• I know my comfort zone and I know what my strong points are and my first love was always music. I'm a huge cinema fan.

I have a collection of burlesque books at home that I've had for years. I've always been intrigued and fascinated with the topic, the beauty and the art of it and the comedic value of it. I think it's just a beautiful, empowering thing for women.
