Divinity Rising: All Part of the Show -

Gary Quick reviews Vintage

Vixens give electrifying performance and Divinity Rose proves you don’t have to be a size zero to be sexy – Louisville.com article

I would love to start this newsleter with “As Va Va Vintage winds down,the deubt of my original show Doomsday Lover gears up”, but Va Va Vintage is not winding  down yet!

Here is a video teaser of Va Va Vintage – Last chance to see it is this weekend!Reserve your tickets online ahead of time so you don’t miss it when it sells out (last Saturday’s show had a line at the door for over an hour! – arrive before 7!)

Here is a great review by Sarah Hinds on Louisville.com

and

Here is the write – up  on the front page of the features section in the Courier Journal

ZOMBIES AND SHOWGIRLS

And I can’t make all of you wait until Va Va Valentine for a group climax! It’s the best part of any story!

What better time than the new year to celebrate life, death and rebirth! I will be leading a life revolution in a post apocalyptic world on January 8th in the debut of my sexy and hilarious show “Doomsday Lover” featuring some of Louisville’s favorite female vocalists, zombies,  a zombie fashion show, the Vixens and original music by myself, Jaime Duvall, Al Holbrook, Mike Nusser.  With much of the burlesque tongue in cheek humor, audience interaction,  and beautiful ladies,  you’ll fall in love with being a part of this show. . If you’re living in a world where you feel surrounded by zombies, how can you be the best lover possible and rise above it all to the world of the living?

In this current crumbling world, this play is delivered right on time!

You don’t want to miss this show. Coming in costume (zombies, survivors, showgirls) is encouraged and will get you $2 off the ticket price of $20.

And if you can’t wait until January 8, come see me and the Vixens on December 8 at Howl at the Moon for “You can’t do that on Piano” Winter Wonderland and Rummage sale. Bring NICE items you don’t want or use anymore  to put on the “Free store” table on the patio so some “free” Christmas shoppin’ can occur.

And if you can’t wait that long, then come  hang out with me on Mondays for Sub Rosa the Gypsie Courtyard It’s the wildest variety show in town and I’ve been hosting it for about two and a half years now. Different performances every week, comraderie, and lots of Love to go ’round in a smaller and more intimate setting.

As we enter a time of Thanksgiving, I have to take a moment to say just how grateful I am for each of you and the love, respect and support you offer. Following one’s heart and dreams and the voice of Divinity Rising within is not easy, but I still feel eternally blessed every time I hear from one of you. I only hope that I can encourage and motivate each of you and inspire you in your dreams as much as you do in mine. Thank you. May each of you find something in your lives to revel in gratitude over this week. If you find it hard, remember, the world pours back upon you ten times what you give. So my focus this week is thinking about giving and gratitude <3

Dream well, dream deep and may all paths lead you back to the heart….

Love, Light and Blessings to send you through your dreams.

Your Doomsday Lover,

Divinity Rose

There are also shows the following two Friday and Saturdays. Don’t miss it! Get your tickets ahead of time, they are close to selling out!

With just a few days until the opening of Va Va Vintage, I came down with a nasty respiratory infection. I am so grateful to everyone who shared all the home remedies, tips and tricks and health advice.

One of the most interesting was to put vapor rub on your feet and cover it with socks.  It turns out that our feet are the most porous parts of our body. Another friend said that if you rub garlic on your feet, you will taste garlic by morning. I will definitely be spraying disinfectant in my shoes from now on. Just think of all the nastiness our bodies absorb through our feet!

Thinking about that made me think about how our consciousness/souls are always recording. I think our minds are actually the most porous part of our boies. Our senses are constantly recording and everything we take in from the stimuli around us become a part of what we are. That means we have to be careful about what we surround ourselves with! Are we in a toxic or healing environment?

I have to say I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the environment while preparing for the VA VA Vixens show. The entire cast is so wonderful, and living in the country has really been great for me in downtime.

I am excited about the opening of VA VA Vintage on Saturday! I am so in love with my “Jessica Rabbitesque” dress!  We did the tech rehearsal and run-through last night and it was awesome! Some of the acts are so amazing! I’m so honored to be a part of it all. I can’t wait for you to all see it. I hope you get your tickets before they sell out…

Pick up a copy of the Courier Journal tomorrow, and the spread in the LEO.

