Performed to Schoolhouse Rock's "Naughty Number Nine" 'Cause you must have some secret way you can check on or you'll break your neck on Naughty Number Nine Video viewable on Media Page.

Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away?

Look This Good
A sing-and-strip act to original music. An ode to everyone who's ever eaten ramen to buy rhinestones it took days to apply, suffered blisters for their fabulous shoes, or endured a terrible wig headache. Ends in tassel twirling. YES, while still singing!
(requires ability to use the artists wireless headset microphone system)
Get out your makeup case
It's time to prep your face
''Cause it's a long rat race for just a taste of a tiara
You gotta work so hard to Look This Good-
I think you do and everybody should.

An intensely emotional act about internal and external struggle, the fight to be free from what binds us, and the lure those binds have. Includes veil fan work, floor work, and a hoop skirt cage dress that creates some very arresting shapes in movement.

It may take a kiss or two

And I will be your Robottom.

The Mile High Club
Sing-and-Strip to original music about, you guessed it! Sex on an airplane! Full of silly puns.

I Can't Close My Eyes
A performance art sing-and-strip about struggling to make it as an artist to sparse rock music. Enter covered in plastic wrap with layered reveals of rejection letters, poster for shows that flopped, budget spreadsheets in the red. Glittering latex smile peels away. Music has lyrics anyone that has struggled can relate to, the "artist part" comes in play through costuming.
I can't close my eyes
To the things I see
So I'll just disguise
That they're so ugly
