This event is NOT happening this week, but space fills up so register early!
Join us for a Beginner friendly to moderate course for Stage & General Makeup. This is a makeup course for all skill levels and skin tones. In this course we will learn how to make your face speak for itself. Whether you know how to blend, bake or not you will walk away from this course knowing how to Beat!
*Full disclosure that my skills and techniques are based upon my darker tone in particular but all of you can take part.
Register online at THIS LINK
**Space is limited to 5-7 Students per class time. So register ASAP so you don't miss out!
There are too many regularly occurring Classes to list in here now. Check out the website for the list.

You may have missed…
There are so many insightful voices in the burlesque community, both local and elsewhere! You will find some links to blogs and other informational things that you may want to read in this section!
Denver’s own Frenchy Mymy has a BOOK! She may have originally written it in French, but this one has been translated for us to enjoy. It has nothing to do with burlesque but we wanna support all the same.
Know of a burlesque blog that should be featured??? Submit it as a resource!

Suki was born and raised on the dark side and finds her melt there. She reads Tarot and as a natural creature of the night, dances the night away as her “day job”. Sensual and seductive is her art form and she hopes you enjoy.