Opening night is Saturday! Don’t miss it!

Read about the burlesque Divinity Rose wrote/emceed and an interview with her

Well, fall is here. I love fall but it also usually sets a push into motion to start clearing out a bunch of stuff that won’t fit the next cycle of  life and rushing through a lot of change  to make way for new stuff before the new year starts.

I know a lot of you are feeling some major shifts in your life right now, too, and I hope you’ll remember that earthquakes always expose our weaknesses so we can move on towards our dreams in a way that is stronger.  The key is to stay focused and be willing to see what areas are being shown to us. If we are willing to see them, we can move on and not deal with the same major cracks again. The nasty little demons we carry with us are what hold us back from being the awesome shining lights we naturally are.  The quickest way to get a demon off your back is to be willing to see it’s there.

I suppose the biggest news I need to address in this newsletter is that I’ve just finished moving . I moved to an awesome little ranch about an hour and a half outside of Louisville.  I’ve had a ton of emails asking where and why, so I’ll answer here.  It’s a small town  between E-town and Leitchfield.  I’m going to be retreating so that I can develop my solo show over the winter and be ready with a show I can tour with by mid-summer.  I’m really excited at the show and team of people that are coming together to make this happen.  I’ll be spending a fair amount of time in Nashville each month as well to do some recording in preparation for that and some small appearances. I also hope to be able to lay out some plans for some evolutions for Sub Rosa. Louisville Sub Rosa is now at Zazoo’s every Monday, starting at a new and earlier 7 p.m. We made this change to accommodate all the people who wished they could come but couldn’t justify staying out so late on a weeknight.

Yes, I will still be hosting Sub Rosa in Louisville on Mondays as long as there is support and a desire for it, although I may occasionally have a guest host. It continues to be important for us to all have a place to connect to each other and support each other, so as long as we are able to connect at Sub Rosa, I will come to town for it or do what I can to  make sure it stays alive.

I also still have monthly shows at Howl at the Moon on Fourth St. Live! They are such an awesome group to work with and really know how to throw a party. They are worthy visiting on a weekend!   This month is November 17 (Wednesday). Get ready for Turkey Bowling with the Vixens in addition to the “You can’t do that on piano” contest.   I hope to see you all there. I have had so much fun with all of you at these shows! I’ve been amazed at the couple hundred that come out to enjoy the buffet, cheap drinks, and pretty girlies.  Let me know if you need tickets to get in for free.

After November, we will be moving our night at Howl at the Moon and “You can’t do that on piano” to the second Wednesday of each month. That means Dec 8, Jan 12, and Feb 9

Speaking of Howl at the Moon, I had an awesome birthday Monster Ball there on the 20th! I absolutely loved giving everyone a bit of tail my Medusa costume by Christiane Nicoulin and hair by my beautiful and only stylist Lee Ann Cooper ( of Younique Salon)…My tail was about four feet long with a rattle at the end, and the cat chased it when I got home and walked through the door!  We had a great turn out with a couple hundred people, and there were some really awesome giveaways!

Since I’ve been too busy to post in the last couple weeks, I’ve got more to share with you:

I’m ecstatic I got to be a part of the Halloween parade with the Va Va Vixens, and I am really looking forward to our burlesque show next month. I’ve  finished the script and can’t help but giggle at the naughty humor. I’ve been busy with rehearsals with the other vocalists, I’ll be singing with.   My costume for the show is a very bright and sparkly “Jessica Rabbit” dress. I can’t wait for you all to see it! I am having so much fun with this show!!!

The Shows are running November 13, 20,21, 26,27. You can buy tickets at the Alley Theater  website.  Also, check out this article with some history on burlesque and vaudeville and the Va Va Vixens.

Also, Don Smith over at Investcomics.com interviewed me and wrote a review of Diaries of a Godling. Check it out here!

I also got to do a special guest appearance and performance at a Beetlegeuse themed show.

Here are some photos from the last few weeks

I have more photos and video to share with you, but it will have to wait until I am home and near my external hard drive.  Until then,

Love, Light and Blessings to send you through your dream

xoxo
