It is indeed! I’ve moved… 12 times in my life. When it’s my own choice, I usually find it very exciting, and not at all stressful. This time, though… oof! It was a doozy.

Memories of a time and space where I could focus.

Everything is insane and my physical world is also upside down because I’m getting ready to move… but here’s something pretty that I forgot to post back when I made it last year.

A snap of my studio wall - featuring a poster from “Of Corsets and Striptease”, the one and only show I ever produced. This was back in 2009. Coco Framboise graces the image, in head to toe Peacock by Manuge et Toi.

(Also, I fully intend to reuse that show name for my future corset making book! 😉)

I looooove creating cup shapes that don’t otherwise exist. I call them FRANKENCUPS. If you watch my new episode of Tips on Tap, you’ll know why! And how.

This has happened to me before. I got back in eventually… but it was a nightmare trying to get through. It should be so simple, but it’s not. I’m convinced it’s done randomly on purpose to remind people they are reliant on IG.

This past June, I had the extreme pleasure of visiting the Burlesque Hall of Fame Museum in Las Vegas. I witnessed an exhibit featuring MYSELF and my work! ☺️ What an incredible honor to be a part of this wonderful exhibit, “Built to Bare: The Art of Engineering Clothes Designed to Come Off”
