Tell us a little about yourself! (details or get declined)
I'm a dancer and Burlesque performer based out of Chicago who travels all over the country performing. I train at least once a week with Michelle L'amour and I dance weekly shows in Chicago. You can see me perform at the Pink Monkey, Sevens Cabaret, and Motel Bar just to name a few. In addition I work a full time job as an Event Designer and I Freelance as a Graphic Designer! And if that weren't enough :) I model and volunteer. So I'm a busy gal but I Love my Vida Loca.

I've a good deal of experience modeling and doing pin-ups. I've hosted pin-up workshops and adore photography as an art form. I'd love to pair up with more enthusiasts. I'd also enjoy forming partnerships with more photographers, MUA's and Creative minds who have the desire to see ideas into realities!

    Thanks! Atlanta does have great flea markets and thrift shops. My store is actually based out of our home right now (it's crazy in my house!) When my husband had to have brain surgery last year we had to close our store. It was in Covington (30 miles east of Atl). Now that he's OK, we are hoping to reopen around January. Well since you are coming to Atl, you must go to Little 5 Points! This little place is heaven for people that love vintage. I would be glad to give you directions if you'd like them.

    you know i'm ready to spill over with fashion speak!!
  • Your feather pic's are really cool...............
  • LuLu

    It's hard to choose the best because they are all unique in their own way but my faves are The Clothing Warehouse, Stefan's Vintage, and I really love psycho sisters & Rag-o-rama. The last 2 have a vintage clothing section (the whole store isn't vintage) but if you have time to look it's worth it because they have really good prices. Also, since you're a burlesque performer you should check out Big City Burlesque in Atl.
  • Tara Mi Sioux

  • Roxi Dlite

    ACK! No! I didn't get my order after all. Babe, word of advice... NEVER order from Burlesquecostumes.com totally unreliable. Well, I Guess it forces me to get better at my sewing skills!

    Last night I made a mini witch hat, and spider web pasties....and am attempting (fingers crossed ) to make a long giant puffy tutu and a strip panel skirt today. Im doing a witch show in a giant moon and a trapeze broomstick act.. ( between you and me, I've never been on a trapeze and have no idea what the heck Im doing). lol

    What do you have planned for your show? I bet it's gonna be fantastic!

    Oh no! That is bad news. What do you have planned for a show? I hope you get your money back. Oh and the same goes for you too sweetness... I wanna see footage! I hope it all falls into place for you toots.

    p.s. am I too old to go trick- or - treating? Im very tempted!
  • Ava des Mortes

    I've fallen in love! I don't think I'd have the guts to do burlesque
  • Lydia VonScollon

    keep it shaken girlie!!
  • Roxi Dlite

    Ha Ha Ha that sounds great! I love the ghost idea. Id love to see it so hopefully you can get it on tape. Next year you should try to come to Detroit and perform Theatre Bizarre with me, it's an out door venue. They have a giant stage, a haunted house you have to walk through to get into the venue, a giant devil head you walk through to get to a bon fire, a cat head you walk through to get to the dj tent, a shooting gallery, a dunk tank... ok, just put it this way, they have everything! Every year they build more and add to it, and since it's on someone's massive property it goes late, like till the sun comes up. They pay pretty good for shows too... Check out this website....http://www.theatrebizarre.com/ I know it's like a year away but they start planning the next show as soon as this one is finished. It's the best halloween party Ive ever been to, I look forward to it each year. Oh, and of course you could stay at my place! :D

    Sorry for rambling... Im trying to waste time so I dont have to finish my costume!!! lol
