"Winning is perspective. Marinka is the one that taught me that. What did you win; you won connections. What did you win; you won a standing ovation. What did you win; you won friendships. You won fans. There's so many ways to look at winning, and I'll tell you, I have won in more in more ways than one."
Miss Brawling Beauty is a fantastic multitalented force of nature living in Las Vegas. We talk coming from Utah, blue laws (yes, they're still very real!), stripping in the 90s, gaining the title Princess at The Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender, disability advocacy, sideshow arts and clowning in the family, producing the Salty Desert Burlesque Festival, and her close friendship with the burlesque legend Dee Milo. Miss Brawling Beauty won the distinction of Cirque du So Great at the Silver Tusk Awards in 2023.(this conversation was recorded September 12, 2023)
