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!
How did you find PL? (Who referred you?, What site was the link on? What keywords did you search?) Be detailed, It helps us advertise and thank people!
My dear sweet Nina, how are you, my friend? I'm so glad to hear from you. To have great friends like you is such a treasure to me! Sweetness, may everyday be a day of wonderful sun-filled skies & beautiful flowers, cause that's what I see when i see wonderful people like you. Stay sweet & take care, precious! xxx
Why thank you, it's a natural...the goofy part at least. ;P
I've never been down there, but I've heard all about your store and admired it online! I've just agreed to takeover a retail store downtown Victoria in June, it's weird to be joining the 'ranks' of those i've admired!

Hi Nina! it's been a while. I really hope you like this book. It's heresy at it's most original. Only a Canadian could write this book. I hope you like it or you'll never come back for a book suggestion! You're still one of the bast looking girls around … don't tell my other girlfriends!
Short answer: yes... mostly by the legs but the breasts added to my distraction too, haha. Sweet I'm going to put on my eyeglasses&mustash disguise and sneak in sometime ^_~
What? I look awesome in my Groucho painted mustach and glasses!! teehee. I'm much betta looking hiding behind my ladies... except when I'm drinking! That's when I put on my fez and smoking jacket and cut the rug ^_^
Yet another contradiction … Shy and beautiful. I've always been surprised by that combination yet I've encountered it more than I would have ever thought.
Sup Nina, for sure the collection has expanded very fast! ! ! And you wont here any arguments from me regarding more Nina Nightshade submissions! Your photos just keep getting hotter and hotter so bring it on!
Oh my gosh we're soul mates! Haha. I was reading your bio and read that you're also a belly dancer!! That's awesome! I can belly dance but I'm not lucky enough for it to be something I make money doing! ha That must be so much fun!
I'm glad you liked it. I have to go to my bookshelf. I'm sure I have The Butterfly Plague but I can't remember the story off hand. My favourite is Famous Last Words. Most of them are great!

I just was weirded out that Disney who invented Chesire would get it all mixed up.
I just commented someone else about this...
Johnny Depp & Tim Burton are doing a version of Alice in Wonderland for next year.
That is going to be awesome!!
