One of the supreme forces behind Los Angles burlesque, sideshow, and cosplay is Vita DeVoid who gives us a glimpse behind the grasepaint and feathers to discuss the origins and futures of such a denizen. Escaping smalltown Florida, Vita would shock and amaze as a chameleon, insisting on being the deserved center of attention, garnering legendary monsterman Doug Jones' attention, jamming nails into her face, paying homage to Lucille Ball, and getting retweets from the band Ghost.
