Corsets and Pretty Pretty Emails

Shooting for the IFC project yesterday as Bettie Page was probably one of the best days of work in my entire life. I can't release photos until the project is released - which you will be able to see in January. But I might be able to show you some pictures of me, the fabulous Miss Aggie and one of my burlesque idols, Jo Boobs raising hell on the set and playing some serious dress-up.

Corsets.

Vintage Nylons.

Satin Opera Gloves.

Oh my.

Then when I got home, I found this beautiful picture in my inbox with a note ~

Dear Veronica of Danger Dame,

Your Lucy in Wonderland dress kicked total & complete ass. You sent it parcel post to me, lovingly wrapped in ribbons & pink tissue paper, and even included a handwritten note of thanks.

I wore your dress last night. I was trying for fatale.

I looked awesome.

Thank you thank you thank you.

This and That

Here is a little sneak peek of things to come on Danger Dame....like these sexy garter Bettie Page style panties. Now that's what I call dangerous. I did this photoshoot into the wee hours of yesterday morning with my sexy and talented as hell husband, Burke Heffner. I can't wait to show you the rest of the photos....

In other news - I just got hired for a very good amount of money to dress up like Bettie Page for an opening clip being shot for the Independent Film Channel on Monday.

I love this friggin city.

Part two of the thirteen point plan for world domination has begun. Mass media infiltration.

And it's after midnight - so I can say it - Happy Birthday, Darling Girl. I think of you often.

"Into the sea, you and me..."

Good Night and Good Luck

This weekend was full of top hats and pistols, of flash bulbs and long stemmed cigarette holders, of pumpkin carving and of mini-road trip adventures, of late night stories and sipping white berry tea at 2am and then winding up in a gutter of a diner scheming plans, of saying farewell to a beautiful bride named Cha Cha decked out in leopard and saying farewell to CBGBs, and of shimmying to the old jazz horns of Harlem Nocturne for my first burlesque performance in NYC in three months.

A weekend of trading glitter and false eyelash tips all ten of us girls twisting towards the smoky mirrors backstage applying lipstick, of re-creations of a 1940s horror poster for a still photo for inspiration for an artist, friend and birthday boy named Max, of delicious homemade apple pie and fresh apple cider, of the crisp Fall air and vintage 50s leopard underthings. Of delicious inked contracts with stars by the signatures for hopes and dreams to come true, of giddyness and of handmade halloween mummies with hearts on keychains given to a beautiful girl with pink hair. Of late talks with a muse who wears dice on her wrists and is unafraid to be true to herself. Of love, love with goosebumps and love of being alive, being witness to all these beautiful things and the wonderful people that fill my life with such happiness and inspiration and wonder. Of faraway friends that can make my day with an email or a message on my phone, of friends that I can hold onto so tightly it's as if we are the same being. Of a boy with spiked hair and a ruby ring that matches mine. And our stories weave together. All of us. Thankful. I adore.

This weekend my eyes were wide open. This weekend I lived with abandon and beauty.

I wrap my arms around this city and swoon.

nightnight.

Burlesque and Varla

So, I've been elusive as hell. Yes. I have.

There's so much to say. So many people to thank who have called and supported me and kidnapped me and made me feel much better. You know who you are. My love forever.

I am now dragging my ass out of the apartment and to the Slipper Room - promptly. Because well, nothing cheers a girl up like burlesque!

Come up and see me sometime - like this Friday the 13th! I will performing one night only with the fabulous Paperback Burlesque with your host, the gorgeous Jo Boobs.

8:00pm at the famous and glamour-filled Slipper Room, 167 Orchard Street, New York - only 5 bucks! I will be doing my favorite act and there are nine, count em', NINE - beautiful burlesque chickadees that I will be performing with. It doesn't get better.

And also, if you can't see me in NYC, you can see me in this month's Varla Magazine in a four page color photo spread done by the saucy Miss Viva Van Story. So pick up a copy and support us broads, would ya?

It's good to be back.
