Has anything crazy ever happened at a show? YES! WE PERFORMED FOR TOMMY LEE AND DID A TRIBUTE TO SHOUT AT THE DEVIL...THE NEXT DAY A PHOTOGRAPHER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME TOMMY PUT ME ON THE COVER OF HIS WEBSITE....SWEET! WE'VE ALSO HAD SOME MAJOR COSTUME MALFUNCTIONS. ONE TIME I WAS DRESSED AS A GLOW IN THE DARK SKELETON AND WHEN I GOT IN THE COSTUME I GOT ON STAGE AND RELIZED I FORGOT MY BOTTOMS! I JUST SAID FUCKIT AND SLIPPED OUT OF THE COSTUME AND ROCKED IT. IT WAS PRETTY HILARIOUS! THAT NIGHT I ALSO TOLD SATANS ANGEL ( A BURLESQUE LEGEND WHO LIGHTS HER TASSELS ON FIRE) TO GO ON STAGE WHILE THE BAND WAS PLAYING AND LIGHT EM UP CAUSE THE VENUE TOLD US NO FIRE TASSELS. WE GOT BANNED FROM THAT CLUB THAT NIGHT. THE SHOW KICKED ASS THOUGH! WE STILL GET REMINDED OF IT....THE CROWD WENT INSANE! THATS BURLESQUE FOR YA!
