I like to do the splits

I think this is pretty self explanatory.

Sugar Cane Jane sure likes to end the show in the splits.

The Gong Gong Song: An Ikettes Burlesque Tribute

I've realized that I haven't posted anything about burlesque or my alter ego Sugar Cane Jane in quite some time, so I thought after having performed this past Friday, that I'd share my most recent routine. Though this act is my newest solo feature, I've already had the pleasure of performing it three times in the last month and a half, twice with the Vaudezilla team and once with the lovely Scarlett Deville & the Devillettes. The footage below is from my show with Vaudezilla at EXIT Chicago this past Friday, and is my first show back from my three week wedding hiatus.

The act is entitled the Gong Gong Song and was originally released by the Ikettes, Ike & Tina Turner's famous back up dancers. If you're a John Waters fan, you might remember this track from the HAIRSPRAY soundtrack. I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this song, I love soul, I love dancing, I love John Waters, I love the 60s, and I certainly love shakin' my tail feather, so I feel that everything just sort of fell into place with this act.

Enjoy!

...and then I got married!

....and because I'm leaving for my honeymoon in a few hours, I'm leaving you with a few photo teasers of my husband and myself at our insanely fucking awesome 300 person wedding! (Which was held at both Johalla Projects & The UPRISE Loft in Chicago, thanks to our dear, dear friends)

I think the theme of the entire weekend leading up until our spectacular day was GO BIG OR GO HOME. So, everybody went HUGE.


When I get back, and we round up all the photos from our guests and photographers, I promise I'll have a very detailed description and visual play by play of all the insanity. And even a picture or two of Stu's dad in his kilt...
