Loxie’s Highlights of BurlyCon 2014

Posted by Marisa on
  1. Performing in the first night of Peer Reviews and getting some great feedback and compliments from folks I deeply admire and respect.
  2. Getting waltzed around the hallway by Bic Carroll after the second Peer Review. Then when I thought he was reading my Rose City School of Burlesque t-shirt, he said “Oh, I was actually reading your tits.” 😀
  3. Princess Farhana outing me as the creator of the Radio Bastet podcast during her class exploring the relationship between belly dance and burlesque. Later on she took my hand and guided me through some steps (it’s been a helluva long time since I did belly dance).
  4. Having Bettie Blackheart for a roommate. ❤
  5. Enjoying some late-night red wine and snacks with Bettie, Kitten deVille and Bettina May. Like you do.
  6. Getting a big hug from Briq House when she told me I saved her life with my idea of keeping all your accoutrements for an act in one of those giant Zip-Loc bags.
  7. Getting another big hug from Donna Denise, who appreciated all my words of encouragement in the past.
  8. Going green for the Lust in Space ball.
  9. Waxie Moon and Foxy Tann both saying my name out loud in front of huge crowds of people. (bucket list achievement unlocked)

Cannot wait for next year!

Take me to your leader, big boy.

Hey! Bellboy!

This is the tune I used for my very first routine! It happened during our Rose City School of Burlesque graduation recital last year. It was the very first time I had ever performed burlesque, much less taken off my clothes, in public. (There’s a video, but please don’t ask to see it!)

For me, music is the very core of my performances. Ninety-nine-point-nine percent of the time, the music is what inspires the routine. Gloria Wood has been very good to me throughout my short career! I also used her tune “Oh Honey!” in my Shoe Lust routine. Anyway, enjoy this little ditty and seek out more Gloria Wood if you’re not familiar with her. She is, as the kids say, The Bomb Dot Com.
