Biscuits & Gravy Tour: Nudie Photo Shoot in Ft. Worth

Friday morning I did a photo shoot with Dynamite Dames in Ft. Worth. We were going for a very specific nude theme, and we had to shoot outside. The weather was fantastic, but we had to shoot in an urban area so we had to get clever with masking the nudity so I didn't get arrested and miss my Friday night show.

So what do you do with a naked girl on a street corner when you're trying to shoot photos? You take test shots of the model in some fabulous & easy-to-remove John Mayer sweats. You get a team to standby with props and a blanket to block the actual shoot from passersby. When the coast is relatively clear, the clothes come off and the shutter clicks like mad. Of course, you still might get some traffic.

I realized I'm publicly naked so much I really need a special robe for this sort of thing.

Biscuits & Gravy Tour: Eff U-Turns

Last night I danced in San Antonio for the first time. It was an adventure. We had no problem finding our hotel an the outskirts of town, but the 15 minute drive to the venue turned into a 50-minute adventure with 10 U-turns. We couldn't find the venue because we expected a street sign based on Google maps and Mapquest. We finally figured out it was an industrial-looking complex we'd passed twice.

Forty minutes late for call time, we arrived in a fluster and the lobby was already filling with patrons. Dancers were deep in their preparations in the dressing room, so not everyone was as chatty as I usually expect in the dressing room. I found out later that night that there were some debut performers, and I'm sure they were concentrating on their choreography in their heads when we arrived. The other performers were much more chatty after the show started.

The show was wonderful. I got to watch most of it from the wings of their capacious and awesome theatre. They had inconspicuous seating for the performers in the house, but I was wearing costumes that didn't really lend themselves to sitting. The crew was delightful and the audience was loud and friendly. My friend from Austin made it to the show!

I had a great time in San Antonio. I'm up bright and early to make the trek up to Denton to model some latex for Dr. Sketchy's now.

Tape O Plenty

Last time I flew to Dallas with my feather fans, i got a giant box at the last minute. I rigged the inside so my fans wouldn't shift and filled the box with shoes and costume pieces. That afforded me more space in my luggage but the box was an absolute bitch to drag to the counter and from baggage claim.

This time I used a couple triangle boxes given to me by Jason at Fabulous Feathers. I turned them inside so you couldn't see what company provided him with the boxes. I taped the boxes together so they'd count as a single piece of luggage, and I slid my fan bags inside. I taped the top down only to have the airline open the boxes to inspect them before the TSA opened them again. I also clearly marked the outside of the box so I wouldn't have to explain to the ticketing agent what was inside.

I prefer this solution. I was able to snatch up the box single-handed as it was disappearing on the luggage carousel for another round of fun.

Biscuits & Gravy Tour: Merch

I'll have merch available at my Texas shows to help subsidize the cost of my trip and leave my new friends with mementos. I have stock of the styles and colors of pasties shown available for $10 a pair. I've also donated a pair of pasties for a raffle at the Dallas show.

I'll also have "Snapper Does Texas" buttons for $2 each. My wonderful friend Chris Beyond is designing and making them for me.

Be sure to say hi if you make it out to one of my shows there!
