She has quite the impressive CV as one of New Zealand's top burlesque dancers, hula hooper, aerial acrobatic, internationally published tattoo model and cover girl, and circus show girl.
She says burlesque has become more widely accepted over the last couple of years and more people are starting to get into it.
