Firstly, congratulations! You absolutely slayed it, and your theme was (once again) very unique! Tell us why you chose the theme you did, and was it a difficult decision compared to your other theme options?
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was such a fun theme to play with! It was a great way to bring a whimsical and fun set to the stage. Once I started brainstorming this concept, the creativity and ideas kept growing. I knew I had to do it!
Thinking of the time during your actual performance, what do you remember thinking about or feeling while on stage?
I remember feeling focused and nervous when I first started, thinking that I wanted everything to go smoothly. As I moved through the motions, I felt so happy to be up on that stage, having a blast and performing my all! I was smiling the whole time—it was incredible.
This issue marks your third Exotic cover! The list of performers that have been featured on three Exotic covers is very short, and even more exclusively, you have now won both of our contests—Polerotica and Miss Exotic Oregon. We know from past experience that you’re beyond humble, but let all of that truly sink in for a moment...and then tell us how you feel (hint: we demand some self-congratulations and mild gloating).
I am PUMPED! I am so high off of these experiences and the support and love I have from my friends. The encouragement I get from them is out of this world. I know I can accomplish so much with them by my side, now I am ready for the next challenge!
Describe your other experiences competing in our events (winning or not) and how they shaped your preparations for Miss Exotic Oregon 2024.
My first time competing in an Exotic contest was for Miss Exotic 2022. I did a Kill Bill set for my prelims but did not make it into the finals. This experience showed me that I needed to step up my crowd entertainment and keep them on their toes!
When I went for Polerotica 2023 next, I made sure to have multiple surprises to keep the audience from being able to look away! Winning Polerotica was unreal, and I knew I had to try to go even bigger for Miss Exotic!
We always like to ask these next two questions! What advice would you offer to other performers who are looking to win it all at an Exotic event?
My advice would be to bring everything you’ve got! This opportunity allows you to put on your own show however you want, so have fun with it! Be creative and play to your best skills!
If you could travel back in time and talk to baby stripper Venus, what advice would you offer?
I’d tell her to enjoy the journey and keep doing the things that make her happy; good things will follow.
What if our readers are interested in seeing you perform? Where can they catch you on shift? Drop your socials, too!
You can find me at Devils Point most Friday nights! I also go-go dance at Dante’s for the Wasted Yuth once a month!
You can find me posting schedule info on Instagram @agoddessonamountaintop.
Switching gears for a moment, tell us all about some of your future aspirations, industry-related or otherwise...
This last year, I was able to perform multiple aerial acrobatic performances! I train at least once a week with the amazing Rebecca Palmer. She teaches me intense contortion and aerial lessons. I hope to continue to grow in the circus world, become a professional aerial acrobat, and share my weird talents with the world!
Lastly, what consumes your time when you’re not killing it on the pole or otherwise kicking ass in the industry?
Half of my year is primarily consumed with women’s tackle football. I play as a wide receiver for the Oregon Ravens in a national league called the WNFC. I am entering my third year of playing football, and I love it so much! We travel and play other teams out of state but have local home games, too! Our home games are at Milwaukie High School and will start in April! You can follow my team on Instagram at @oregonravens.
