amazing ladies! After the show we made rounds, mingled. I got to meet some Facebook friends and fans, which is something I always enjoy!

I just wanted to thank everyone who made this show happen, and for having me as a part of the show! And of course a BIG thank you for everyone who came out to support us, you were an awesome crowd! <3

Farewell, Eva Avarice!

Good Mourning,

Last night was such a wonderful evening. I am coming into my own a bit more! I am preparing a new routine to be my first complicated routine...the first, hopefully, impressive one! I looove the venue and the crowd. I have friends come to shows to support me, and that means a lot. It was our 'burlesque send off' for the woman that currently runs the "7 Deadly Sins Revue", Eva Avarice! I won't lie, I have not known her long, but I have connected with her so much. She has been amazing, a godsend, she truly has. I'm not sure I could still be doing this without her. A best friend in such a short time, I adore her. I absolutely adore her! She has spent hours and hours with me, supporting, helping me, teaching me so much. Words can barely describe how much I appreciate all that she has done!

The two women that I personally know (not just performers that I watch online, tv...etc) are leaving/have left.. I have the other girls to help, so I am not alone, but these two women have influenced me so greatly, I'm not sure what I'll do! They both are incredibly talented, and I can't wait to see them shine as they move up in the world!

Thank you, Sugar!


Stay Spooktacular,

Biting The Apple

Hey Boils and Ghouls, 

Tonight concluded the two night show; Biting The Apple; Redefining Red: Exploring the Color Of Eros. What a lovely two-night erotica/art show, indeed! Red just so happens to be my favorite color! Despite the insanity that is the behind the scenes of five performing acts sharing a tiny stockroom for a dressing room and just the flurry behind a burlesque show.. it went very well. Our troupe did our Group performance each night, and our solos were split up between the two nights. I got to do my new and improved Solo, which unfortunately had some behind the scene kinks, which wasn't even our fault,  but I still had a nice response! So thank you for everyone who cheered and supported us. We have quite a few performances left in the next month or two. Please check my calendar for dates and details!!

Until then; 

     Stay Spooktacular,

My First Burlesque Show!

Death is only the beginning..

Hello Boils and Ghouls, 

I'm beginning a new chapter in my life. I'm becoming a burlesque dancer! Last night was my first introduction as Vera Voodoo! 

After admiring the art for so long, I have longed to do it... but never thought I would be able to. Certain events inspired me to do more in my life and being pushed from a few people, including my long time love and husband, I am entering into this new world!

At this point, I have studied a lot, all but joined a revue here in my city, and am now working on my first routine! The darling inside the revue who has been helping me has been so supportive and helped me hone my creative skills and we made an adorable costume!

I went to my first gig last night, and along with the other new girl in the revue was the pickup artist for the girls! It was a group member's birthday show, and we made a sexy cake out of her, sprinkled her with goodies and spoon-fed it all to the crowd, it was a steamy mess of half-naked hotness!

I'm keeping this to keep track of where I start, and where I end. It shall be an interesting show. 

Dropping dead for now, Ghoulies. 

Until then; 

     Stay Spooktacular,
