When people say I look intimidating, it's hard for me to relate to. I hear that a lot. I don't know why.

I've always loved the idea of not being what people expect me to be.

Me personally, I want to entertain people above all. When you look back at burlesque in history and the real golden age of burlesque, those entertainers were there to entertain, and there wasn't usually some big political message behind what they were doing.

People who follow all the rules and chase every trend tend to get forgotten - they look great, but they're not as memorable.

Thanks to my mother, people tell me I look younger than I am, especially without make-up. And I suppose my father had a part in making me more frugal with my money.

I want to remind people of a different kind of glamour, a different look, and breaking the rules of fashion. I wanna break the rules.
