Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend

I attended Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend this year and had the most rewarding and exciting experience. MEW is the super bowl of burlesque and is an experience of a lifetime for any burlesquer. I especially enjoyed the Titans of Tease show which featured Legends of Burlesque. I was almost in tears the whole show. Its so inspiring to all the legends get on stage and shake it like no other when some had not performed in 20 or 30 years!! You can never forget your history and the living legends or burlesque are the burlesque communities greatest assets.

We also went on a pin-up safari photoshoot on a double-decker bus around Vegas hosted by Java of Java's Bachlor Pad, Chris Beyond, and Dale Rio. We had a really fun time and I was excited that we got to go to old vegas :)

The Miss Exotic World Pagent was truly amazing and I kow the judges had a really hard time making a decision because I loved everyone!
