It is with a heavy heart but an incredibly optimistic spirit that I wanted to announce that after nearly five years of weekly blogging, Burlesque Seattle Press will be going on a little hiatus, as they say in the entertainment industry.
As a writer and lover of burlesque, the friends I’ve made and the many, many artists and photographers I’ve met over the years have influenced me in more ways than can be counted. I’m a better writer and a more keen observer of all types of arts because of it. (Not to mention that ever since I first became associated with burlesque-folk, my natural proclivities for flashy jewelry and makeup have been given full reign).
Burlesque Seattle Press has provided some incredible opportunities that I would not have had otherwise: multiple interviews with personal heroines such as Jo “Boobs” Weldon, paulanow (formerly Paula the Swedish Housewife), Lily Verlaine, Dixie Evans, Joan Arline, and Dita Von Teese among them. I can honestly say that in my freelance writing, burlesque stars have hands-down been the most creative and passionate artists I’ve profiled.
