I am a burlesque performer AMA

Does physical performance affect your diet? Are you slow-release carb packing like an enduro cyclist or keeping it going with caffeine and a prayer?
- Haha, a bit of both honestly. I’m a little older now and that has become a little bit of the appeal for me I’m told. So my numbers are less acrobatic and energetic these days than they used to be. So burning fewer calories I guess. But I still try to keep a somewhat healthy diet and semi-consistent workout schedule. Looking good is still a part of the job

Do you instinctively shudder and roll your eyes when you hear “Fever” start playing?
- No, haha. Peggy is a hero!!

Have you ever heard of/seen the starwars Burlesque?
- I’ve heard of it of course. Sounds amazing. I’ve done sci-fi/space themed shows before but specifically Star Wars would be a lot of fun

Thanks for doing this AMA! What got you into this line of work?

- Very similar actually!! In burlesque there is just also a fair amount of focus given to risqué or suggestive performance styles as well. For example, many of the dances I perform often feature me in little more than a thong and some pasties. And our comedy is often scripted to be very lewd and obscene. So the audience gets to hoot and holler, all the while we’re making them laugh. It’s immensely fun to perform in and see performed!
