Tub Tales 06.27.21

Last Tub Tales in this apartment! So excited to move, so ready to be done with all of it. I also spill a little dirt. :)

Full Reveal: My First Nude Beach

This has taken a LONG time to put together. We shot footage back in '04, before mole removal and before my voice deepened. It was shot on Digital8, and processing the footage took a backseat over the years. Mr. Snapper was working on editing it a couple summers ago when his laptop was stolen out of his hands at a Starbucks. But here we are now.

This is your treat this month. Late next month, I'll share with other patrons. In August, it'll be available for general public viewing. And now...

Are we there yet?

Lipstick on my teeth from my last gig where I played the kazoo. What a crazy life!

I'm two days from the due date of the appraisal on what I hope will be my house. If all goes well, I'll be a homeowner on June 30th. This is bananas!

I don't have any gigs booked for the rest of the summer so we can move. The house is in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas.

We were going to turn a giant bedroom into my studio, but we decided to use the living room for the studio space. Better floorin...

Full Reveal - Shower Thoughts

We've hit a delay in this month's release, which is my nude beach documentary. That means you get this taste of reality. A peek behind the curtain, if you will. ;)

A little treat for you

We may have a house! We've been seeing places all over town. Our offer was accepted for a nice place in Oak Cliff that has the perfect room for a studio. The bathtub isn't sexy, but it is new. This afternoon we meet the home inspector and spend three glorious hours measuring and exploring the space while they do actual work.

The hunt for a home with exactly what we need has been bananas. Thanks for your patience this month. 2021-05-29 16:29:13 +0000 UTC View Post

Finding the needle in a haystack time

This month has been bonkers. We're actively on the hunt for our own home, and the housing market is bananas. Most places are going above list price, and a number of homes don't have what we need.

I don't mind renting studio space, but I'd rather have a shooting space permanently set up in my own home. It makes everything much easier, especially on heavy shoot days. I need a good tub for Tub Tales. In truth, I'd love a tub like we had for shooting in a hotel last month.

Tub Tales 04.29.21

We shot something a couple weeks ago that Mr. Snapper will edit next month, and we got to enjoy a giant tub as part of the shoot. I have to say I look pretty cute. (Not everyone likes seeing themselves on video. I'm an exception. I like to see myself on video.)

Full Reveal - Surprise Greedo

I had another project in mind to share with you this month, but Star Wars has overtaken my plans. Enjoy the nonsense.

Tub Tales 04.26.21

Life is pretty odd. Also, I'm tired. And, I'm grateful to have a new act as a distraction.

Behind the Scenes: Surprise Mandalorian

Remember how I said I don't have last-minute bookings so much these days? Well, that's not entirely accurate. I put my Greedo costume in storage at the beginning of the month since I'd heard nothing about a Star Wars show this year and didn't see a casting call. (It's still pandemic times with limited people backstage, and I wasn't mad about it at all.)

I got a call two weeks ago to fill in on the Star Wars show. I had to break out Greedo and create a new Mandalorian act, if at all poss...

Slowly getting back to normal

I'm fully vaccinated. Mr. Snapper gets his second vaccine next Sunday. We're planning our first photo shoot outside of quarantine for later this month, and we may try to squeeze one in when we travel next month.

As we emerge from the pandemic cocoon, we're also preparing for a late summer home purchase. This means packing up costumes and props we won't use before the move. I'm really hop...

Tub Tales 03.27.21

I'm going to start archiving some stuff prior to 2019, and I only have a few more months left with this tub!

Behind the Scenes - The Wild Ride

This month was all about the green screen. For Red Snapper's Wild Ride Mach II, I wanted to add a pop of complementary color. I had reds, oranges, and gold, and Mr. Toad had a blue bowtie. The blue bowtie didn't work with this outfit, so I opted for a blue boa instead. It also helps my eyes pop a little more. We tested my peach boa and an aqua boa, but this one looked best and didn't have too much green tint to it. I got a little stupid with the boa in 2021-03-27 19:27:24 +0000 UTC View Post

Topless Vlog #91

Burlesqueland XII is tomorrow and Saturday! And here's the vlog where I talk a little bit about it.

Full Reveal - Red Snapper's Wild Ride

In my last post, I mentioned the green screen and recording this act. We shot a little extra for you because it was hilarious. This isn't the final version that will be in the Burlesqueland show. We have more prologue and footage from a past live show attached to that. But this is the only naked one. Enjoy.

