Time flies
On this day in 2013, Mr. Snapper and I were remarried. Our actual anniversary is August 14th, but we just had to do a show for our 20th anniversary. Enjoy this fun video of the ceremony.We're taking a vacation week from our day jobs next week to celebrate, relax, and create some content. We also have a tiny dog who...
Tit-Robics 2: Electric Boobaloo
Fun fact: I've learned how to jump rope in the past two months. I could never successfully jump rope until now. You get to giggle at the fruits of my labor. Mr. Snapper managed the fantastic visual effects.
Tub Tales 07.24.22
I made a very cool connection last week, and I'm excited to share about it. Also, Texas heat is no joke this summer. I was up at 6:30am today to prepare for shooting. The studio lights generate some heat, so I was trying to beat all of the heat from outdoors and the lights.
Behind the Scenes: A blank canvas
A couple months ago, I placed a nice little order with Manuge et Toi for some underthings for upcoming projects. I have the know-how to make my own strappy drawers, but it's faster and easier to get some things made by someone who makes them all the time. Plus, her technique has been perfected while mine isn't ...
Orion Slave Girl
In summer 2008, I was inducted into the Victory Variety Hour San Diego Comic Con annual show (off site from the Con) as the Orion Slave Girl from "Star Trek: The Original Series." I think I was invited to perform the role about a month before the show. Penny Starr, Jr. mixed music for one of my current acts wit...
Behind the Scenes - Dress Rehearsal with Nutmeg
Since she's a troublemaking puppy, we've been keeping Nutmeg away from the showgirl stuff until she has better discipline. That said, we decided to let her witness the magic as I ran my acts for my latest performance at Viva's.When she was even smaller (like that's possible), she would creep into my sho...

I got a root canal Friday. Surprise!
Full Reveal: Butterflies
A surprise root canal interrupted the creative timing this month, but I'm very excited to share this with you. From 2011 to 2012, Mr. Snapper and Mr. Buddy had a silly quarterly show at various theaters in Los Angeles. It was a great opportunity for me to debut or work on new acts. I had a lot of freedom, and I was...
Delightfully Dumb
This July marks a decade since the last installment of Snapper and Buddy's Rumpus Revue. I was in every show, but I didn't want to be listed as a show regular or featured performer because it was my husband's joint production with his comedy partner, Mr. Buddy. I don't think I ever paid him to do my Sas...
Full Reveal: Just the Two of Us
Mr. Snapper knocked this one out of the park. Shot in front of a blue screen in my home studio, he made magic with the Grogu marionette and the footage. Blue screen work meant he could remove himself as the puppeteer and we could do a fun effect that we couldn't do live. Enjoy!
Tub Tales 05.25.22
I didn't hurt myself during Star Wars! Also, I'm facing interesting challenges with training the fluffy brat that I hadn't yet considered. (This is the last of the cinnamon roll bubble bar from the Lush Boxing Day sale.)
Behind the Scenes - New Starlet?
(Patreon is being shitty with posting video links right now. Not sure why. Video is hyperlinked below.)Most of my month so far has been spent trying to tame the tiny beast. She's smaller than we expected, was the only one from her litter who survived (parvo claimed the others), didn't want to eat, and is always...
Is she going to be a starlet or a sofa loaf?
Here she is! That's my Nutmeg. We picked her up the day after the Star Wars show. We've visited with her every other weekend since she was four weeks old. I thought she'd be a little bit bigger when we picked her up, but she didn't do much growing in two weeks. She was so tiny when we collected her that...
Tub Tales 04.28.22
I was sick and missed my last gig, and I've been focusing on the Star Wars show. I'm maybe doing a stupid thing and building a bra from scratch for it. I should probably get started on that this weekend after I finish my other Star Wars chores (Star Chores?).
Full Reveal: Cocktails with Red Snapper - Recovery
I don't tend to consume alcohol after 8pm these days, but I've felt hungover after shows. This is my little magic potion to rehydrate and get ready for a day of activity. Fresh lime juice is better than bottled, but if you're reaching for a recovery drink, you probably don't feel like juicing limes.
