This past weekend I was fortunate enough to perform in my hometown of Pittsburgh! The amazing Phat Man Dee joined Sticky Buns Burlesque as MC and jazz singer extraordinaire! We were also joined by The ‘Burgh’s premier burlesque troupe, the aptly-named Bridge-City Bombshells.
I met Phat Man Dee way back in high school, when I was making corsets out of maps and reciting monologues from the point of view of a stripper. Oh, and making art and stuff.
Here is a shot of a collaboration between me and Susie Brandt. We made this costume for Elsie the Cow, who lives in upstate New York. Susie Made the dress and I made the apron.
So things here at marlaparker.com are pretty much up and running. The only thing left to do is install a calendar so y’all can check out my schedule. I also have more photos of costumes that I hope to be able to post soon. In the meantime, you can check out the costume galleries for some other goodies.
Hey friends and fans! I’m finally getting myself together enough to make an actual proper website. With photos and updates and things. Photo below by David Wolff!
