The time where Kitty Cavalier comes out of retirement for one more spin across the dance floor.
Kitty Cavalier is the burlesque persona I used to embody full time. As Kitty, I went from feeling awkward and afraid of my sensuality, to inhabiting an explosive kind of confidence, and I couldn't resist closing out 2021 with some of that special sauce.
