2020 Legend

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.⠀

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!

Once upon a time, a small Ontario farm girl needed a job to help pay for university...so she answered an ad, "Topless Go-Go Girls, no experience necessary" and a stripper was born!⠀
⠀
For 17 years she traveled around the world, Alaska to New Zealand, Guam to Halifax, crisscrossing USA and Canada, performing and honing her craft, learning her trade everywhere from high-class nightclubs to small-town beer parlours and Honky Tonks as a working stripper. ⠀
