Hello World!

Some of you I know, some of you I'm meeting for the first time. I'm DD Ramona, troupe member of Revival Burlesque. I perform with Revival and other acts on occasion in and around the great city of Philadelphia.

For a while now, I've been looking for a way to create an online presence for myself. Most of the other girls in Revival Burlesque have a myspace page or somesuch, and I did try that for a time. The two big problems presented by this were 1) I never even think about myspace, let alone use it, and 2) the photo upload system regularly glitches, meaning I haven't been able to upload a picture in ages.

Even despite those things, I feel like I'm more interested in talking about what it's like to be a burlesque performer than to just share photos or videos. Don't worry, I'll throw in some photos and videos. But I also want to talk about what we're working on as a troupe, what I'm working on individually and what other people are working on that I desperately wish I could pull off.

So here I am now. Hi. I hope you'll check back often. The new Revival Burlesque season will start in October, with a Revue of last season at the end of September, so things are going to really be getting underway soon. I'm a little nervous and very excited. Join me, won't you?
