Westward Ho!

Dear Constant Reader,

This Friday I’m off on my first trip to the Southwest. I am beyond excited to be performing in Holly Rebelle’s A Night of Classic Burlesque in New Mexico! It’s a great line-up and I get to perform one of my favorite acts. I’m looking forward to meeting all my fellow performers.

I’m equally excited to be seeing so many friends while I’m there. Even an otherwise tedious layover in Phoenix has become an opportunity to see a dear friend. This is one of the women who made me the costumer I am today and it’s been longer than I care to admit since we were in the same place.

The next couple of days will be spent fretting over packing. What clothing will I bring to deal with daily 30 degree temperature fluctuations? Should I pack my fans securely in my huge suitcase and worry about luggage going astray or try to jam them in a carry-on and worry about getting them through security? How few pairs of shoes can I get away with?

Expect to see pictures via Instagram of my adventures.
