2022 Legend
Since then she has headlined across Canada, USA, Finland, and New Zealand, performing, teaching, and mentoring as she travels and proudly representing Canadian Burlesque as The Grand Beaver of Canadian Burlesque!
In 1972 this Ontario farm girl wandered into an Oregon stripper bar & the rest is history. From Alaska to New Zealand, Halifax to Micronesia while crisscrossing the US and Canada for 17 years until hanging up her g-string in the small mountain town of Nelson with the comment "Well that was interesting!” But as they say, “no rest for the wicked" - and so by chance, Judith was rediscovered by the BC Burlesque Community, performing her first festival at VIBF 12 years ago.
But as life in the fast lane, everyone has a time to retire and so she did --Hanging up her G-string to pursue a small-town life, love of skiing and sewing.⠀ ⠀ But a chance meeting at The Burlesque Hall of Fame found herself acclaimed a Legend of Burlesque and once again found herself in a myriad of feathers and rhinestones at her very first Burlesque Festival VIBF in 2008 as The Canadian Legend of Burlesque.⠀
