Help Dollipop get to Europe!

Donation protected
Who is Dollipop and why is she going to Europe?

I am a mom of two, and a burlesque performer with the The Cheesecake Burlesque Revue. We are a cheeky bunch of women of all ages, shapes and sizes from Victoria BC, who have been presenting fun, flirty and exceptionally sparkly burlesque shows since 2006. Our troupe has performed throughout Vancouver Island and the rest of BC, bringing our unique brand of body confidence and positivity to audiences from Prince Rupert to Golden! We have been invited to perform in Seattle, San Francisco, New Orleans, New York, and Las Vegas! Here is a video of me showing my musical side in "Sax a Peel" and a video of our "Umbrella" extravaganza!

I've been with the troupe since shortly after it began, my first performance was Halloween 2006 and what an amazing wild ride it has been! Now 6 of us want to embark on an epic European Tour, and I'm hoping you can all help me get there! Here's why I need your help: You see, I am one of the only Cheesecakes who is a mom. I'm also a single mom, which makes my finances more than a little tight. Kids are amazing, but also extremely expensive. My handsome and brilliant son is an aspiring baseball player, so my focus has been on him for the past several years. I have enjoyed every moment of watching him grow as a player and cheering at his games. The only downside, is that I have not had the opportunity to go on any of these wonderful trips with the Cheesecakes because I simply haven't been able to afford it.

But this trip is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and a dream come true for me. I definitely do not want to miss it, I have been working my buns off all year to help me get there! We have been invited to perform our group number "Umbrella" in the Stockholm Burlesque festival, also, we have applied and hope to be accepted into the Rome Burlesque Festival, and will mount a full Cheesecake show at the Gin Palace Cabaret for Halloween in Berlin.

I have a good chunk of money saved up from my tax return, teaching piano lessons every week, returning bottles and cans, fundraising performances, and garage sales, but I am still short of my goal. Crowd funding is a fantastic opportunity for me to ask my friends and family for help. It's time for me to feed this starving artist and do something one can only dream about!  Even a small donation will make a huge difference, if all of my family and friends contribute a little gift, it could help me make this dream a reality! I would be ever so grateful, please donate today!
