Episode 3: Synamin Vixen, Trained Professional Dancer, Sex/Sensuality Educator, Your Friendly Neighborhood Black Dominatrix
In our third episode, we talk with Synamin Vixen, a professionally trained dancer who taught dance for many years before stepping onto the burlesque stage. We learn about how Synamin carved out a space for herself in the burlesque scene in New Orleans and very soon after began producing her own shows and teaching burlesque, as well as how she and her partner, John collaborate as artists and as sex/fetish workers. In addition to her life onstage, Synamin walks us through how she has come to embrace her calling as a sex educator and how she is using her platform to create safe spaces, particularly for Black people, to explore BDSM, sensuality, and fetish. We also discuss how she got into making her own herbal tinctures for healing, what the heck a chakra is, what "phrasing" really means, and why Netflix's "Bonding" is a way healthier & more accurate representation of kink culture than "50 Shades of Gray." This episode was recorded on July 24, 2020 & is being released August 7, 2020.

Episode 2: Ariana Amour, Regent Unicorn of Burlesque, Trans Showgirl Icon, Lover of Buffalo Wings
In our second episode, we talk with Ariana Amour, award-winning, internationally travelled showgirl, barrier-breaking trans woman of color, and my right hand at The Society of Sin Burlesque & Variety. We learn about how Ariana got her start in nightlife by working behind the scenes at New Orleans' biggest gay nightclub, Oz, where she helped out with drag shows, did social media work, and coordinated events before she ever stepped onto the burlesque stage and how her transition and starting hormones lined up with her decisions to begin her stage career. In addition to her talents in the performing arts, Ariana is an accomplished astrologer and tarot practitioner, and we get to learn a little bit about astrology, what the heck a "sun sign" is & how astrology has changed over the years to become the beloved queer art form that it is today. In addition, Ariana discusses her feelings about the #BlackLivesMatter movement, transgender rights activism (f*ck JK Rowling), how to aspire to be an excellent ally to those fighting oppression in 2020, and much more! This episode was recorded on June 17, 2020 & is being released July 11, 2020.
