I can't stop thinking about the perfection of this presentation. The two French photographers I sat next to were excitedly talking away the whole time. They loved it too, as did our audience. The fashion is stand-out design, so functional as shown by many types of dance illustrated wearing the lovely dresses.  SPECTACULAR! I found another video fashion show by Lola Grayce a few days before VIVA but this one is narrated, how fun. Your ad here, right now: $0

Frankie Tease sat down to talk with one of Portland, Oregon's favorite visiting Burlesque performers. Topics include: Honolulu, how a life-long ballerina started doing Burlesque, and what does Portland have to do with Honolulu anyway? Frankie- How long have you been a resident of Honolulu? Violetta- I was born and raised in Hawaii! I'm Native Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, European and Native American, which I think is a great representation of Hawaii's unique cultural strata. I love my island home and the "aloha spirit" that resides here! Frankie- That's beautiful. In Honalulu you are a burlesque performer and producer am I correct? Violetta- I consider myself a performer more than anything, I've helped to produce shows but usually do so as a choreographer and costumer. I'm thinking about beginning to produce on a limited basis though. Frankie- You are an amazing performer that is always well recieved in Portland for your unique choreograph
