best time
I feel better about myself when I look my best. I always find the time to put on my powder and do my chignon.
ballet dancers great nervous people time
I'd say the only time I ever get nervous is around great ballet dancers or people I really admire.
empowered fact message photos time women
I feel empowered the fact that I can look the way that I do on stage and in photos - I can look that way any time I want. And I feel like it's important message to other women that they can do it, too.
although atmosphere great keeps performing prefer stage yoga
I prefer the competitive atmosphere of a classroom setting, like yoga or Pilates. That keeps me going. Although performing on stage is great exercise!
dress home including items loved match painted room
I have a lot of Burberry items at home, including one dress that I loved so much that I had my living room painted to match because the color was so flattering.
bringing considered intrigued taboo
I was always intrigued by the idea of bringing things together that are considered taboo or risque and bringing them together with something of high elegance and sophistication.
I don't feel I have an alter ego.
feet flats tired
But I'm not the girl who changes into flats because my feet are tired at the end of the night. I go the distance. I go all the way.
creative overlooked people producer project side
I'm a designer, producer and I am hands-on for every project I undertake. The creative side of what I do is really something I think people overlooked for a while.
normal
So I have the green smoothie every day for breakfast, and then sometimes even for lunch too, and then I have a normal dinner.
beauty persuaded
I think the beauty looks I most regret are those I was persuaded into.
based burlesque rand sally
When I started performing, there was no Internet; I didn't really have anything to copy. I kind of had to just make up what I thought burlesque was, based on photographs of Sally Rand or whatever.
I'm not always in a full face of make-up! That's actually one of the things I like about make-up - that you can strip it away and show your vulnerability.
frugal money people suppose thanks younger
Thanks to my mother, people tell me I look younger than I am, especially without make-up. And I suppose my father had a part in making me more frugal with my money.
