December typically gets away from me. Mr. Snapper and I have headlined Nearly Naked Nutcracker in Dallas for five years. This means our entire lives become focused on the show for the month of December. This year we scripted, hosted and performed both nights. It was a labor of love and we're grateful Vivienne Vermuth trusted us with her baby.
Thank you so much for your support this year. You're helping me make progress on fantastic new projects and contributing to my burlesque career. I hope t...

This photo is ridiculously self-referential. I'm looking at myself in a magazine. This one was shot by Modern Noir one of the times I went to Dallas to do Nearly Naked Nutcracker.
I love these boots. I really love these boots. I only use them in one of my dance numbers. It's a damn shame because they're nice boots. Maybe I can break them out for another photo shoot soon.

I shot this photo with Madison Hurley Fuentez Photography earlier this year. I like to call these my "walking around pants." The shoes were a gift from Kitten Natividad.
We shot this on a white background for potential publication in a magazine. The publisher wanted it to look like it was shot in an actual house so Mr. Snapper created the tiles on the floor and the wallpaper in Photoshop.
Needless to say, the photo isn't being published in that magazine. I will share different phot...

I've had this logo since 2009. I love it very much. One of my junior college friends designed it. (He's really amazing. He's always been amazing.) I love the logo.
I want to add another one to my Snapper world. I want an additional logo.
I may just have a logo contest and award some cash and a tee with the new logo. Since you're on Team Snapper, what do you think would best be represented in the Snapper logo?

Also known as That One Time I Dressed in a New Costume and Got Pelted with Tortillas.
This is the ridiculously complicated corset I just made. You can't see all the sparkle since it was partly cloudy. It's damn sparkly. I'm also wearing the faux fur foxtail bustle I finished the night before. Mr. Snapper is the hobo to the left in the photo, Mr. Hollywood 2015 Kirby La Brea is to the right in the photo.
This was before I got the furry vest I showed you in the video.
You can see som...

Happy Thanksgiving to you, my friends. I appreciate your support so much.
Here's a fun shot from Modern Noir. Makeup and hair by Vivienne Vermuth, bra by Evie Lovelle. (I miss my snapper rhinestone necklace. I used to have five of them and I lost them all!)

Happy Turkey Week! Here's a little video you can download. I marched in the Doo Dah Parade in Pasadena today. I have a little story to share and a little thanks for giving at the end, just for you.

I made this Two Cups bra after the Kings won their second Stanley Cup. I touched the Cup. It was amazing. I want to touch it again. So much history, so much triumph represented by that fancy piece of hardware. So I made two cups. I love the Los Angeles Kings. They've made me a huge hockey fan. Too bad I don't skate very well.

Freedom to be naked except for a smile, bunny slippers and some fishnets. I thank you for supporting my ability to celebrate America. Makeup & hair by Evie Lovelle, photo by SH Photo.

My good friend Evie Lovelle got this nightie for me a couple years ago for photoshoots. I forget that I've shot in it a couple times and tend to take it along whenever I do a photoshoot. This was from a Modern Noir shoot a couple years ago. Makeup and hair by Vivienne Vermuth.

Tomorrow night I debut my Nurse Chapel number at Treklesque 3! I personally love Spock so I love that I can do a stripping tribute as Christine Chapel. I'm dancing to a Beyonce song. I made my dress and styled my wig over a month ago.
I decided on Monday that I should make LED pasties because I am insane. I can't use off-the-shelf stuff because they just aren't right. They're finally ready. They'll go nicely with my black cage panty.
So here's my final reveal. (My face and hair wil...

I was Hannah Montana for Burlesqueland one year. I stripped out of leather pants. We tried to convince the audience I was the Haunted Mansion at first. I think I was under a sheet with a flashlight under my chin. Absolutely ridiculous stuff.
I hope last night was filled with the excitement you prefer. I managed the Monday Night Tease and I'm ready for a chai latte.
Thank you for your support. More fun things to come in November!

This is my Redpool Playboy Bunny costume. I just got the photo back from Kelly Gardina Photography. Sharing with the cool kids before it makes its way onto social media. You also get the "inside baseball" on the costume.
I was initially going to do Redpool as a bodysuit but I got an insane idea to do it Playboy Bunny style. When you're doing a Deadpool tribute you have to follow the insane idea. I made it a little too roomy so I may take it in a bit or build a second one for the days I don't b...

My friend Doris Night made me this harness. It's supposed to rest above the boobs instead of below but I preferred this framing for jumping.
When I started this account I wanted to be able to share a little more than what you find on my other social media. This was after a show a couple weeks ago. My hair has collapsed and I'm covered in glitter and sweat. This is pure, happy ridiculousness.
I have a dream that involves a topless workout video based around a mini trampoline. ...

This is from my bathtub photoshoot with Modern Noir a couple years ago. My nipples are pale. When I did the Painted Lady art installation with Liz Goldwyn, we had MAC artists "punch up" my nipples with blush. Mr. Snapper was tasked with making my nipples a little rosier for the photo.

From my shoot with Modern Noir a few years ago. Hair & makeup by Vivienne Vermuth. Cupcake by Albertson's.
I pitched a cupcake shoot to a magazine. This was one of the unpublished photos we submitted. I think it came across as too overtly sexual for this nudie magazine. I heard through the grapevine that it made the publisher blush too much.
No one on set was blushing or uncomfortable shooting the photo. I think Mr. Snapper helped position my cupcake.

This is my Twitter cover photo. It's from my first shoot with Modern Noir in Ft. Worth, Texas. This was a custom ivy scarf made by a friend in my home town. Makeup and hair by Vivienne Vermuth.
It's not every day that I meet someone who is skilled at photographing me naked or nearly naked. This day was kismet. I love working with Modern Noir.

From the California Regional Burlypicks 2016, photo by Jason Kamimura. We won the improv category. We threw on our Kings jerseys for the challenge. We were given a premise (we were supposed to be drunk), a prop (stool) and a song (two minutes of Celine Dion).
I'm not always graceful or classy but I love to entertain, even if I have to look ridiculous doing it.

From my shoot with Madison Hurley Fuentes this spring. I was the first person to get naked outside of Miss Fancy, Madison's gingerbread house studio. Arkansas is "The Natural State" but isn't very enthusiastic about nudity. I didn't care.
Over my left shoulder you can see Central Avenue in Hot Springs, also known as Bathhouse Row. Lots of art galleries and shops on one side of the street, bathhouses on the other. It's a charming city.
Oh yeah, bunny slippers. Those are custom made by Mr....

From a photoshoot with Madison Hurley Fuentes earlier this year. This was shot on the bathroom floor of Miss Fancy, her vintage gingerbread house studio.
Funny story about this photoshoot. I had a gig in Little Rock, Arkansas, the night before. I rolled my hair and did my makeup in my hotel room, watching my weather app to time out my hour drive with the promised rain. I left during a sprinkle and wound up driving through flooded, twisting highways in my rental car. I rarely get nervous ...

Photo courtesy Modern Noir photo. Makeup & hair by Vivienne Vermuth. We shot a bathtub series a few years ago. Modern Noir wanted to catch some action shots. I think I just flipped my hair up.
