Get ready to shake your bon-bon and feel the heat with this weeks guest! The Crowned Jewel of Puerto Rico, Marie La'Pearl (she/her) is on and we have such a lively & engaging conversation. Marie shares with us how she got into burlesque and how she proudly & boldly embraces her Puerto Rican heritage in this art form. Marie also discusses her journey as she connects and explores her Taino roots which are serving as inspiration for a new act. Of course in typical Girl with the Big Blue Hair fashion, a discussion of spirituality/ex-evangelicalism/purity culture/religious upbringing arises and we both talk about how that has shaped us. We also talk about our love for Ricky Martin, Mark Anthony, and Garth Brooks. ¡viva la puerto rico!
