I will be the answer
At the end of the line
I will be there for you
While you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance
If you can't look down
If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright
Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a
Place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight
If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
'Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all burned out
You'll still be burning so bright
Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind

Q & A session from late night entertainment
the other night had a Q & A session with pagers and answered some questions and even took some requests for future routines!! Yes, definitely in the works guys!!!
Q: How did you end up being a burlesque performer?
A: A long story!! I began dancing at the age of six but I have a few friends who are burlesque performers and would always go watch them perform and they had been trying to convince me to get into it...and finally told myself "let's just go for it" only live once. Plus, I've always been fascinated with anything related to pin up and 1950/1960s fashion so it helps me with my passion for it.
Q: Why are you anti nude?
A: It isn't I'm anti nude it just isn't something that me personally would want to do. I just made that decision beforehand that being nude was something I wanted to do; it isn't because think I am being snobby by any means don't want anyone to think that think it is more so if I am with a guy he can say, " I get to see her, you all can't" type of thing. Besides burlesque dancing isn't always about hey...look at my boobs you know? If watch older performances it is truly an art form sometimes people miss that and just think oh when is everyone going to get naked? I want people to see the art, the beauty the concepts behind routines. I'm very comfortable with my body and being naked but it is the idea of teasing which is what burlesque is.
Q: Will you ever do a nurse routine?
A: Since pagers have been requesting this a lot....probably eventually!
Q: Do you really know that many foreign languages?
A: Yes, I do. I grew up speaking French and knowing Russian. I learned Spanish and German in school Serbian I am able to read because my Godfather is from Serbia but he also speaks French so many times I communicate with him in French.
Q: Is it true the song you wrote romeo + juliet is about Justin Bieber?
A: it is.
Q: Would you go out with me? [someone asked this]
A: never know!
Q: Are you single? [get asked this one a lot too]
A: it's complicated
Q: Do you have a boyfriend?
A: There is someone I have feelings for boyfriend potential definitely if he wants it.
Q: When is your next show?
A: This upcoming Saturday [ April 6]
Q: How do you pick music for routines?
A: Normally I pick songs which are personal to me or it is a song I can relate to.
Q: Do you really skateboard?
A: Yes, I do :]
Q: How does it feel to be considered a "sex object" or a person who is desirable?
A: Whenever I set goals for myself never once looked at myself that way. People mostly have known me first as a pin up model and even then that thought never really crossed my mind. Do I think I am a sex object or sexy? I think sexy yes, but that is because we have our own concept of what being sexy is. I think any person is sexy who is comfortable being him or herself society tries to dictate too much what we or how we should view what is beautiful or what is being sexy. For me being sexy is jeans, heels and some lipstick for another person it could be something totally different. It's about perspective.

behind the choreography and concept of yellow raincoat
one of my newer routines is to the song "Yellow Raincoat". I love this song because it is something I can relate to especially I tend to put out that I am happy yet guarded at the same time. Well the choreography and concept of the routine reflects the lyrics and song as well my idea of that. In the beginning of the routine it is basically me "taking off" all of the things that we see on the outside: fame, etc etc. and by the end of the routine the rain boots symbolise protection from walking in the rain and of course the yellow raincoat itself. So for the most part that is the concept of the routine and really don't know how else to describe but people had been asking what the meaning of the choreography and costuming was about...so now you all know!
much love,
Nat

