Hello,
My name is Rachel and I have been a burlesque performer for about five years now, but I find myself revelling more in the fact that I have been a successful burlesque promoter for over four years now. Why you ask?
The answer is simple, I am afraid of the lime-light, lacking in confidence and unable to dance.
Now, WHAT would Deadly Nightshade have to say about THAT?
She would bitch-slap me to the other side of the earth for darkening her name with such slander! She loves the lime-light, ooozes with confidence and can dance to any beat - but I struggle to bring Nightshade to the fore-front sometimes!

Promoting has always allowed me to hide behind the scenes or to only perform in an atmosphere where I feel the most comfortable and recently I find myself embarking upon successes. These successes have been achieved by Rachel, but I think Deadly has had a lot to do with them too.
After my recent achievements, I now find myself being blessed with the ability to teach my art to others and this got me thinking - if I am able to tutor young women in how to be more confident, then surely I must now have some?
Deadly Nightshade has somehow, secretly, sneakily, slowly and seductively crept out into Rachel's personality, or maybe she was always there to begin with?
