Shimmy LaRoux's Slow Burn8 Jun 2023

9. BHOF 2023 Lovefest!

Hey there, welcome to this episode of "Slow Burn"! I had the pleasure of recently performing at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas this weekend, and I'm ready to talk about it! I cover my act, the beauty of #teamchi, the newly crowned court, and the magic of the entire weekend.

It was really great to see the levels of inclusivity and togetherness during the weekend and to see so many styles and types of performers grace the stage. Unfortunately, there there's always someone who wants to add poop to the punchbowl, so I touch on transphobic comments made less than 24 hours after the weekender. It was disappointing to hear, but it only reinforced the importance of standing up for what we believe in and supporting each other fully. I also talk about how I'm choosing to protest - with my dollars.

Overall, the Burlesque Hall of Fame weekend was an amazing experience, and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to perform again!
