Wednesday Photo Fun Day

Wednesday Photo Fun Day with The Luvely Rae There are very few photographers who never miss a beat. Max Neko is one of them. I love working with him because he understands what I’m doing before I even do it. This was a tough show for me, but once me feet heard Terry Waldo’s succulent piano notes, I was able [...]

Here’s a little something new I’m trying with The Luvely Rae’s blog. Mondays I’ll share a little about what’s on my Mind and what Music has popped up on my playlist. So here’s my first Mind & Music! Monday’s Mind & Music 11/26/12 So what’s on The Luvely Rae’s mind today?Everything! My mind is swimming so much with various thoughts [...]

May burlesque bounty

Lots of changes underway, but all of them for the greater glittery good. This month I’m making One night Stand one night only. I know crazy!  We’re doing it up big time with full dinner service being available at Drom in NYC. It’s a beautiful room and will be filled with beautiful people. I’m sharing the stage with: Check us [...]

So many life changes recently (new jobs, new dance students, saying goodbye to students who’ve finished their program, going from incredibly bored to incredibly busy), but the majority of the changes have been for the better. I’m happier just thinking about the future. Here’s a change worth singing about. My burlesque show, “The Luvely Rae’s One Night Stand”, is 4 [...]

Now that the old Tax Extension is filed (if you’re still digging up receipts you might as well just file an extension and save yourself some stress), it’s time to gear up for some shimmy shaking fun. Only a few more chance to shimmy with me this April. Planning what random bits of fun we’ll do for tomorrow’s audience games. [...]

I slept through an amazing party on Saturday and felt the blahs on Sunday. Now here we are on Tuesday and I’m all bubbly. Maybe it’s because it’s a show day. Maybe because I’ve finally caught up on my sleep. If you’re out and about in New York City tonight then come by Sapphire Lounge and share a drink with [...]

I hate my feet!

Well I must hate my feet, given that I’ve chosen to torture them. Spent all weekend dancing ballroom (stepped on someone doing Bolero) and now I’ve opted at the last possible minute to do my pointe act tonight. Of course my feet hurt! Of course I should stop being stupid and pick a different routine. Of course, I love challenging [...]

The beauty of Belly Dancing

I had a ton of fun on Saturday shimmying in Manhattan a few lovely ladies at my Belly Dance Striptease Workshop. Anyone who knows me and has watched a Belly Dance performance with me, knows that I am quick to tell you what I don’t like. Some people consider this snobbish on my part. Any trained professional should be able [...]
