How she became interested in burlesque:
I make sexy and modern cocktail hats and hair accessories and they are the perfect costume pieces for the burlesque girls.

How she plans to participate in Etsy's Burlesque Beauties:
I am wondering if there is any conventions for burlesque. I went to a Barbe collector trade show, and it attracts the desired buyers. I think if we can start a trade show for the public, it can be a very good promotion for kicking up the sales besides online.

What she sells on Etsy:
cocktail hats, hair accessories

To be honest, I'm not sure yet. I'd have to get a feel for the energy of the group first to see what would work...

How she became interested in burlesque:
I used to perform and choreograph for an annual holiday burlesque show at the Chico Cabaret in Chico, California. I moved to Idaho and have found several other burlesque groups, but have yet to find the right fit. I miss it a lot. I am still a creative contributor to the Burlesque show in Chico. I have never had the perfect body, and burlesque encourages women of all shapes and sizes and backgrounds and I love the art of tease, instead of just sleaze, and I worked very hard to instill that in all the performers in Chico.

How she plans to participate in Etsy's Burlesque Beauties:
I would love to promote people's work to the Chico Cabaret, perhaps they could get costume pieces from team members...I am also interested in developing my skills to be able to make more than just hair accessories...I have made several costumes, but would love to do more! I would also like to be able to make lingerie, bathing suits, corsets, and hats for retro, vintage, burlesque, awesome people!

What she sells on Etsy:
Right now I have mainly purses, hair flowers, and necklaces. I make all sorts of domestic diva kinds of stuff - kitschy kitchen, etc that I would like to get up there. I even sculpt really funny pin up leg pen holders that I'd like to get out in the world.

What can I say, life has been complicated, but here I am, back to run the show! I thought I would go ahead of feature the few entries we've had in the challenge over the last few months. Thank you to the loyal bombshell ladies who have participated. Feel free to leave your comments for those who have participated. We will start back up with voting with the entries this month in the Moulin Rouge challenge.

Don't forget, there is only a few more days to get your February entries submitted. Sadly I am in the middle of a moving from one state to another so all my craft supplies are packed away. I'm so disappointed because I had a seriously sexy handcuff design in mind for the Passion Challenge. I look forward to seeing what the rest of the team submits!

Kisses,
Betty
