Welcome to 2020! I was thrilled to be asked to perform for the New Year's Party at local Las Vegas hotspot, The Golden Tiki. Their regular Tuesday event, Tiki Teaseorama is presented by Bettie Page Rum and is hosted by one of the hardest working gals I know, Darby Fox. Darby requested that I do my fans, but being that this was a joyous celebration, I opted to perform to a slightly different tune than my signature song, Wicked Game (by Chris Isaak).

The evening started out a little hectic as I settled in with costume and fans in tow. As I arrived, Fuse Henry & the Lonely Drifters were already rocking the stage and I was greeted by hellos from friendly faces all around.

As to my norm, I show up with hair and face already done, so there wasn't any reason for me to hide in back to get myself dolled up. Which was wonderful because my friend, Pony Poison joined me for the evening, so we were able to socialize and attempted to take photos throughout the evening. I decided to wear my extra sparkly "Snow Queen" costume that I had made for Red Hot Nutcracker (2018). Sure it was a costume, but it also makes an exceptional party dress as well! I was unable to perform in Red Hot Nutcracker this year, so I might as well get my monies wears out of it! Based on the fact that I am a blonde and the design of the dress, it always turns out that I become an accidental Marilyn Monroe!
Pink Sleaze. Just the Way I like it.*
When it came to the Burlesque portion of the evening, Darby Fox opened up the first set with a fantastic routine. A high energy flapper Charleston of a number, which was rather fitting for the 20's theme everyone seemed to have -- I didn't get the memo! It was now my turn. I performed a new number of sorts -- a variation of another new number that I am polishing up. This one starts out with a slow burn bump and grind striptease with stocking removal then moves on to the second part. The requested fan work! It's a bit humbling to hear the audience cheer for you knowing you just want to entertain them for a few minutes and make them forget their troubles in that short bit of time. It's a wonderful feeling knowing you did a job well done! I really do hope the audience enjoyed my performance and it wasn't just the booze cheering! The band played another set and it's almost time for the countdown but there is still time for a bit more Burlesque. Alaina Rose Lee followed. I have never seen Alaina perform before but was delighted to watch this gal tease the crowd. She gave a delightful Marlene Dietrich fashion inspired number that was just as jazzy as the 20's themed crowd of the evening! After she wowed the audience the countdown began! Happy 2020!

Hold this for me, wontcha?*
Shortly there after, Pony and I found ourselves at a local bar/restaurant where we ate the most horrendous pizza possible while she flirted terribly with the bartender!
I hope you all had a wonderful celebration over New Years! I am looking so forward to blogging again and just connecting with like minded folks! I do have goals, intentions, and resolutions for 2020... 3 of which I broke in less than 24 hours... and my mood has been uplifted this year, more than in years past, so let's see what the days bring us!
Kisses in the New Year!*

Thank you to all the people whose photos and clips I stole borrowed for this post. You are the real MVP's.
Guys!! I met WWE (WWF) Wrestling legend Brutus the Barber Beefcake and Marty Jannetty of The Rockers!!! My 10 year old self was fangirling like the derpiest of derps! I was lucky enough to meet them after my performance at Freakshow Wrestling Official at Fremont Country Club this past weekend in LasVegas
Meeting Brutus the Barber Beefcake was a the cherry on the sundae that was Freakshow Wrestling Bad Decisions! Thank you SinnBodhi and Karen Kreep for having me be part of your World of Weird... so happy I could do my thing in your ring. Sorry I added some class to your beautiful wonderland! *wink*
Fun Facts: Brutus was my sister's favorite wrestler and The Rockers were my favorite tag team!
Earlier this month I did a soft debut of my new act, Jeu Diabolique (Wicked Game). This act has been in my head for over 10 years just waiting and waiting and waiting to be made. I have been putting it off until I could get my dream fans built.
When Dick Ginger asked if I wanted to be in his tiki themed show, Winter Wipeout, I decided that I would finally make Jeu Diabolique happen with or without my dream fans. Luckily for me Dick's wife, Mae du Luc, let me borrow her fans for the act. I made the base costume for the act, but will be redoing it with it's originally intended Art Nouveau inspired design. Not to mention -- I shall get my fans!! Muhahahaha!!
I just wanted to share some photos from the soft debut of Jeu Diabolique. I am even more excited to debut the full act in the future!
