My favorite photos are the ones that are taken behind the curtain! We often get bored between shows or in the studio, and lots of shenanigans ensue. I take a lot of selfies to document my shows when there are no photographers. I love looking back and seeing all the places I’ve been, how much fun I had, my different costumes and all the fun memories. I hope you’ll enjoy these, too!
I’ve posted them in random order, because let’s be honest, I don’t even recall the exact chronological order these were taken in! I’ll be working on adding captions (and more photos) over time.
