WAAHHH!! I’m sorry!! I haven’t been posting lately.. mostly due to me getting laid off from the old day job and the subsequent drunkness that entailed  Took a week off to figure it out and its figured!!!! For now anyway.. but I’m back and I promise mostly daily postings about all things Burlesque!!! In apology I offer you a terrible picture of me being still hungover/drunk in the morning after our Victoria show this weekend. xoxoxo

Last night was one of Delilah Dare’s last performances with Pandora and the Locksmiths as she will be leaving early May for a job opportunity in South Africa!! I fucking love Delilah!! Besides being a super talented dancer, she also is extremely creative and not afraid to be hilarious!!! Delilah was accepted to perform on the Thursday night showcase for a bellydance/burlesque fusion number which she had to turn down but she’ll be back!!! Wait until next year Burlesque world!! Just wait.. You need to experience this talent!!  Just wanted to give her a shout out and mention that you can still catch her at this years VIBF on opening night.

From an interview with LA producer and performer Lili VonSchtupp:

“Practice. And understand(ing) that while some of burlesque is very empowering on a personal level, a good performer puts the audiences needs above their own. This is a job, a really cool amazingly fun job, but still a job.”
