This act started as a comedy bit in between acts in a Burlesque show. I never thought I’d do it more then a couple times, but the bit was so well received that I was invited to be a featured act in burlesque shows in Portland. The act has continued to be a popular number and I’ve performed it up and down the West Coast.

There are a few videos of this act accessible by direct link, but I’ve been shy about posting photos and videos of the “finished product” online. Best way to see this act is to come see it live.

For a teaser, you can view the behind-the-scenes slide show of a photo shoot I did for Portland Monthly.
