During the first BGB All Stars Show, we took some time to chat about burlesque.

Also, I recently shared some of my thoughts with Corset Magazine (The Go To Magazine for All Things Sexuality) too.
ESSENCE REVEALED - Essence Revealed is first generation Bajan born & raised in Boston. She got her BFA at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and MA at NYU’s Steinhardt School of Education. Her writing has appeared places such as $pread Magazine, Corset Magazine, BurlesqueBible.com and 21st Century Burlesque. She’s been published in two anthologies: Pros(e) & Johns, Marks, Tricks & Chicken Hawks. She now performs & teaches nationally and internationally both solo and as a member of Brown Girls Burlesque. Her favorite thing to do besides reading is to lay on the beach in Barbados to rest up for a night of calypso dancing. Help Essence get to the Milan Burlesque Awards!
I decided to apply to the Milan Burlesque Festival. I did it mainly because I’ve always wanted to go to Milan. I really didn’t think I’d get in, so it never dawned on me to think about HOW I’d get there. So, when I got the e-mail that I got in I did a little happy dance then thought, “Oh well, too bad, I have to decline.” I told a few close friends & supporters and they all said, “You have to go. Do a crowd funding campaign!” My brain got busy telling me how I couldn’t do that because it wasn’t for a charitable cause or a life changing invention or a huge production, etc. I am doing this despite those voices. I DESPISE asking for help. Yes, I know there has to be give and take flow in life but, but… I’m a multi-tasking Taurus who will burn the midnight oil if I have to because I know, I’ll get it done. Enter fears here. Enter trust issues here. Enter control freakishness here. Yeah, I know I have baggage and can label many of them quite clearly. They are not designer!
Yet, here I am with 36 days left in a 45 day Indiegogo.com fundraising campaign.
I am asking if you can give and/or share the link and help me spread the word? It would be so appreciated.
This video is especially for my New Yorkers

Please & Thank You

Hope all my East Coast folks are staying hunkered down and safe during Hurricane Sandy!
Here’s some distraction…
Burlesque Beat has released an article with pics and thoughts about the Thursday night Teaser Show of the New York Burlesque Festival that I performed in. There are also great pics with the commentary
My “bizarre full body cape” & costume was made by the Design Space Concept crew Marea Judilla & Edith Raw.
