Since I'm enduring some foot pain with the plantar fasciitis diagnosis, I'm not dancing again until I have to shoot an audition video on the weekend. Instead, you get to hear one of the possible selections I have for Naked Girls Reading Dallas - Femme Fatales. It's a cross between ragamuffin Snapper and fancier Snapper.
Days before I shot this, I learned I'll be in Chicago in late August to do Muppet Burlesque at a nude club. Our team has to wear g-strings and pasties, but they're flying us into Chicago to do the show.

I drop a number of swears in this one because I have some opinions about producers and about shitheads who masquerade as producers. I've also got some opinions about this bath bomb.
My brows are really dark in this video. They're dirty blonde in life and I got them done the day before. They won't look natural (but a little darker) for a co...

Dallas is hot in the summer, and the humidity is terrible. I'm thinking about losing maybe five inches of hair so it brushes the...

From backstage at Viva Dallas Burlesque presents Reunion for Murder. This was my first look for the night.
I love being a hyphenate: dancer-writer-costumer-director-actor-host-singer-genius-taco enthusiast. On this particular night, I was the co-writer and director of the show. I also had some talking time on the stage before debu...

Shot by Ben Britt at Viva Dallas Burlesque last weekend. It would be on his YouTube feed for the show, but it's been banned in the US. That's probably because I use a sound clip from the film. I'm hoping that a private Vimeo link won't be flagged.

I was covered in body makeup, which meant I hit the shower before winding down for bed. I fell asleep close to 2am, up at 8:30am so I could deal with my darling dogs before a 10am slot at the studio.

As you may know, we make a ton of puppets for the performances because we try to send everyone home with a puppet.

One of the thrills of being a patron is that you sometimes spark ideas. One of you asked for a painting video a few months ago, and Mr. Snapper started growing his beard. I feel like he started this beard at the beginning of December, and we intended to shoot the video in time to release for Christmas. (Of course, we wound up in the emergency ro...
