Slackitty Slack!

I have been totally slacking on this here blog business.  This weekend was a real barn burner.  I had two shows and that ALWAYS makes me less productive in the writing genre.

First, I was invited (last minute) to join the Sci-Fi Striptacular, which was produced by Viva La Muerte.  I got to revive the Princess Leia act and it was totally, totally fun.  It was at the Viaduct and I have to say, what a cute little theater.  It was, overall, a really fun night.  The act was a hit and I re-made parts of the costume, so that I can keep using the act over this year’s halloween.  NICE.

Next up, I got booked for a great Halloween show, as I already mentioned.  I’m working on some ideas for it, but it’s a horror movie theme and it’s a huge party at the Viaduct (speaking of).  The guy who’s running it is a Psychobilly DJ (the Cryptkeeper) and he needed three other gals (besides Scarlett) to do it.  I’m going to perform with Scarlett, Honey and Faustina.  Super awesome!  I’m glad to be involved in something that’s a little less “just burlesque” and a little more varied.  It’s going to be amazing and fun.  We’re meeting next weekend to talk music, because he has a huge collection of vintage monster songs to choose from.

Other news: met last night with a great lady set designer and…I think I am hiring her for the next big Girlie-Q production.  Super!  She’s also going to work on a (top secret) giant set piece for me for October Varietease show (which I am totally excited about) and she’s coming with me to sign the contract for the next show this week.  (Which reminds me, I need to call my venue.  Making notes for today).  Last week I held two meetings for this next show and it’s going to be…AMAZING.  Some of the top performers in Chicago are involved and it’s going to be the best thing I’ve ever put together.  (More soon!  I PROMISE…)

All right, that is all the news that is fit to type.  I will update tomorrow.  Tonight’s tasks:  Apply for a master class/artist residency at Columbia and start promo on the October classes.  They will be good, darlings!  (I had a meeting yesterday to shore up some details and we have some NEWS in store.  Again, stay tuned…)

Have lovely Tuesdays, bunnies.