Q & As
so since was able to get some questions during downtime while finishing up my rounds here are some ones I've chosen to blog and answer, keep them coming always keep me entertained :-]
Q: What age did you start dancing?
A: I started dancing at the age of 6 mainly ballet then when I was older I took up modern and I love both! Now I am a professional burlesque dancer wouldn't change it for the world!!
Q: Do you get offended when you say, "burlesque performer" and people say "stripper"?
A: No, actually. I mean people will call it whatever they want regardless how a person will explain it. Burlesque isn't always about taking clothes off and a lot of people fail to see what a beautiful art form it is; it's more than that and yes there are some elements of taking clothes off [stripping came from burlesque dancing] but hey people say what they want...does it offend me? Not at all, I love what I do and know how I perform and what goes on and the pagers know that is all that counts for me.
Q: If you could sleep with any celebrity who would it be?
A: uuuummmmm well awkward question LOL [those super close to me know this answer]
Q: What do you notice first on a guy?
A: his eyes. I love a guy with amazing eyes...and nice lips!!
Q: What would your ideal first date be like?
A: pizza, video games...bowling maybe even though I suck at it!! anything where we could just be normal and have fun.
Q: Why don't you like the media?
A: isn't that I don't like the media, I just don't have much respect for them and that is because how they report things. I mean everything always manages to come out screwed up or twisted or not even remotely to the truth, but I learned that comes with the territory and it comes along with certain people so I don't let it bother me anymore I really don't, people will say whatever so just be happy and live life best can.
Q: Are you single or dating anyone?
A: it's complicated/I plead the fifth. I will say there is someone important to me and leaving it at that.
Q: Rumors are that you are heading back to LA?
A: maybe....:-)
Q: Who is the "Dream King"?
A: well most of the references are inside jokes created around Tori Amos lyrics it's something my close friends and I do a lot and Dream King is in reference to one of my big brother's band mates when and if I ever perform a Tori Amos it's why my best mates burst out in hysterics whenever I sing that.
Q: Is it annoying when people compare you to Angelina Jolie or Dita von Teese?
A: Not at all. I think Angelina is amazing, talented, gorgeous and has a big heart. I can relate to her story quite a bit actually; so it doesn't bother me one bit, besides she gets to go home to Brad Pitt but for me exchange Brad for Justin Bieber I would be a very happy lady. As far Dita comparisons I don't think I've been a burlesque dancer for that long but if people are comparing me already I am so thankful and honoured, she's so talented.
Q: Favorite quote?
A: One of them, "quod me nutruit me detruit" whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger....
Q: Do you think you're reckless?
A: I'm not a rebel without a cause if that is what you mean
Q: Do you mind if beliebers follow you on twitter?
A: NO! I LOVE them!! I honestly have the utmost respect and love for beliebers and yes will defend them to the moon and back and same applies to my pagers...don't mess with my pagers!!
Q: Who thought of pagers?
A: Originally it was pageans and thought that was a little weird and saying "pagan" so no haha so we went with pagers instead.
Q: What about family, dating and performing?
A: If I eventually become a Mum I would definitely focus more of my time on that same as a relationship because I am the type of girlfriend who would want to support her king I mean really...but hey just me! I don't see myself performing forever when the time is right we'll know....
Q: What age did you start dancing?
A: I started dancing at the age of 6 mainly ballet then when I was older I took up modern and I love both! Now I am a professional burlesque dancer wouldn't change it for the world!!

I really don't....
know what to blog!! I feel as if haven't blogged about anything in ages and no I haven't been in "hiding" or anything like that just been working hard on routines and having a hectic schedule regarding shows and photo shoots. Since my formspring account will no longer be active really don't know about the Q & As...unless tweet me more questions and will answer honestly as possibly can!!
Last week's show was a success. I am so thankful for pagers for coming out and also a special shout out to our troops for showing love last weekend! I have so much respect and gratitude for our troops for helping to keep us safe and free...hoping to do something special over the summer...keep an eye out!!
traveling...I will begin traveling again in June/July so expect me all over the place! Also there are some magazines who been asked to work with quite a while ago so going to finally give it a try.
music...I have no intentions of recording...as mentioned before songwriting and writing in general is my own way of keeping a diary...I really have no wishes to record them but will however may do some benefit shows in a few months but that is the extent of me and actually performing music wise.
"normal" life stuff: most have been aware I have been pondering between pursuing performing with my troupe full time and honestly...still do not know as of yet. I love nursing and so thankful for all the lessons I learned thus far but perhaps later this year I will consider it even more [but I am leaning more towards that way however performing that is].
tattoos...yes I am planning a couple more tattoos! one in Polish and the other is to finish up the one on my left shoulder....[because people have been asking haha!]
personal life....no comments. I mean I see the comments people asking about my personal life and for right now at least not discussing it.....
that is pretty much all the updates....keep chasing dreams, break the rules [safely, hehe] and follow your heart....
much love
Nat
