Profile Information:

What best describes your role in the industry?: Model, Performer, Vendor
Tell us a little about yourself! (details or get declined): Where to start? Beyond beginning my crazy dream to be a Pin-Up Model and Burlesque Performer and producer, I am also a Mother, Business Owner, Bellydance Performer/Instructor, Costume Designer and Absinthe Lover.

I got into this fantastic world of cheesecake and rockabilly in 2007, when my hubby and I opened a fun little store called Cherry Redd. Our inspiration for the store was my life-long love of Bettie Page and all those classy beauties of pin-up.

In February 2008, our store hosted the fabulous Go-Go Amy for a weekend class/photoshoot on how to be a pin-up model. Sadly, it wasn’t until the second time we hosted the class, that I finally got up the nerve to say, “Hey, I think I might be able to do this!” And now, I’m hooked!!

It only took a short time from starting pin-up to convert my many years of belly dance into a burlesque performance and I’m not going back! I’ve had the unique privilege of being a guest performer for both the Glam-o-rama Girlie Show and the Pretty Things Peepshow... Now I'm starting my own show, Bergamot Burlesque!

And, of course, I have my hubby, Derek and my daughter, Sydney to thank for their support and encouragement as I step out and embrace what I love!

Thanks to you all for keeping the pin up lifestyle alive!

Hi, just wondering where the graveyard was in your pix? Looks like ours down here in the Big Easy.

Unfortunately, since Katrina a lot of the cemetaries are in bad dis-repair and are rotting away. Hopefully, sson the city will start preserving them again. On a happier note, your pix are great.
