Dear Constant Reader,
Happy Friday! Thank you everyone who left lovely messages this week for my birthday! I had a wonderful day and will continue the celebration this weekend.
Here’s your tip!
Unscrewing another burlesque performer’s light bulb doesn’t make yours shine brighter. It just makes the whole world a little darker.

Tearing someone down does not make you a better performer; it diminishes our entire community. We’re all trying to create great entertainment with a very niche art. The more of us support our fellow burlesquers, the better we can accomplish that. Remember, a rising tide lifts all strippers*.

*Thanks to Lili VonSchtupp for the great aphorism.
