gone for so long!!

This year has been very crazy for me and the FPC! We started a monthly review at Maxine's live here in our beautiful little town of Hot Springs Arkansas in November of 2012 And we have our last show (of the regular monthly show) on December the 20th. So lets see... That puts me at a little more then two weeks to get my act(s) together. Thankfully we had the same show the same time last year, and i put a lot into my let it snow costume that i couldn't stand not using this opportunity to use it once again! So those of your who missed our Christmas show last year can be surprised and those who did come last year will be able to see the act a bit more perfected!! Also i am planning a simple cute little duo act with miss Ruby Lead. All those details will be kept a bit more secretive. :)

After the monthly show we are putting on a bake sale fundraiser for our van! It'll just be a cute little way to give everyone a little something from us personally!!

Then the new years eve will be in full swing With the Foul Play Cabaret and Moonshine Maphia at the Joint in North little rock!! we haven't performed in little rock in so long and i really hope the joint is as awesome of a venue as i hope! There needs to be more theater performance in Arkansas!! But off the subject, We Plan to bring the classiest things we can (or at least i am hahaha) to wow the socks of little rock once more!

Even with the Hectic year we have all had such a phenomenal time. We plan to get to tour some next year and show the rest of the states that there is Arkansas burlesque and not just us! over the year i have heard of a couple new troupes pop up! i'm so happy that there are more girls falling in love with burlesque! One day we might be able to have our own festival! oh talking about festivals!! The Spa City Sweethearts!!!! SCS!!!!!!!! oh how i love this show with all of my possible being. I wish i could say i remember the first time i stepped foot on the stage but sadly excitement, fear, and anxiety kept that memory from even forming haha! This year unlike last year, we hope to have some work shops and whatnot for the performers. I plan to make some sweet decorations if i can... i have a few ideas. My act is already in the planning and kinda in the making. i'm having my first costume made by the lovely Black Mariah! i'm actually too excited about that! With that being done i have way more time to work on my props (cause i'm dreaming BIG this year!) and on the new performers that i can comfort and help on their way to for me was a life changing experience. So many things!! i'm so excited for them!!! But with the good comes the bad. Sadly things in my life have hit a little rocky point. Not surprisingly its around the holidays also. But i'm planning to do a little something with me and my love (Vinny Vadge) for Christmas instead of my traditional friend/family meal. With the stress of the monthlies and all that has conspired in the last year, the family like relationship between a lot of my friends and me hasn't been the best. I figure the best thing to do is to let the holidays go by and all the sad gloomy weather goes away and see what the new year brings me. I hope for peace with my friends, i hope for a van so tour can happen, i hope for everything good for everyone who might read this. now off to bed!! i'll leave you with a new photo by ernie rice photography
