I had the most amazing time of my life at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend in Las Vegas. It was my first time attending (after years of wanting to go) and I was incredibly fortunate to win ‘Best Debut’ – the first BHOF award ever won by a Canadian (followed shortly after by Roxi D’Lite winning the second – 1st runner-up for ‘Reigning Queen of Burlesque’.

My win was covered by the Vancouver Sun and Calgary Herald:

I also appeared in this fantastic video featuring Paula the Swedish Housewife, Dixie Evans and The World Famous *BOB*:

There was also a segment on the Travel Channel’s Extreme Competitions program but I can’t find it anywhere… If you know of it up anywhere please let me know.
