Dead Sexy October
Sexy is sold everywhere. TV and internet ads tell us that being sexy is important and what sexy looks like, but sexy doesn’t come in just one form. Sexy is whatever makes you feel good, and that might not be what the sold stereotype is. I’m not saying that lingerie and lace aren’t sexy, they’re great; but I think there’s more options of ‘sexy’ than that, and sometimes it’s blood and gore. That’s one of my favorite things about producing Dead Sexy Burlesque, I have a chance to explore my sexy-creepy side. Being ‘sexy’ in societal standards becomes more difficult…

I have posted a bit on social media about my wonderful interaction with Stacy London after the panel discussion but I want to mention something that happened mid discussion when I posed a question to the ladies. I will admit that I was rambling a bit from nerves – (Stacy is a huge inspiration of…
Three “Real People” Does Not Equal Body Positivity
It’s Fashion Week – as I’m sure you all know – and once again DKNY has used “real” people in their runway presentation. I’m always taken aback by the coverage of these additions – because firstly – it implies that the actual models are somehow less “real” than the new additions that were so-called “street cast.” My second problem lies within the fact that these three women pictured above are the proclaimed “real” people. Interesting how they all look like models, are shaped like models, and even have some model-esque photos of themselves lying around on the interwebs. I’ll give…
