I WISH I COULD SAY THAT MY BEGINNING INTO BURLESQUE WAS LIKE A JUDY GARLAND SONG "I WAS BORN IN A TRUNK," BUT ONLY IN MY FANTASY IS THAT TRUE.
It was only by chance, that as an impoverished University of Oregon student I answered a help wanted ad for topless go go girls, no experience necessary in the early 1970's, and that was the beginning of a rollicking, exciting and lucrative career.
Some of the greatest names in burlesque came through that small town night club, and I stood in the wings and watched, and I listened, and oh the questions I asked!!
Perhaps they saw the stars in my eyes, or it was my sheer persistence to learn this magic art, but I had the amazing good fortune to be mentored throughout my almost 20yr, internationally acclaimed career by some of the greatest burlesque entertainers in the world.
