Shot by Ben Britt, which is why I already have video from Friday night.
If you've been around for a bit, you're already familiar with this act. Two things to note.
1. I always put in festival notes and intro requests on this one for the host not to spoil the surprise. The goal is to surprise and delight the audience ...

It's show day! Now, I love performing. It's hella fun to help people forget about the unpleasant parts of life.
That said, I am so tired. Last night was my 15th John Mayer concert so I didn't get to bed until 1am. That wouldn't have been such a big deal ten years ago, but it reall...

Here's a little photo from Tiki Oasis last week. I didn't bother retouching or cropping. He thought I was crazy to climb in the pond. I was crazy to get as close to the waterfall as I did because my hair was like cotton candy. (Too much water would've made all that hairspray int...
2019-08-16 20:12:42 +0000 UTC View PostI took so many suitcases to Tiki Oasis. Lots of clothing, accessories and fake hair. I wore at least two outfits a day. I had spreadsheets for activities and wardrobe. I'm a bit of a minimalist in life, so this was nuts.
That said, it was hella fun.
2019-08-16 01:30:26 +0000 UTC View PostI'm here in San Diego enjoying Tiki Oasis. I had a pinup shoot with Vixen Photography yesterday. Because it cost a chunk of change (and the images should be amazing), I asked if my hair could last for more than a day. My hair stylist made sure my hair was very secure, more secure than I realized it would be. I shot a look with M...

Fortunately, I'm not all out of sparkles. In fact, I just spent a day putting rhinestones on one of my go-go outfits for Tiki Oasis. I don't have any other costuming things to do for the debut of my act this weekend at Viva Dallas Burlesque, so I had to burn...
2019-08-01 22:10:25 +0000 UTC View PostThat's right-- it's my Big Fucking Fan Dance! This is the last of the fan videos for a while. I know it's been a little fan heavy for a bit.
I hopped out of the shower and headed to the studio for this, so I'm very bare. I also opted not to finish making the panty. I'll wear some that already exist and match the harness.
I got a lot of bubbles out of this bubble bar! I should get something this crazy for Tiki Oasis because someone else has to clean the tub!

When I was hustling up Miss Motoblot votes, I was sharing videos and pin-up tips online. I was contacted to teach a class based on that content, so I'm teaching this Sunday!
I hope I'm not too ambitious with my plans. We're going to shoot each student at the top of class (qu...
2019-07-24 01:33:42 +0000 UTC View PostHere's a little bonus behind the scenes. I vary my warm-up music when I get to the studio, depending on how much I have to do. With the fans, I have to tighten them up so they stay open, warm up my whole body and pay extra attention to my hands, arms and shoulders.
And, I make a little time for some 2019-07-20 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post
I thought this outtake would actually sum things up beautifully. :D
I learned this afternoon that I did not make the cut for Miss Tiki Oasis finalists. This is one of four things I put myself out there for in a short period of time that did not bear fruit. Well, not in the way one would anticipate. I was also surprised that a couple of bur...
2019-07-19 01:30:50 +0000 UTC View PostAll the stuff that takes place on the stage is a lot more glamorous than some of the backstage stuff. For example, I did this amazing show Friday at a venue that needed some backstage attention.

I've been so busy working on my Tiki Oasis go-go outfits and the outer dressings of my new act that I didn't even think about panties until last week. I want cage panties in nude, which are a little tough to find in the online marketplaces. My panty suppliers are all tied up with other commissions and activities that won't get things to me in ti...

I had applied to hostess at Tiki Oasis this year since I'm enduring plantar fasciitis in my right foot. I'm on CBD because the "extra-strength" drugs my doctor prescribed do nothing for the pain. (Natural redhead and all that.) I rest, ice, compress, tape and exercise my foot to help it heal.
I got notice after ...
2019-07-03 23:37:12 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the act I did for the May murder mystery show, just so I could get these fans on stage. That show is great for Mr. Snapper and I to do some material we may not cover otherwise. (We don't have to audition the material for this show.)
I'm wearing a lacy but sheer romper that's covered in cheap rhinestones. You can see through it. It'...

Specifically, I like to dress up like Elton John from his appearance in "The Muppet Show" and have Mr. Snapper strip me with a crocodile puppet while the audience sings along with hand puppets.

I was bested by two votes at the time of the deadline on Saturday night. I'm the first alternate, #21 in the list and only 20 get to perform.
Based on the chatter between contestants, it's unlikely someone will drop out. ...

Early photo by Madison Hurley the morning after a late show.
I bought this fancy What Katie Did lingerie set in late 2013. I loved the idea of sheer tap pants that have a cleverly-placed panel to cover the vice bits, so I blew a small wad of cash on the set. The trick is that I am not tall, so there isn't much space between the bottom of m...

I went with the bossa nova version of this song because it seems like it fits the theme better.
In truth, both of my parents have blue eyes.
