  • ✨ #showgirlstorytime 📚⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ How do you go from being a #bunhead to a #showgirl ???⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Easy. You train your whole life to be a ballerina and get rejected so many times from the ballet companies for being too tall and get weight notice after weight notice in a professional ballet company for three years that you get so sick of it and audition for the largest Showgirl production that Vegas had ever seen.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ That’s how.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ My first audition (there were nine total to get and maintain my “spot” between 2000-2005) was in January 2000.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ It was the hardest audition I’ve ever done in my life. Not only had I not done jazz or anything else similar to the type of choreography in Jubilee since I was 14, but I hadn’t worn heels since I was 16. It was TOUGH!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I must have impressed them with my killer legs and long arms looking like baby Bambi on ice because after the lineup, I was called down to talk to the company manager, Fluff and the assistant company manager Diane.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I was introduced to the Wardrobe Manger and sent down to be measured. Two weeks later, I received my contract and started rehearsals.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #gazealous #showgirlpreneur #travelingshowgirl #milehighshowgirl #showgirlslife #showgirllife #lasvegasshowgirl #legsamilehigh #fabulousflatlay #flatlay #jubileeshowgirl #classicshowgirl #showgirlcostume #fancyflatlay #jubileeephemera #jubileeshowgirl #featheryflatlay #jubileehistory # # # # # # #classicshowgirl #vintagevegas #vegasentertainment #vegasshowgirl #vintagevegasentertainment

  • Humility is Arrogant⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A few years ago, I was in the middle of an identity crisis and in search of meaning in my life. I was consuming any information that I could to explain this gaping void that I felt within.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I started meditating, read self help books, started a yoga practice, entered therapy and, scoured the internet for more self help info.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I came across a blog by Farhanna Dhalla, that had an interesting message that still echoes in my head to this day.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was called “Your Humility is Very Arrogant.” I was intrigued.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I had been told my whole life to be humble. And then to be told that I was being arrogant?!?⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After reading her post, I felt an amazing resonance with her idea. It made complete sense to me. A sort of beautiful clarity had begun to dawn on me and I began to feel less of that gaping void.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The bottom line is this:⠀ We are taught from an early age to be humble because no one likes arrogance. It makes us subservient to others and their feelings and causes us to fail to shine because we are worried about hurting other people’s feelings if we show our awesomeness. ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don’t dim your light because you are afraid of out-shining someone else. We all have the ability to connect to our amazing talents and share those with the world. It is a choice.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After reading her post, I made the decision to stop dimming my light. ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shortly after, I found my entrance back to the stage through burlesque. I had found me again. And have been creating the life of my dreams ever since.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope that you...Be you. Be amazing. Be your magnificence.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gazealous #showgirlpreneur #showgirlblog #bloglife #showgirlslife #coaching #showgirlsshortcuts #onetoonecoach #amplifyyou #insidework #shinefromtheinsideout #havemorefun #permissiontoplay #dancecoach #performancecoach #featheryflatlay #confidencecoaching #womenscoach #confidencecoach #frommundanetomagic #femininitycoach #AmplifyYou #transcoaching #transgendercoach #femalecoach #lifecoach #funcoach #mondaymusings #getyoursexyback #l
