Q: Know this has been asked many times but how did you end up a burlesque dancer?
A: It's okay! Yea, people ask me that all the time, because it was by total accident and not planned at all. I mean, I have always been a dancer but mostly in ballet and modern dance so becoming a burlesque dancer was far from my mind at that point. But, I do have many friends who are also dancers and burlesque performers so I would go watch them perform and just fell in love with it. Probably when I went to see my friends perform it was the first I ever had seen a burlesque show live other than in films but just fell in love how each person has their own take on things. So, was convinced to give it a try and honestly very glad that I did, the experience has been amazing thus far.
Q: What kind of style of a burlesque dancer are you?
A: It's really difficult for me to say; I think honestly I am in between modern and classical. But at the same time I don't define myself into just one category either. There are days where I may feel more neo burlesque then other times more classical and even days when I just want to dance hip hop all depends on my mood and what concept I am trying to convey in my routines.
Q: How do you pick out songs/choreograph routines?
A: I don't have a set theme, generally when I pick out a song it typically is something that has happened in my life I like choosing songs in which are personal to me to because I have to let my guard down the audience and be real and show raw emotion...it's hard for me to open up to people so it gives me a challenge.
Q: What about revealing and no nudity?
A: I am not big on it for myself and it doesn't mean I think I am better than anyone else because that is far from it; it was just a personal decision I made not to be big on nudity. I have been modeling since I was 14 and don't do nudes and it's just a choice. Everyone is different and for me it isn't about not having confidence in myself or my body I just like the idea of having a boyfriend or getting married one day having him say, "I get to see it and you all don't" yea I'm not normal.
Q: What was it like telling your family?
A: I was actually nervous because my family is very conservative. My Godfather is also a priest so was really terrified but much to my surprise they trust my judgment and realise too it's also my life and I am an adult now, I think it is cool that they have that confidence in me.
Q: Do you have a boyfriend?
A: I get asked that a lot! To answer the question it is complicated I think. Yea, there is someone I have loads of feelings for but there is a lot going on in his life too so I am kind of in that well does he notice aspect, etc. In my heart I think so but like I said just so much going on right now. I don't like to publicly talk about my personal life so much, yet I am open and available if he wanted to pursue me...I'm here. If not, going to be honest yea it would hurt but at the same time people make choices I'm still gonna be there for him not saying it would be isn't because it wouldn't be and guess that is how relationships change as we get slightly older and mature some.
Q: Who is your celebrity crush?
A: The person mentioned in above question :) Yea, I do I care about him loads. I also feel whatever is meant to happen will so if it just so happened our paths crossed and everything I'm totally open to it and of course if he was too.
Q: Who are your best friends?
A: Sabrena, Bettie Noir, and Dany. I don't have loads of close friends because honestly it is hard for me to trust people. There are only a few that I can actually dial up and chat with on the phone I also have my second family who I love to pieces but other than that no don't have loads of friends actually.
Q: What is your favorite color?
A: I honestly don't have one! I do like to wear red and black a lot and sometimes purple.
Q: Favorite number?
A: 13 because it represents completeness [wholeness]
Q: How many tattoos do you have?
A: 9 I think? I started losing count haha. They all mean something to me though.
Q: What is your biggest pet peeve on social media?
A: Poser accounts. It's like just be yourself why pretend to be other people? I just don't get it.
Q: Do you have a personal twitter account?
A: I do, but that is mostly for people I would talk to in real life type of thing just want to keep that small.
Q: About the Scarlet Walk Journals? Favorite song/poem you've written?
A: Reckless and Romeo + Juliet because they are personal about something I've actually experienced and know/affects me.
