I really hate summer, so I get super excited when fall starts to creep in. Naturally, the McSweeney's article "It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers" really resonates with me. In this number, I toss my pumpkin spice latte to the wind to worship at the altar of decorative gourds in my autumn leaf pasties. This act debuted at Magical Girl Burlesque's May 2018 New Review in the Mayday Space and has also been performed at a NYSB student showcase at DROM, Keep It Creative at The Keep, White Elephant Burlesque, and AVADA Kedavra Abracadabra at Freddy's Bar and Backroom. Video by Betty Brash. White Elephant photos by Kelli Blue; other photos are from various Instagram feeds.
Note that I've made some minor costume and choreography changes since the video.
