Foxy resides in "The Twin Titties" and has been gallivanting about the world peeling and pontificating as one of the hardest working traveling showgirls in burlesque! When she is at home, The Fox produces 3 different shows, reigns as the “Queen of Summer,” emcees multiple annual block parties, makes the famous HardCore Pasties, builds theatrical drapes, designs her own costumes and works on the never ending project that she calls home.