Behind the Scenes: Mando Mando Mando
Last year I was asked to create a Mandalorian act with under three weeks until the show. I was replacing a performer who couldn't do the show. I whipped together foam armor and a simple costume, bought a 3D-printed helmet and finished it as quickly as I could, and Mr. Snapper made a Grogu marionette. It was insane....
The newest Snapper: Nutmeg
This is the puppy. She's four weeks old. Comes home in four weeks, the day after the Star Wars show. I wish she was here now so we could start her stage training (and pet her sweet little head). Very excited about Nutmeg.I almost didn't get to meet her this weekend. I've been suffering from food poisoning s...
Full Reveal: Sailor Jupiter
At long last, it's ready! I think the last time I performed this act in an actual venue was August 2019.This was an interesting challenge because we had to get a blue screen as there's a lot of green in the costume. I had a very small dance space on the fabric blue screen, but I think it worked out okay for the...

I've been a Dallas resident for five years as of this month! Good things have happened and are happening. :)
Behind the Scenes: New Starlet Alert
If you've seen the Tub Tales in recent months, you may recall my mention of a new pup. I was on a waitlist for a toy/mini aussiedoodle. This little girl was born last week on Saturday. She comes home the day after the Star Wars show. Only family, very close friends, and you have gotten to see her.She'll get a n...
Actorly Things
This week has been such an actor-filled week. My daytime hustle as a copywriter is for an agency, and sometimes talent is needed for product shoots. I was in two product videos this week. The above photo is from a location shoot.Tonight is L'Heure Verte at Viva's Lounge. I have lines in a couple of scenes. (I g...
Full Reveal: Cocktails with Snapper - Afternoon Delight
I concocted a little drink and made it silly. :) The drink itself is tasty.2 oz. Citadelle French gin2 oz. pineapple juice1/2 oz. grapefruit juice1/2 oz grenadineGinger beerFresh raspberries for garnish
Tub Tales 02.20.22
I got another haircut! I'm rambling on about birthdays, death, learning lines, and puppies. :)
Let's get back at it!
Photos by Mr. Snapper, and these are all of the photos from the set!In order to achieve that '80s fitness look, we had to get a backdrop and grab a couple wardrobe pieces. I love how it turned out. I added the fishnets for better balance in the presentation.I've wanted to do a fitness video for a long time, but...
A brief delay as I plan a wake...
My father's health was poor for a long time. I posted about it a few years ago. He was a stubborn old bastard, and he lasted years longer than we all expected.I got news on Sunday, the day before my birthday, that he finally passed. Strokes took a toll on his ability to function, and he chain smoked for at least 60...
Full Reveal: Tit-Robics!
I had to title the video differently on Vimeo so it doesn't get flagged. This is what we've been working on for you this month. I had too much fun with it. I hope you enjoy this quick and fun workout! ;)
Tub Tales 01.23.22
Maybe I'm a little too giddy about it, but we're going the direction of short films with the Full Reveal stuff. Still showing skin (sometimes pasties and panties, sometimes not), but harnessing our storytelling power and the skills of Mr. Snapper to really shine. I'm so excited about this month's projec...
Behind the Scenes: Putting in the Work
I'm not calling it a resolution, but I am dedicated to getting physical a little each day. I have dancer aches and pains, so I need to keep my joints lubricated and my body flexible. Tonight was ballet. It's been yoga, jogging, and virtual dance classes so far this year.We finally put up some of the old mirrors...
Sizzle Reel 2021
Here it is: our Snapperama Studios sizzle reel for 2021. Mr. Snapper and I love entertaining people together, even if that puts me on the stage and him behind the scenes. He's been directing, editing, animating, and titling works for me over the past year.If you're looking to book something fun for a virtual sh...
Fourteen years as a pro
Holy crap! I just realized that January 2nd or 3rd marks 14 years of performing burlesque professionally for me! That's bananas! I have more smile lines and freckles now. I'm also so happy to have the opportunities to perform for so many years!With necronomicron or whatever the current breed of COVID is, we may...
