About Me |
|
| I am a Burlesque performer and Pin-Up model. I manage my own talent and produce a show called "Buckingham Burlesque". I design hats, corsets and costumes. I also work as a (ventriliquist) puppet makers assistant by day for DanPayesPuppetry.com I started performing Burlesque in 1989 when it was pretty much way out of style. At the age of 19, I was lucky enough to land a job at The 'old' Body Shop on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood when it was still one of the last ongoing Burlesque clubs in the country. Many comedians, magicians, and aspiring actresses got their start there. I worked alongside Kitten Natavidad before I even knew what a big deal she was! My role model; so to speak, was the feature dancer there that went by the name of 'Katz'. I played it safe with my acts while working at The Body Shop, sticking mostly to a classic style at the request of the owner. Jamal was quite the burlesque connesuier and ran a tight ship. After leaving the Body Shop when it came under new ownership, I traveled quite a lot and performed across the country as more of a feature act. I became more well known for my "performance art" style. Heavilly influenced by Alice Cooper, I began to do more blood, gore, and comedy acts. By the time the "Swing Craze" came about I was so taken aback by The Squirrel Nut Zippers music that it really changed my life and my acts. With more of a spring in my step and smile on my face I began to perform more lighthearted, fun, and cutesy acts. Then burlesque CAME BACK! Wow! I never thought that would ever happen! Suddenly it was OK to be sexy again!...Thank Goodness! No more looking like a "freak" trying to put on a show for audiences that didn't know or understand "Burlesque". Now it's everywhere again and I am soooo thankfull! Now days I like to stretch myself to do every kind of act I can think of or am inspired to do. I have about 35 acts now and they range from styles of the 1920's through the 1960's ( Well Alice Cooper counts as more of a 70's thing ) And all kinds of themes from 50's pin-up to 60's Space Girl, to Wizard of Oz, to Masquerade, to Day of the Dead, to Marie Antoinette. From blood and gore to comedy and seduction. It's all so fun and I am oh so glad there's such a wonderful audience for it now! Check my calander for all upcoming performances. Here are some of the events and venues I've performed at or been involved with: THE GLAMOURCON 1992-96 THE COMIC-CON 1993-97 EXOTIC WORLD 2004,2005,2006 TEASE-O-RAMA 2003,20O5,2007 ROCK-A-BILLY SHOWDOWN ~ HOLLYWOOD 2004 VIVA LAS VEGAS Burlesque Competition 2005 & 2008 THE GAY PRIDE FESTIVAL SANTA MONICA 2003 & 2005 "Oh la L.A." 2005 ( The Orpheum Theater)L.A.

I got to meet Alice Cooper, Johnette Napolitano, Cassandra Peterson, and Nina Hagen but I didn't get to hang out with them long enough, so I'd like to do that as well. ( greedy huh? ) Everyone else I'd like to meet is already dead so I guess I'll have to wait till I get to the other side.....Vincent Price, Bella Lugosi, Clark Gable, Vivienne Leigh, Lili St.Cyr, and Johny Cash.As far as MySpace goes: Fellow dancers, producers/booking agents, photograghers, magazine editors, lovers of cheesecake pin-ups, people who dig Rock-a-billy and the like, Southern gentlemen and belles, banjo players, toe tappers, happy flappers, and enthusiastic clappers!
