Here is one reason I will not stop doing our shows:

Sasha,

Just wanted to write to say that I was at the Valentine's Burlesque show at Lee's Palace. Always a fan of boobs and dancing, I love watching your troupe wiggle their way through a show.

Anyhow, this time I went with my boyfriend, who has been suffering a drought in the bedroom as a result of my recent poor body image (and 20 pound weight gain). But as we watched your show and specifically, your voluptuously, sumptuous body enjoying the air....I felt so much better! My boyfriend turned and said "You have a Sasha body!" with a little glimmer in his eye.....needless to say, we enjoyed a long night!

Thank you for strutting your beautiful body that apparently resembles the curves that I now call SEXY!!!! I finally am able to see past the "gastric bypass/hungry/size 0" way of thinking I had succumbed to and love my curvaceous self.

Thanks.

Sniff! Honk! I am elated about Saturday night, and I am elated to receive letters like the one above. What she probably doesn't realize is that I too, have gained lots of weight 'cause I quit smoking, and I too, sometimes have a hard time getting on that stage, but I won't stop till all the girls stop hating themselves because once we stop hating ourselves we will have time to do so many other things. Stop the conspiracy!
What a show! What a crowd! What a FUCKED UP AND BRILLIANT NUMBER THAT WAS FROM CHAD LOGAN. We received one email that said they will never look at Star Wars the same way again. Bring on the lawsuits, Mr. Lucas!
Anyway, I am finally recovering from it all. I went out on Sunday to see my pals in the Two Koreas, then I came home all inspired to make some Estonian flag pasties, then Kitty calls at 3:30, and comes over with the showmaker and we sit in the kitchen till 6:30 drinking and yelling about how great we are. I completely miss the next day and walk around in a haze in the rain (I was so fucked up I ended up in the GAP buying jeans), then Denise and I had a romantic Valentine's dinner on my bed watching Mean girls and eating Ghandi rotis, then we went to see Hunter Valentine and the Cliks at the Gladstone. Cute girls galore.
this Sunday is my night at Ciao and there are going to be two birthday parties so I'm looking forward to it being busy. See you there!
xx
Sasha
