I’m very lucky to be surrounded by exceptionally talented and motivated performers, so coordinating all of the talent is really the easy part. Your production company, Vaudezilla, offers a great deal, from dancers to all-out event planning, emcees to vintage celebrity look-alikes, and all the trappings of an entertaining evening, such as face painting and caricatures! How do you coordinate all your talent? So the truth is, I’m not really sure how I ended up with some of my ideas…I’m pretty sure they actually picked me. It’s not fool-proof…I’ve put together some stinkers, too, but once the idea is up and moving, that’s when I can tell if it’s good and start to refine it. One of the things that my particular performing education taught me was that “not thinking” and “not editing” is one of the best approaches to your preliminary expressions. My inspiration tends to appear out of thin air. Your numbers are marvelously unique and creative- where do you get your inspiration and what is your creative process like? During that time, I’d been watching burlesque shows, but it wasn’t until the end of 2007 that I decided to get involved in performing it. I went from being in a show all the time to just a few in a couple years – Elizabeth Proctor in “Crucible” and being part of a couple ensembles that did questionable sketch.

I worked in a couple of talent agency offices at first, and really got a solid picture of just how political the acting world in Chicago is, and I didn’t feel like starting over at the bottom to prove myself again. When I moved into the city of Chicago, I was surprised to find that the skills I had weren’t enough to get roles. In the ‘burbs’ I had my choice of some really prime roles, performing in at least 3 shows every year.

In college, I trained in acting, voice, and musical theater. You’re right! My first show was a church play in 1995. You have been performing burlesque since early 2008, modeling since 2003, and I take it you were a ‘theatre kid’ before that, correct? Tell me a little bit about your journey to becoming a burlesque sensation!
