Music
Anything that makes me have to get up and dance is good by me!
Movies
The old song and dance movie gets me every time. So much inspiration. Have I mentioned that I'm obsessed with burlesque?
Television
What's that?
Books
Colette, Anaias Nin, "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd, "Kissing the Virgin's Mouth" by Donna M. Gershten, "If on a winter's night a traveler" by Italo Calvino, "Auntie Mame" by Patrick Dennis, and so many more! Lately I've been enjoying really good books about really bad women. Any suggestions?
I am a burlesque obsessed entrepreneur and innovator based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I've been teaching the wildly popular Burlesquercise!® dance classes for almost four years now, and I also teach private classes, Pinup Modeling Workshops, Costuming Workshops, and promote special workshops for guest instructors, including Cancan, Musical Theater, and more! I'm now producing Burlesquercise videos, so order yours today!
I am a co-founder of the clown burlesque troupe “Twist My Balloons!”, a member of the "Bottoms Up! Burlesque" collective, perform with an ever-changing ensemble of my students, "Bombshell Betty’s Burlesqueteers," and produce variety and burlesque shows in the Bay Area as well as working on other new and unusual burlesque projects. I've always got something new up my sleeve (or more likely slipped into my garter), so stay tuned for more wild and wacky antics!
Here are some photos from my Pinup Workshop and Photoshoot in Oct 2007 with Darling Propaganda. Check out my site for more photos from past workshops!
