Miss Spent Youth is a glamorous vixen in Los Angeles County, performing with Babylon Cabaret, a sing and strip revue. A model, and dancer, and a breathy talker-in-rhythm... doer, Miss Spent Youth--a mentoree of Hollywood's Lili VonSchtupp--has charmed audiences for seven years. She has taken on the exciting new task as producer of The Hollywood Burlesque Festival (applications open as of this recording), which hits the stage in March of 2023. With all this going, somehow she found time to talk about all of these productions, her journey from pinup to dancer, and her dedication to the field. (recorded 8/30/2022)
