Sephora Majora

I never take those “insider” club things that retail stores do very seriously. But I was pleasantly surprised when I visited Sephora for my promised “Beauty Insider” birthday gift. They actually gave me a generously sized bottle of birthday cake bodywash! Whee!

Pictured also is my bday card from my bf. It represents not only his perverted desire for me to be an underage harlot but also my relunctance to be old and dusty at the ripe age of 22. I’ll be celebrating my “Terrible 22” at a Sesame St themed burlesque show, ha!

So, despite how excited I was to get a useful and desirable free gift from a beauty store, there’s always a catch. The cashier threw this sample in at the last minute…

Backhanded b-day! So mean…haha

Movember Madness!

So you thought November was a slow month didja? Well, I’m here to tell you otherwise. Here is a breakdown of a few projects I’m involved in this month, but I don’t mean that in a me, me, me way- there are lots of awesome entertainers heading these shows.

1. Sunday November 13th: Great Canadian Burlesque’s Brunch @ the Caddy

The first in a series of new monthly shows, brunch ft. naked ladies is bound to be a satisfying dish. This month the headliner is none other than the sizzling Amber Ray.

(Style: Classic – Modern)

2. Thursday November 17th: Great Canadian Burlesque’s Sesame Street Strip Tease

Everyone has Muppet-fever this month but Sesame Street is a GCB fave. Headliners Anita Cookie and Minnie D’Moocha from NYC will light up the stage alongside Toronto burly-darlings such as Tanya Cheex, Mitzy Cream, Parker & Seville and the Wolfman! Another one from the vaults of the madcap mind of Mysterion and his hostess with the mostess Fionna aka Fifi.

(Style: Humourous/Modern)

Note: this is my birthday show, as I am turning 22 on the 9th I found it befitting of my “Terrible Twenty-Two” celebration. I’d appreciate if as many of my friends as possible could make it out for this joyous occasion.

3. Saturday November 19th: The Roustabout Revue

Starring Mina LaFleur and masterminded by Esther DeVille & co., this show is bound to be classy and classic. Not only does it feature burlesque but also a variety of circus and comedy performers as well as cute lil chorus girls (look out for me here, just don’t look to close..it’s my first time doing this genre of choreographed synced up dancing..).

(Style: Classic/Vaudeville)

4. Sunday November 20th: SIN: Burlesque “Good Golly Miss Molly”

GCB lands in Stratford! Core members of the GCB team will perform alongside adorable and salacious Sassy Ray (as seen at GCB’s September Monthly) at their Stratford Debut at Molly Blooms.

(Style: Classic – Modern)

5. Saturday November 26th: The Underground Peepshow’s The Evil Leauge of Sexy

Hey. who’s the cover girl? Hubba hubba! Haha….erm..

The Underground Peepshow returns with a vengeance in their third installment of burlesque shows, this time featuring a cast of villainous characters from all sorts of media. Get in touch with your naughty side just before realtime holiday season begins.

(Style: Modern)

Hope I get the chance to see your smiling beautiful faces at one, two, some, or all of these events, friends. And if we’re not friends, please do come say hi. Turning shows into socials makes the event.

Up & Coming

Playing this month:

Mysterion’s Birthday Bash

&

GRINDHOUSE GHOULIES

I’ll be debuting a new act at Grindhouse Ghoulies and am nervous, scared, and excited.

Look out for more updates for November, I have the privilege of being a part of 3 very different, very awesome shows, one of which I did a promo shoot for earlier tonight with Alex of If You Fall. We also recently shot a photo of me as a childhood spooky movie icon, which will appear in The Underground Cinema 2012 calendar. Whee! Rumour has it they will be rolling out these bad boys for Toronto After Dark.

Hope to see some friends out and about at these events!
