More Footage - from my old friend Everett Orbit - a short animated film from 2004, premiered at the Sex Workers Film Festival in that same year. An abstraction of the "Daisy" routine.
I perform and teach classes as Miss Indigo Blue, The TwirlyGirl all around the world, providing smart, funny, and sexy entertainment and education to the depraved masses.
I am the Headmistress of the Seattle-based Academy of Burlesque, offering performance workshops, tassel-twirling classes, and weekly dance classes.
I'm the President and Chief Twirling Officer of TwirlyGirl Pasties, creating extraordinary pasties for discriminating nipples.
I am also the founder of BurlyQ Queer Cabaret, the nation's first Queer Burlesque Troupe, which is now being directed by Fancy Chance in London.
I am a performing and touring member of The Atomic Bombshells, a New Orleans-flavored burlesque troupe. Check out our PROMO VIDEO:
You can most often catch me Burlesqueing at The Triple Door for special events with The Atomic Bombshells, Lily Verlaine Productions, and The Swedish Housewife Presents.
Seattle is one of the busiest cities on the globe for Burlesque.
