Enough of the 3rd person stuff already! Although currently based in the UK, I'm very possibly moving to Phoenix, Arizona in the very near future for a year or two. You can follow my progress, nonsense and occasional pearls of wisdom on www.twitter.com/tempestdevyne

Reviews:

"You stole the show in my opinion!! You swung as far away from stereotypical choices as is possible - so refreshing, so brave and so very effective. Your props and costumes and backing tracks were exceptional and testament again to all the research, planning and careful execution of your ideas. You had stage presence and in my view you either have it or you don't - you have it in abundance!! You charmed us and you made us laugh (a lot!). This was REAL burlesque"

Candee Handful, Performer & Promoter of Dr Sketchy's Birmingham

"I completely forgot it was your debut but in my defence you didn't really do anything to jog my memory because you were so bloody cool, calm and professional! You were an absolute star! It was the funniest thing I have seen in ages. I loved your russian dolls, your face as you peeped out in your various stages of undress was a picture"

Fey Tish, Performer & Promoter of Red Rocks Burlesque

"You totally shone from the moment you stepped onto the stage. Your props are amazing, your facial expressions were perfect, the acts left me speechless. I laughed so much in your russian doll act that my poppers on my costume popped!! You absoutely RULE!!!"

Delilah Dufoe, Performer

Modelling:

Check out my photo albums too for weird and wonderful pics. I construct my photoshoots to challenge ideas of the 'the norm' and society's dictates on what is 'beautiful'. EVERYONE can be beautiful if you can throw off narrow-minded views and learn to love yourself.

I was incredibly proud to be voted into the top 5 Miss 21CP 2008 Pin-Up Beginners competition after only a few months as a model. I shall continue building on everything I learnt and achieved in 2008. And having lots of fun with it!
