Here’s a quick sneak peek into a full routine I’m posting for my higher tiers today. I’m so excited to be workshopping this costume and routine. It feels like Dirty Show Detroit is just around the corner now. I hope to see some of you there!

I’m missing home today but so happy to be with family in Iowa for a few more days.
Today I renew my license and have lunch with Mama Colby. She promised me she would get together some of her old modeling pics. I can’t wait to show you.💗💗💗

Spent some time filming this week! Here's a couple of shots of the shop I got while goofing around. I hate sitting still! I'm always wandering, so here are the fruits of my restless labor.

More fun pics from my Nashville trip with my baby girl, Memphis.
My favorite part was spending time with my mini me who is now taller than me.
Have you ever been to Nashville? What’s your favorite part?

My daughter Memphis and I got to spend time together in Nashville during spooky season and it was everything I could have ever asked for. We wrapped early on filming so we were able to have a nice dinner together with the crew! We walked the dark spooky streets and ate some Nashville grub.
It was so fun to spend the evening with the crew too!
We both were so excited to walk by Joh...

Behind the scenes photos from our most recent filming at the Antique Archaeology in Nashville. It was a fairly fast turn around this time so everything was running triple time.
I didn’t have the time to properly record my road dog diaries but I’ll do my best to sum it up.
Yes, we are still filming.
It was great to give Mike hugs and be with my crew again IRL. So much of ...

I feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel it!!! Your collective corporate mouths wrote checks your ass’ couldn’t cash. Now folks are done. I’m one of the lucky ones who chose to rage it with my friends instead of pledging loyalty to a corporation. It worked out for me. It’s been a hustle and a frustration on my worst days but a blessing and source of light and hope on my good days.
Remember, if you...

I have always had a love for the odd, off-beat, creepy, scary, macabre, whatever you want to call it. Growing up in a religious cult that doesn't allow for the exploration of the ungodly parts of life, I always felt like there was something inherently wrong with me.
My momma loves to tell the story from when I was a little girl, sitting in church and one of the speakers asked all the chi...

Sometimes I find that many of my favorite pieces are simple, inexpensive, cute little pieces I’ve picked up on the road. This vintage Hawaiian house dress I purchased in Clinton Iowa of all places. There are a multitude of incredible vintage shops in Clinton Iowa. I don’t even know where to begin because I would feel bad if I left anybody out considering I grew up there. If you decide to go...

I don’t often post pics of my son because he really did not like fame when he was younger.
Miles always loved privacy and calm peaceful moments so fame was not an option for him, not ever something that interested him so I respected his request as a young man to not be in the limelight but now that he is older he isn’t bothered by that anymore. He just does his thing and lives his li...

Halloween is almost here! Here’s a little Halloween tale for you. This was not long after I moved to Chicago. The house I lived in at this time was something else to say the absolute least! Halloween morning, my niece Alaina and I were taking a walk through Palmer Square on our way to get a coffee, trying to get our steps in, being very Golden Girls. We ended up talking about the dreams we ea...

This might be one of the most documented evolutions of any of my costumes, but it is certainly not the only one that has gone through this much change.
There are so many options to add to a costume to personalize it. I’m constantly finding new things to pin, sew, sequin, bedazzle, hem, repair. It takes SO much time and energy to get a costume to its completed state for stage but it’s...

Hello everyone! Here’s the link to the interview I did with the Salior Jerry Podcast with Matt Caughthran of The Bronx. I posted this on social media too, but here is a more streamlined post with all of the links in one place. Check it out! There’s also a YouTube video version too featuring my cheetah costume! 🐆 ♥️

As promised, the full version of this number. I've never danced in this costume before. I'm basically workshopping the costume, trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. I'm feeling out the costume and props. This is what the very beginning of the process looks lik...

My aunt Tina was a teenager when I was little so she was always the coolest! She would take me to her babysetting gigs and share her handbags with me. She is strong an...

I don’t get to travel to San Juan often, but when I do it’s always magical. There’s something so comforting about being in such a historic place. It’s like you can feel the spirits passing through the streets. I get the same feeling when I’m in New Orleans, too. With Samhain just around the corner, for those that believe in and practice magic in that way, it’s signifies the time whe...

Embroidery gets so taken for granted. It’s one of those things I think many people don’t consciously think about. Anymore it’s usually done on a machine and takes no time at all. But prior to the 1950s, while embroidery machines did exist, a majority of embroidery was done by hand. Here’s a little article about the history of the embroidery machine.
Do I feel like a super shero in this cape? Yes. What would my super shero name be? Is there a formula for finding a super hero name?

I figured since Halloween is nearly upon us I would go back through give you some of my best Halloween adjacent costumes. It’s so funny to think about all of the costuming I own and how so much of it doesn’t really qualify as “Halloween costume”. What is that? What are the rules about Halloween costumes? Do you have to be dressed up as something or someone else for it to count?? Someone...

Yesterday I had an interview with the Sailor Jerry Podcast.
“The Bronx” singer, Matt conducted the interview. We have something in common. We’ve both performed Riot Fest Chicago🎉.
I have to say, each time The Bronx performed Riot Fest, they’ve slayed! The video is incredible, you should watch it.

My momma, Susie. I’m not sure of her age in this picture but I think she said she was still a teenager. My Momma and Poppa got together when she was just 14. My dad was also a teenager. They fell deeply, madly in love and had many adventures before they settled down and had babies.
My Momma grew up in Davenport Iowa with her Mother Rosie and Step dad Dick. Young Susie always had a wild...
