She brings wonderment and surprise with her mix of hip-hop and classic soul while looking like she stepped out of a Gauguin painting and straight in to a technicolor film. You’ll never look at your grandma the same way again…" She has been in the New York burlesque scene since 2008 and her humble beginnings started at Kitty Nights burlesque.
