Episode Synopsis
Send us a textDisclaimer: The episode is a tad adult in nature, so this is your warning, you might not want to listen around the kiddos. In this episode of 'Jacqui Just Chatters', Jacqui Lents interviews her friend Sonia, an elementary school teacher who lived a dual life as a burlesque performer. Sonia discusses the nature of burlesque, defining it as an art form with a loose rubric that's up for interpretation but, generally, a variety show. The episode covers the performer selection process, the variety of shows and performances, and how Sonia balanced her day job with this nighttime passion. There's also a discussion on how the burlesque experience helped plus-size Sonia gain self-confidence. The podcast episode takes a lighter tone too, with Sonia sharing amusing stories from her time as a performer, including a public whipping and flashing a police officer. If you need a laugh cure right now, this is your perfect medicine.
