Anything that involves an audience. Good times. Burlesque (of course!), Cabaret, Vaudeville, Variety, Musical Theatre. Our name in lights. Dressing up: fishnets, fringe, beading, sparkle, diamonds, feathers...as in boas or fans, hats, fedoras, gloves...long gloves, diamonds, heels...very high heels, pin curls, rhinestones, suspenders, swishy hair (we're ok with wigs and pieces), large hoop earrings, flowers, color, red, aqua, pinstripes, bow ties...yeah the sexy ones, polka dots and stripes...but not together, lipstick, lipgloss, lips, shiny things, did we mention diamonds? Cafes, pinups and classic cars. Jessica Rabbit. Muscles, nice smile, dimples, six foot two, green eyes...hotness.
