Shimmy LaRoux's Slow Burn

Shimmy LaRoux's Slow Burn

By Shimmy LaRoux

If there is one thing I've developed as a burlesque performer, it's an opinion (that and audacity). So what better way to share my thoughts than with a podcast?

Slow Burn is a podcast with the thoughts, musings, and tomfoolery from internationally award-winning showgirl and Playboy International Playmate Shimmy LaRoux!

I may use the art of the tease, but I won't make you wait!

EDITS: I forgot to include Gigi Holliday as a Burlesque historian and the space in Chicago is the 1901, not the 2901. Apologies, y'all.

Goals

My 3 part plan for setting goals

1. What have you done already? Did you hit your goals from last year? Why/Why not? Also, take some time to celebrate your wins and try not to be so hard on yourself for goals you didn't hit. 

2. What do you want to do...and WHY? Why is it important to add this as a goal? What do you want to get out of it? 

3. What are you going to DO to hit that go? Be as specific as possible 


Lather. Rinse. Repeat!
