The hidden side of performing.

Pulling myself together when all I want to do is fall apart but not knowing how to fall apart and being afraid of what that looks like.

So I put on a face. And I perform.

I cried nearly the entire day. Moments of overwhelming sorrow followed by moments of numbness and disassociation. Feeling guilty for choosing to continue with the show tonight. Feeling sad. Feeling like I should be doing something, anything, other than sitting in the overwhelming sorrow that threatens to take over every time I stop moving. So I don’t stop moving. I don’t let the grief catch me longer than I have to.

So I put on a face. And I perform.

Today, we had to say goodbye to Chip. My Chip-doo. Chipperrooni. My shadow and my biggest fan.

And somehow, the world keeps going. There are things to do. There are acts to perform. An audience to dazzle and charm.

So I put on a face. And I perform.

I search for connection with people who don’t know I’m in pain.

Maybe that’s part of the hidden side of performing. Sometimes the person making you laugh, smiling for the photo, or celebrating the success of the night is carrying something so heavy they can barely breathe underneath it.

They put on a face. And they perform.

Tonight, I’m proud of the performance I gave.

And tonight, my heart is broken.

Both things are true.

And the truth is, my face is coming off. The performance comes to an end for the night.

I’ve learned a LOT since I was a baby burlesque kitten.

So I put together a few things I wish Lil Avery had known sooner.

Big thanks to Q***r Butte for having me as a guest instructor this upcoming Sunday for their “Draglesque” series where I’ll be teaching a class I call Performance, Not Perfection.🩷

Now I want to hear yours.

What do you wish someone had taught you when you were starting out?

My dear friend, and local pizza magician, Collette recently needed emergency surgery to amputate part of her foot, and since then, her and her wife’s current home has become unsafe for her. They live in a third-floor apartment with no elevator, and she cannot safely get up and down the stairs. What used to be a home is now a daily obstacle, and they need to move as soon as possible to a first-floor apartment where Collette can recover with more safety and dignity.

Repost of a jacket I customized 5 1/2 years ago. The loss of Dolly leaves a profound hole in so many hearts. The world is a less kind, generous, and loving place with her departure unless we all embody the traits Dolly had.

Three days of Lucy Darling Crewcy Road Ready with Carissa Hendricks is officially in the books.

And holy s**t. What a game changer.

I went in thinking I’d get some good feedback and ideas for Avery. I did not expect to leave with my brain completely rewired about how I think about my character, my shows, and what I’m actually trying to build.

There were a lot of moments of “OHHHHH!!! That’s it! That’s the piece I didn’t know!!”

I have a ridiculous amount of notes, a ridiculous amount of homework, and a much clearer idea of where I want to go from here (it’s everywhere)

Huge thank you to Carissa and the entire Crewcy for three days of pushing us, challenging us, and giving us so much to chew on. And to the whole Crewcy…what a fu***ng talented group of weirdos to spend three days with.

Now I get to go home and actually DO all the things I wrote down.

Road ready? Nahh I’m a Road Warrior!Let’s fu***ng go. 💖

One of the coolest things I’ve done this year, is applying for Carisa Hendrix “Road Ready” program. I’m one day into this three day training, and it’s a game changer! One of the downsides (and upsides) about producing shows in a small isolated state is having to learn how to do it all yourself, while still being incredibly talented and ridiculously good looking. Day 1 has connected so many dots and helped me realize that my love of spreadsheets is rightfully so! Cannot wait to apply the teachings at my next burlesque production (November 7th, Butte America)

Enjoy this picture of cardboard cutout Carissa (as Lucy Darling) and I at her May show in Missoula. Should I get cardboard cutouts made of me?!?!?!

How I feel coming back to reality after an amazing and successful burlesque production for Montana Pride (and the days spent recovering). Huge thank you to my performers and for the crowd that showed up. I feel human again!

Photo by Isa Tumble from months ago! As per usual I was too busy being fabulous to take day of photos. Also aren’t I amazing?!?!
