Ah well, it was bound to happen... a trip home. I have one last show this Saturday in Colorado Springs then Sunday evening I hit the road from Denver. The next few days will be busy like the last couple with sewing. I'm debuting a new number on Saturday and will be furiously working on the costume up till the last minute, as it was a last minute decision. I also have a little sewing to do for others to keep my time full. Sunday I'll be attending the CO regionals of Burlypicks to support my friend Kougar DeVille. If I'm a good girl, I'll leave for OH right after the show... but I may stay over a night and hit Indian Hot Springs in Idaho Springs before I leave. There are NO hot springs anywhere near where I'm going. Last week was a very lazy, restful time spent at Cottonwood Hot Springs (first visit) and then a day and a half at one of my favorite places Valley View Hot Springs. I took a tumble while leaving Cottonwood and fell, which led to me going to soak more the next few days. Thankfully I wasn't as injured as I could have been sans the soaking. Still, it put a damper on a few things as I had to rest and take it easy. Grateful to be as mobile as I am and basically not hurt badly! I met a handful of interesting folks at Valley View and saw MUCH wildlife. A pair of grey squirrels were foraging near one of the pools, which I dug. There were mule deer everywhere that seemed quite used to the people. It's such a nice spot!
I've been able to book a few gigs back in OH, though none on the way back or in the general region yet. It'll be good to see family and friends, swap things out of storage, see my DR and then head back to CO. I can't stress enough the need to stay out West.
I'm already happy I'm back in Colorado Springs with friends. After the last few weeks of being in places that didn't really suit me, then getting sick on top of killer allergies, it's a welcome relief here. My last few shows in New Mexico were a lot of fun and there were some images that came in after my last post, so I felt I needed to share some of them now. The next images are from Burlesque Noir's Dangerous Show on March 28, 2015 at Launchpad in Albuquerque, NM. Images courtesy of Max Woltman Photography.

And now on to current events.... I'm getting ready for my last show that I have booked. I've not been seeking gigs so that I can be available to get a "real job" as soon as possible. There are STILL 2 festival notifications up in the air for CO and PA, but I am not counting them until I hear an acceptance or denial. I've had the first job interview in more than 10 years earlier this week, which was nerve wracking. I'm not too hopeful on hearing back on that one and have many more to send off resumes for this weekend. I'm still hoping to get a workamper position someplace that I will like and at which I can properly perform the duties required. I haven't been out working with the public in so long that I'm not sure if I can even do it or for how long or any other details, but I have no option but to try. I've gotten a few calls from the ad I placed in workamper, but so far they are in areas that I don't think are going to work well for me. These are very stressful days. OK so back to the fun ideas! The show next Saturday is at the Zodiac Venue & Bar next to The Green Line Grill. I love these folks so am really glad to be back again! The show producer Echo is an excellent friend and fellow performer as well as being a pleasure to be around. If you need to book some excellent entertainment or require unsurpassed stylist assistance, I highly suggest my friend Echo: Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007947098773&fref=ts If you're in the area please come see us! I'll be vending during the show and performing my Torchwood tribute number near the end of the show.

And after this show... who knows eh? My immediate plans are to stay in this region and see about a job nearby. The only thing I am sure of right now is that I must stay on the quest for a job. I'm not sure where it is or when it will take me away. I'd love to know soon and just get on with it. The dream job at the store in Jerome may call for me one day... but I feel it's not now and I must wait for it.
