New York School of Burlesque

Sending fierce love to all at this weekend! I’m so excited to see the posts in my feed about what everyone is doing there. I hope your experiences exceed your wildest dreams. The entire weekender is Dixie Evans’s legacy. And now YOU are making history!

Here I am having a blast at the Plaza in 2010 (?). Photo by Bob Debris, who I first met back at the Exotic World ranch in Helendale. Be sure to get a photo with him if you’re there!

Most special love to Viva La Fever Adele DeCampli- Cirkelis — you are in my heart, and I’m so proud to see the honor you’re receiving this weekend.

If I have time, I’ll post more images from my history with BHOF tomorrow!
