This is a @gogo_mcgregor lookalike post - one of the enduring things in burlsque is getting misidentified as other performers, by audience members and other people in the industry. It’s now been 10years of getting mixed up with Gogo (happens less now that we’re not in nearly-monthly shows together), but if I gotta be called the wrong name, I’m happy that is hers 🤣 The vampy, all black look + black snood sealed the deal.

👸🏻A little #bts of how I spent my @viva.las.vegas.vlv weekend as the recently crowned Miss Hollywood Burlesque 2026! We packed *a lot* into the 4 days there, and I’m immensely grateful to have such wonderful friends and roommates with whom I shared the adventure!
Thank you to @annabelle_swell for being an except documentarian all weekend (and editing these clips together for me!) and to @thatvintagedame for giving us a theme of ‘Beyond the Sea’ for the pool party, and thus launching my unhinged outfit idea/deadline. Yes, I was literally sewing beaded appliqués onto my swimsuit while waiting for the Miss Viva Las Vegas Queen’s Competition show to start. 🙃

I’m back in New Orleans and hitting the stage this weekend for the first time as a reigning queeeennn!! 👑🌹 Tonight, I’ll be at @originalnitecap for Whiskey & Rhinestones - using the same song I won with at @hollywoodbqfest (@jonbatiste ’ St James Infirmary) EXCEPT I’m using a live recording which means I’ll get to actually slink around for *longer* than the studio recording 4:19 time 👏🏻 I do love a slowww burn!
Tomorrow, I’m hitting the road with the @bigdealburlesque crew to Shreveport - destination @fattyarbucklespub ! If you’re in Northern Louisiana- come find us for a grand time!
P.S. The Vintage Vegas Showgirl glitter palette from @dafna.beauty is SO GOOD!! The red “Lady Luck” layered on top of my staple @wetnwildbeauty ‘Missy & Fierce’ is a solid combo 👏🏻💋

VLV Day 2: Excellent coordination demonstrated on all parts, despite lack of sleep, work fatigue and social overstimulation. 👯♀️👯♀️ Love these girls! Day 3, bring it on! #vlv29 #vivalasvegasrockabillyweekend #barbiegirls #vintagegirls #vintagegirls
We had a great chat with our newly crowned Miss Hollywood @_hellinheels_ ! As a first time competitor she was stunned when she won be we weren’t surprised- who can resist a classic burlesque slow burn ?!? Not us ! We were all in awe! She gave us a peek into what she’s got coming up plus a hint or two a lot her upcoming stepdown!
If you are at @viva.las.vegas.vlv look out for Hellin and come say hi to @ms.spentyouth at @original_burlesque_bingo all week long !

What a weekend!! We cannot stop talking about the amazing showcase we got to be a part of Friday night at @hollywoodbqfest . Truly a variety show where every next act was as unique and talented as the last. We had a great time this weekend, and most importantly had a great time on stage with the amazing lighting, sound, production crew, and that gorgeous curtain! Thank you for having us, @ms.spentyouth ! 💕
