Right after my trek up north, I'm heading to @dystopiarisingny for Deathconnnnnnn

June 20th-22nd

I'll be opening the weekend with my show of shenanigans.
Bringing you a squeamish inducing delight. From bone shattering animal traps, walking on glass, eating fire, invulnerability to the bed of nails, feats of strength, and hammering nails into her head…

You think I can sway a bunch of zombies and Raiders with fruit snacks?! 😅

------

The Oddities & Curiosities Expo showcases hand selected vendors, dealers, artists and small businesses with all things weird. You'll find items such as: taxidermy, preserved specimens, original artwork, horror/halloween inspired pieces, antiques, handcrafted oddities, quack medical devices, creepy clothing, odd jewelry, skulls/bones, funeral collectibles & much more. We truly have something weird for everyone at our shows. All items you see at our shows are legal to own and sustainably sourced. Outside of our curated vendors, we host sideshow performers on stage all throughout day and the opportunity to learn the craft of taxidermy with classes available during the expo.

The O&C Expo provides a safe place for anyone to come and discover new artists, meet new friends and be surrounded by an amazing community of like-minded people. We pride ourselves in being a completely "DIY" ran show from start to finish. We find so much joy in being able to provide a place where you can feel at home surrounded by others that share the same interests. We are the first and original traveling event exclusively showcasing oddities vendors and dark artists in the country. We are a one of a kind event and the first to do what we specialize in. We take tremendous pride in this and hope to gain your support along the way.

WITNESS MEEEEEEE!

Quick shoutout to the one and only @rickstrongback — thanks to their guidance, I rolled a frying pan on the @coney.island.usa stage this weekend!

Feeling good about how it’s shaping up, and excited to see what it morphes into from here.

This past weekend was so needed.

The benefit of being around such wonderful, creative, and inspiring folk is feeling so energized when you walk away.

I can only hope that I support their energy, the way they effortlessly do so for me.

Thank you @coney.island.usa

It's World Circus Day!!!

I have been scrolling through performance photos trying to pick the best one to go with this post, and I discovered there's too many.
Instead, I'm posting a photo from one of the most recent shows I was in.
I was asked to represent Furies Funtime Variety Sideshow at Richmond Fringe Festival Cabaret.
We won Audience Choice 💜

I've been performing for a long time, and I feel like I've only recently found somewhat of a footing in a world that brings me so much inspiration and satisfaction.
It's hard job. I've met and worked with awful people, sustained many injuries, exhausted myself to burnout with a long recovery journey, I've pushed through emotional depletion to fulfill obligations.
However, I've also worked with the most amazing supportive beings, I've traveled to other countries, experienced the most beautiful unique moments, become part of a community, and people have shared that my art has inspired them.
It's just so kewl.
I'm going to keep doing my best to be better. I can't wait to see what experiences I get to share next year.

Later this year, I’ll be performing and presenting as the Keynote Speaker at Poe’s Magic Conference in Baltimore!

This is one of my favorite events—it’s all about bizarre, storytelling-focused magic, which is very much my vibe.

I’m especially honored to be recognized in this way. And even more thrilled that this year’s lineup is intentionally spotlighting more LGBTQ+ artists and women in magic. That kind of representation on stage really matters.

Can’t wait to share space with such a powerful and creative group.