Old act, new tricks!

Oh hai, March!

After four years of Texas living, I'm back in Peepshow Menagerie's "Burlesqueland" next weekend. I was asked to reprise Red Snapper's Wild Ride, but there were some complications.

Truck space was limited when we left Los Angeles and we had too much stuff. We knew we'd have to get rid of some things, so I retired some numbers before the move. We ditched my custom-made (foam core) Mr. Toad car, the velcro-closure costume I modified to wear over the suspenders that hel...

Full Reveal: Delirious 2021

First, the pasties for this act absolutely refused to stay on when I was getting dressed to record. Enjoy.

Second, Mr. Snapper wanted to try out some new editing software on the video and has spent a chunk of the week learning how to use it for a non-green screen setting. Turns out that it's a bit of a nightmare. You'll see some samples of what can be done, but the entire video doesn't have the full treatmen...

Tub Tales 02.21.21

Last week was very random and my pasties made my nipples look like I wore cookie cutters. Enjoy the silliness.

Oh, hi! I'm still alive.

It's been a rough go in Dallas for the past week, which means I've been pretty quiet. If you've caught national news in the States, you may be aware of the extreme temperatures and hard winter week in Texas. It was -8 a couple days ago and it's supposed to be 75 next Wednesday.

We knew cold was coming. We dripped our faucets and stocked our cupboards. I pulled out my snow boots and long underwear. We spent our V...

One year older!

Outtake photo from a Chris Beyond photoshoot in my Los Angeles living room some years ago.

I turned over the biological odometer yesterday. I spent about an hour looking back at old Facebook and Instagram photos, smiling as I remembered different places I've been and people I've met.

I'm proud to be here, doing what I do when I can do it, and to share it with folks like you. Much love to all of you.

A special treat for you

Happy February! As my a special treat for my "All the Way" patrons, you can watch my show from last weekend until Valentine's Day! Once access is gone, it's gone for good. Enjoy!

Full Reveal - Crustacean Manifestation Plus

Online shows and studio recordings allow for a little more play. This is the super fun version of Crustacean Manifestation. Enjoy.

Tub Tales 01.29.21

I'm really happy to get back to the stage proper. :)

Behind the Scenes - Crustacean Fun

When we were in the studio, we did something fun because there was no live audience. We shot a master of each act and then he followed me around with the camera for a second take. Of course, I had to get re-dressed in between. I didn't want to take the entire corset and bra off to get re-dressed, which means Mr. Snapper had to get his hands dirty. :)

Back in go-go class!

I’m trying to get my shit together after a lazy end of 2020, which means I’m working on gigs, costumes, and study. I had a gig last weekend (which was awesomely fun) so I couldn’t return to class until today.

I got a portable dance floor in December to save my knees some wear and tear from doing the twist on carpet. It makes a huge difference for both go-go and ballet.

I’m thinking about reworking my Greedo number and adding more shape with some go-go dancing. I need to ti...

Thanks, pandemic.

Since a performer for tonight's show tested positive for COVID last week, I was called in as a replacement. (She's doing okay.) The show has sold out at 1/3 capacity for the venue, only six performers, masks galore unless performing, no curtain call, no social interaction. I feel pretty safe.

I'm happy to perform. My last in-person gig was February 28th, and I did one online show last summer. I'm also happy that the performer I'm replacing is doing okay.

The acts I'm doing tonight...

Everything's coming up oddball!

Happy New Year!

I've crossed the 13-year mark for professional burlesque, which is exciting. I just got word that I'm going to be published as a model again. (Details to come.)

I'm booked for an online show later this month. We shot the act over the weekend and did some fun stuff that we can't do in an in-person show. I'll share that with you after the show is done.

I was booked for an in-person show at Viva's Lounge in February, but one of the performers for this coming wee...

Behind the Scenes - 2020 Wasn't All Bad

My 2020 was better as a burlesque artist because of you. Thanks for the love. :)

Topless Vlog #90

Can you believe I've done 90 of these?! Many of them are casualties of video platforms that banned me for touching my tits. Hilarious!

Tub Tales 12.30.20

2020 has brought many strange things for all of us. For me, the list includes a (likely) broken nose from an enthusiastic dog, shorter hair, a few more freckles, and some good bath bombs.

Enjoy, my friends!
