Burlesque

So, I've joined the Cherry Bomb Burlesque troupe here in town.

Little ol' Manda joined a troupe where she'll have to parade around onstage in a thong and pasties (if I gather up the courage to get that nude.)

Little ol' Manda who is known for being the quiet, sweet girl is going to blow minds come October 9.

Am I comfortable with my body? Hell no I'm not. I've got cellulite and stretch marks out the wazoo, but I'm still going to flaunt 'em. Why? What possessed you to join such a troupe? Because, I am sexy. Whether you realize it or not, I have a desire to be seen as sexy. I am married, yes. My husband fulfills my needs, yes. But, I have a personal need that some might not understand. It is to be desired for the woman I am without facades. I can't hide anything onstage under the lights, and that excites me. In person, you see what I want you to see. If I don't like it, I won't show it to you. But here, I can't hide shit. And that is what excites me like nothing else.

Come October 9th, you will see an uninhibited woman who leaks confidence in what she can do. I will embrace my female form and I will make you remember me after the lights have gone out.
