Upcoming show: FemmeFest '24

 Happy World Burlesque Day! I haven't retired yet, but I have cut back on doing burlesque and drag. This includes blogging about it although I will eventually write the posts that have been in the backburner for a couple of years. Right now there's just other projects that have my focus (on top of getting my mental health sorted out).

I do, however, have a show coming up. It's the only DFW performance in the near future, and it's a festival! I'll be a part of FemmeFest's Gayliens early Saturday showcase at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studio in Denton on June 15. The early show starts at 7 PM, but your ticket gets you into both shows of the day. Or you can get a pass for all 4 shows of the weekend. Click here to take advantage of the early bird pricing!

Upcoming show and some things to note

Long time no see! I've been neglecting this blog because I find myself at a sort of crossroads with burlesque and drag. If you've noticed, I haven't had many gigs, in person or virtual. Although the opportunities have definitely decreased, I haven't tried very hard either. At the end of 2023, I was wondering if The Galactic Salon would be my swan song. I created a big number, and the show is the perfect blend of burlesque and poetry, which is something I've put more energy towards. However, I'm not completely ready to say goodbye. I have applied to a couple other shows, but this is my only in-person appearance for now. And it's sold out!

My other note is that as a citizen of the world, I must make clear my support for Palestine. Quite often I wonder what I am doing with working on a new act when genocide is happening and my country is letting it happen. I do try to call my reps whenever I can, and I've donated to charities and an eSIM. I'm not an important artist who would get the chance to go to Israel, but I still signed the Queer Artists for Palestine in show of solidarity (I've also signed a letter for skateboarders). Click here for more info and please keep calling your reps, protesting, donating, whatever you can to resist the normalization of this genocide.
