One of the things about studying Burlesque history that has always made me curious is why there are so many burlesque stories that center the white experience and so few that are centered around The experiences of Black and Brown performers. Until now!
Don’t get me wrong, any story on this topic is a crucial piece to understanding whorephobia and explaining why sex work and sex work adjacent work needs advocacy and visibility. I’m thankful anytime I come across stories that give wo...

“Rose La Rose made herself a reputation as “the bad girl of Burlesque” because of her uninhibited actions on stage.
In 1953 detective slipped by the sensor guard with cameras concealed in their coats through the buttonholes of their coats they shot infrared film of Rose Larosa‘s dance that film when shown in court resulted in the closing of the old Howard burlesque forever.”

So many of my NYC burlyq friends, inspirations and acquaintances speaking up on this topic.
I’m not going to add my 2 cents because Puerto Rico is a different pandemic story entirely but I will say that I dearly miss the live crowds. Additionally, I miss my friends and my tribe. A few of which are featured in this article on the performers dealing with the extensively depressing down time and the future of NYC Burlesque nightlife

I spent yesterday with my friend Menesis, filming this incredible Jonquil dressing gown that I picked out East on my second pick after Covid kicked up.
Jonquil is primarily a bridal lingerie line that started on a romantic note in 1980 by designer Diane Samandi. While Jonquil is not an antique line, it has been around long enough to become a beautiful vintage line.
In 2007, Jonquil began incorporating molded cups into their designs and celebrated huge succe...

Yesterday was a beautiful Saturday on the beach. The sunshine is strong medicine and the waves are entrancing.
I’m so thankful and happy that we decided to brave a new place.
If you could move anywhere in the world, where would it be?

A few years ago I had never really tried to garden. I always wanted to but simply didn’t have the privilege of staying home long enough to make anything grow.
One of the things I e embraced during this pandemic is gardening. I had started toying around with understanding plants a year prior but was constantly frustrated with the results.
There are a few prevalent problems with gardening in the tropics, heat and sun burn the plants, the humidity can cause root rot and the insect...

I’ve been honored to have the chance to help bring the art of burlesque into the hearts and lives of these incredible performers.
We have all learned so much from eachother and I’m fortunate to have this family to help me understand island life and how to maneuver here.
I’m so proud of how hard this crew has worked to understand the heart and roots of burlesque.

Psychedelic fire frenzy! People in circus and burlesque and belly dance have been using silk wings and scarves and veils like this right here forever. It creates illusion, movement, obviously is beautiful to look at and you can achieve a lot and take up an entire stage with very little movement. More bang for your buck as they say.
Also, Jeremy killed it on this video!
