Oct 4th, 2011Comments Off

Making her mark on the burlesque scene with her classic striptease and pinup looks, Ginger Valentine brings sexy back with a vengeance. Recently, winning the crown, Queen of Burlesque, at the New Orleans Burlesque Festival, this vivacious mover-shaker is not slowing down. I sat down with Ms. Valentine recently at the Belmont Hotel with photographer Jarrod Fresquez to learn more about this sultry bombshell

Fearless comes to mind when I reflect on an recent hot, summer day spent with Ashley Compton in a large warehouse with photographer Jarrod Fresquez and make up artist, Courtney Crush. The photo shoot captured Compton’s aerial ability, illustrating her strength frame by frame

Growing up After 40 :: The Real Girls Guide

Lately, I have to wonder if we ever grow up. More importantly, if I will ever grow. Recently, I posted on my Facebook, “Dear internets, I need a mommy to look after my inner child. She has kind of made a mess of my life”. The truth of that statement loudly ringing reality. I have these growing pains that start in my heart and end in my limbs collapsing to the ground in a give up

The first time I saw Tara Harper, I thought she was a super model hired for Joey Seeman’s Rock n’ Roll art show. I had no idea she was there to represent her animal rescue charity, Paws in the City. Harper, co-founder of Paws in the City, began her passion for rescuing animals at the age of 3. This passion has helped grow one of the largest animal rescue charities in North Texas. Harper is not only one of the most beautiful woman I have seen in person, she is strong, intelligent, and has an incredible passion and drive for animals

Give me that dirty southern rock n roll only this time, make it edgy and sexy and clean. This is how I found True Widow and their bassist Nikki Estill. The trio, which has called their sound “Stonegaze”, lives up to the epic title of their most recently released album, “As High As the Highest Heavens and From the Center to the Circumference of the Earth”. This album features Nikki’s sultry voice on several of the songs along with singing in harmony with the bands lead Dan Phillips

Hot burlesque at a lesbian bar? Why haven’t they thought of this sooner? Friday night I checked out Sexy-Mic Comedy & Burlesque to see Courtney Crave in action. Her smokin’ hot number to Def Leopard’s, ‘Pour Some Sugar on Me’, had the women up on their feet begging for more. It mixed good old fashioned stripper sensibility with bombshell burlesque attraction. So hot sticky sweet.
