    Rose City School of Burlesque Graduate

    Chica Vroom Graduates!

    Wow! Still recovering from the adrenaline crash.  The night was a blur but what I know is that the whole experience was exhilarating.  I didn’t get to see my classmates perform.  I guess I was scared to be seen beforehand.  Why? Who knows.  It was thrilling to listen to the music and the crowd roar for them.

    As for my performance, I can see the lights and hear the cheering and remember thinking about the prop and clothing malfunctions but rather than berating myself, I smile.  I did it!  Hoop Burlesque! And I loved it!!!

    Now it’s time to start on the second number and polish the first.  Hauling a metal clothing wardrobe to support a shower curtain is a lot of work!

    Thank you for all the love and support.  And to my Rose City School of Burlesque classmates, you are amazing and I am so grateful to have met you and shared this amazing experience with you.  Also, my instructors kicked ass!  Holly Dai, Meghan Mayhem, Zora Phoenix and Tana the Tattooed Lady.

    Vroom Vroom!

    YIKES!

    Tonight is the night and I just saw video of me at dress rehearsal.  How can a performance that, in your mind, has so much more energy in your head look so blah?  I did a second run and I know it went better.  Being on stage and NOT in my hoop is so foreign to me.  Maybe I should’ve gotten a little coaching.  Again, in my mind it was working out.  Well,  it’ll be over before I know it.  :-)

    Dress rehearsal was a blast!  My Rose City School of Burlesque classmates kicked ass. The hair and costumes were amazing and we helped each other work out the kinks.  It was nerve racking but thrilling.  I fucked up a lot and with the help of another student, I will have it on video. :-)

    Introducing Chica Vroom!

    I’m working on timing, interacting and trying to get more time in my hoop because once I’m there, oh man, I’m in my element and it feels so good.  I am getting caught up in a costume change and I forgot two pieces for my shower curtain.  However, the other girls helped me by holding up the the curtain during the performance and I kinda like that!  It made the curtain move and dance.  Maybe I’ll enlist a handsome man dressed in mechanic’s coveralls to hold it up during the performance.  It’ll save me from having to haul all that gear!

    It’s a learning process none-the-less.  And it’s another supportive community.  My classmates were so inspiring.
