Sorry I've been away so long. This is re-posted from my brand new website, in case you're wondering what I've been up to the past trillion months since I last blogged. My bad!
"As the exclamation point to a fun, tragic, sexy, scary, thrilling and challenging 2011, I've launched this new website. I welcome all of you to the central hub for all things Cruel Valentine, and invite you to follow my blog into 2012, if you can handle it!
Now that the holidays are out of the way, I can focus on preparing for the nonstop burlesque-a-thon that will be 2012. Next year already has a ton of exciting things in store, both on a personal level and professionally, and I can't wait to tackle all of the challenges that it has in store for me. Bring it on!
I'll be finishing out 2011 with a bang (or two, if you're lucky) at the Festival of Flesh Pre-NYE Kick-Off Show at Lucky Number Grill with tons of great performers, friends and fans! Maybe I'll see you there?
To start off January, Suadela Intimates will be participating in The Art of Burlesque, a gallery reception and fashion/burlesque show at The 1901 Gallery Theatre on January 13th and 14th. This event will feature art, live performance and fashions by Suadela, as well as other local designers. Also - COCKTAILS! What could be better? The 1901 is like a second home to me. The good folks who run this versatile and unique space are my family. I would greatly appreciate it if you could donate or at least spread the word about their Kickstarter Campaign to help keep this very important hub of sexy creativity alive! This venue is home to burlesque, comedy performances, visual art exhibitions, live model drawing sessions, craft fairs and more. You can also support them by attending their upcoming events or contacting them about renting space for one of yours. I love the 1901. Thank you guys for all of the opportunities you have shared with me these past few years. Suck it!
I figure by mid-January, it will be cold enough, so I'll be heading to sunny Los Angeles for about a week and a half! I love L.A. and have been missing it terribly since the last time I visited in 2008. It's high time that I got back and made my L.A. burlesque debut, no? I'll be performing January 23rd at 3 Clubs for Monday Night Tease, and I have several other gigs pending and yet to be announced. More information coming soon!
In closing, I'd like to thank all of my burlesque family and my friends and fans for being so supportive, caring and inspirational to me throughout the past year. You all have provided me with so many wonderful challenges, opportunities and collaborations this year that it nearly made my heart burst. Let's continue and grow into 2012 and beyond, shall we? I love you all so very much!
A huge special thanks to my Suadela Intimates partner in crime, Sauda, for her help beautifying this site and getting it up and running! Not to mention feeding me, listening to me bitch, putting up with my nagging, indulging my craziest artistic whims and being a pillar of support. Thank you for being a friend!
Ta for now, y'all! Be safe, have fun, and I'll see you next year!

I love a good burlesque show. I especially love the local troupe from around here.

Happy Birthday, beautiful! Hope you're having lots of fun (especially if it involves misbehaving).
