My friends! We have a VERY special guest on the velvet chaise today—author, artist, performer, historian, and my personal burlesque mentor and muse, Jo Weldon.Over 20 years ago, Jo and I met in a dusty Times Square rehearsal studio on a wintry evening in New York City. She changed my life completely by teaching me the art of fan dancing. With big, white, ostrich feather fans soaring over my head and around my body, I floated like a dove on the air of sensual greatness. Suffice it to say, my life has never been the same since.In this episode, we delve into gems on: How burlesque, adornment, and simply walking down the street can all be a literal stage for expressing our unique life forcePreserving the vibrant history of burlesque, and celebrating the trailblazing legends who carved a path of freedom and creativityJo's personal journey towards sobriety and how it has reshaped her creative processCat prints, rock stars, secret art sketches, and so much more Jo’s stories of overcoming fears, embodying her own unique spark, and finding true community are beyond inspiring.
