The long version:
After moving to Newfoundland in 2003 on a US Fulbright Grant, Miss Jezebel began bumping and grinding in twice-yearly Neighborhood Dance Works "Evening of Burlesque" events while also teaching hip-hop, ballet, jazz and modern dance. After several of her students saw her perform burlesque and requested lessons in "how to do that", Miss Jezebel formed the Purity Girls School of Burlesque, a six-week crash course that turned out some of the sexiest stripteuses ever to hit The Rock. Miss Jezebel instructed more than 100 island girls in the art of the bump and grind during her time in Newfoundland She is thrilled that The Purity Girls continue to produce their own burlesque shows in her absence, and that Newfoundland enjoys a thriving burlesque and vaudeville scene to this day!
In June of 2007, Miss Jezebel Express was chosen as one of twelve Best Debut contestants to compete in the Miss Exotic World pageant. As she was already planning a move to New York, she packed up her bags early and performed at Exotic World while she was between residences! Since then, she's performed at a number of other major festivals, including Tease-O-Rama and The New York Burlesque Festival (where she was nominated for a 2008 Golden Pastie for "Best Booty Shaker!")
Since moving to New York, Miss Jezebel has been fortunate enough to work with some of the best names in the biz. She is honored to have been January 2008's featured performer in The “World Famous *BoB* Presents” series. Past regular engagements include hosting Ixion Burlesque’s “Down & Dirty Lounge” as a singing, stripping, wisecracking dame, twice-monthly performances at The Slipper Room, and appearances at well-known weekly shows such as Starshine Burlesque, Monday Night Burlesque, and Sweet-N-Nasty.
