Who Are You?

Two famous character have said this in movies; the Wizard of Oz to Dorothy and the Caterpillar to Alice.Now, I must say this to myself. Who is Dangerous Delilah? Right now, I'm not too sure who she is just yet, she is a mystery to me. So, what to do? I started surfing the web to look for inspirational pictures. Anything that made me think of Dangerous Delilah. So, here they are :)


Ms. Delilah is opulent and lush. She is a lover of french things and delectable food. She is comfortable in diamonds, fur, heels and red lips. She is an adventurer, explorer, and lover of life. I think it is important to know who she is as well as who she is not. She is fun but not a comedian, classy but not pretentious. On stage she is fun, flirty and sexy.

The point of figuring out who your character is helps her be more "real" on stage. Your character can be as much or as little of the real you as you want. I think the more personality of her own and the more you know her the better she will be on stage. She will come alive and be whatever it is you want her to be. She will be confident, fun, flirty and sexy and the audience will see this.
Do I know who Dangerous Delilah is or who I want her to be, no, but I know her a little better. Get to know your stage character, let her be a little be of something......and she might just shine a little brighter on stage for you.

I want to say an extra THANK YOU to Miss. Laika Fox!!! She linked my blog to my new link. So no more .blogspot.com :) Just go to www.dangerousdelilah.com whoot whoot!! THANK YOU.

I Learned Something

On Thursday I got the privilege to perform at Fire Eaters Anonymous in Blank Space in the Metreon in downtown San Francisco. I was happy to perform, since I didn't think I would get the chance in November, thank you If-N-Whendy!

So this is what happened. I was getting ready at home, putting my hair in hot rollers when I realized, yet again I didn't have any cloths on. Bummer, try putting cloths on with rollers in your hair, its hard just moving your head around! This isn't the first time I've done this too, you would think I would learn. I found a cute warm sweater dress that would fit nicely over the rollers, I finished my make up and went out the door.

When I got to the show no one noticed me, that's fine for me. Then I get into costume with the other lovely lady's If- N-Whendy, Pickles Kintarro, Laika Fox, and Cherry Chapstick. It was a small, quick, beautiful show. When we were done and changed that's when I felt like I didn't belong. The other lady's had something beautiful to put on, something that made them look like performers and like they were something special. I had my sweater dress and flats back on and felt oh so out of place. My boyfriend even said I looked like a goober and I did! Not like a burlesque performer at all, I didn't even want to stay and watch the other things going on.

What I learned is, I need to stay in character. If I want to stand out, feel special, like I belong in the glamorous burlesque genera, I need to act the part. Dangerous Delilah is not a girl in a sweater dress. She is a stunner and I need to make her that way. So the very next day I when to to the Betty Paige store on Haight st and tried on a bunch of beautiful dresses and whittled it down to two. So now I have 3 pinup dresses (the other is from http://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/). I L.O.V.E. them. The fit and the styling of these dresses make me feel sexy, pretty and classy. I have now worn two of the dresses and I turned heads. Just wait till Dangerous Delilah gets a hold of these :)

I hope to put up pictures of these dresses soon.
