I've had some wonderful and exciting opportunities afforded to me in my short time as a professional burlesque performer. Today I had my chest immortalized in plaster for Keep-A-Breast Foundation. Many performers I greatly respect have participated in this project previously, so I jumped at the chance to be part.
I'm glad it was a warm day in Los Angeles. I was wrapped from the waist down so I didn't get plaster on my dance pants. My top was bare and I had to put my hair up so I didn't get it all crusty and in the way. After oiling myself down so the plaster would eventually peel away from my skin, I was mummified by Shaney Jo. It was a pretty quick process. As the plaster started drying, I could feel it peeling away from my skin and the cast became heavier than when it was still wet and stuck to my body. When it was dry enough, I wriggled free and Shaney Jo trimmed it up. It was exciting and fun to participate.
My cast will be painted by a tiki artist and auctioned off at Tiki Oasis in August. I can't wait to see the final representation of my immortalized boobs!
