Current timeline update:
Birthday - 1 day ago
Show Me Burlesque and Vaudeville Festival - 7 days away
Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender - 21 days away
OK... not much time to work with here, but I am feeling more optimistic today than I have in the recent weeks. I'm not sure if it is a post birthday glow, but things are looking more manageable again. But before I get into that, I want to take a moment and thank each and every person who wished me a happy birthday. With hundreds of Facebook post, multiple calls,
emails, text, and IRL moments, I have to say that this was one of the
best birthdays I have ever experienced. I got to spend the morning with
the love of my life, Alex, opening gifts of vintage wonder, followed by an afternoon of pampering myself. Then I got to perform with my Wasabassco family, in one of my favorite shows, to my new favorite act. If that was not enough, I got to have an encore performance at The Slipper Room, performing along side some of New York's best burlesque artist, including the incomparable Julie Atlas Muz.
And to top it all off, I got to partake in, what could only be
explained as the most fun moment in my entire life, the naked pie fight.
Sharing my birthday with the stunningly beautiful Harvest Moon was the icing on the cake.
I got to see all of my closest New York friends, honored that they came
out to celebrate me, see me perform, and tip me their hard earned
dollars. It was really the most wonderful day. Finally winding down in
the wee hours of the morning, after hours of snacking and laughing with
my bestie, Dolly Debutante,
and my fiancee, I could only feel like the luckiest woman in the world,
to have spent the day surrounded by so much love. Thank you everyone!
Today has been extremely productive. I spent the morning cleaning with the help of Dolly, followed by getting the rest of my household chores done. I even managed to order groceries today. I took some time to do some good for my body by doing the Daily Burn Total Body release video, twice. My body is still all jacked up and in pain, but at least it is feeling more range in mobility. I got a lot of computer stuff done, including making significant updates to the wedding website, and even started researching a band! I plan to spend the rest of the night relaxing, recovering from yesterday, hopefully doing some research on this performer I have to interview, (this is causing a lot of anxiety for me) and going for a walk with my two loves, Alex and Homer.
Tomorrow will be a busy day, as I am pulling another double header, for like the 3rd time in a week. But it should be a good time. I broke my fans last night because I was whipping them around as if they were indestructible, but since I do have to use these fans in the very near future, including at BHOF, I think I will spend a part of the morning repairing those.
Alright, I'm about to get out of here. I am currently pumpkining, as my brain and body are in need of a shut down. I am not really in the mood to post photos from last night, so instead, here is a link to my tumblr. There you will find pics and clips from my night, including the naked pie fight. Enjoy!!
