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.
