How she became interested in burlesque:
I have been a historian of burlesque for about 10 years now and have a large collection of epherma.  I've booked a few shows but am not really as active now although I do occasionally get called whenever some behind-the-times newspaper suddenly discovers the burlesque revival.

How she plans to participate in Etsy's Burlesque Beauties:
I like to collaborate especially with pin-up models and burlesque performers who are interested in featuring images on necklaces and/or bracelets that I make.

What she sells on Etsy:
Photo jewelry featuring pin-ups, burlesque stars and other art (only 1 burlesque bracelet currently listed... hoping to do more depending on demand) currently collaborating with java's bachelor pad on a series of bracelets featuring past cover girls. also do cast resin jewelry.

How she became interested in burlesque:
I have done burlesque/fetish modeling for a few years now, and have always loved costuming. Besides, I studied Art and French, so I was bound to come across it!

How she plans to participate in Etsy's Burlesque Beauties:
I will certainly promote it as much as I can, by mentioning it to friends and whenever I am online. I have a background in graphic design, so if any graphic work is needed, I can help.

What she sells on Etsy:
Currently, brad-jointed paper dolls. Coming soon, t shirts with illustrations and naughty sayings
