Queerlesque Cutie

I'm Shelby Mine: "The Queerlesque Cutie." I'm one half of the gender-bending burlesque duet, Queertini Time. These are images and ideas that inspire my burlesque performance, excite my queer brain, and make my heart happy!

I had hoped to see more burlesque and drag artifacts at the @ransomcenter’s vaudeville exhibition, but these were very cool! Gorgeous autographed photo of Gypsy Rose Lee, photo of Ethel Waters in “Rhapsody in Black,” and photos of a drag king and queen unknown to me! Show is on view through July 15. #vaudeville #burlesque #drag #dragking #dragqueen #gypsyroselee #ethelwaters (at Harry Ransom Center)

Texas Burlesque Festival 2018 was awesome! We me so many nice folks, experience outstanding performances, spent time with our ATX burly family and even brought home the title of Most Original!

Can’t wait for Texas Burlesque Festival this weekend! Queertini Time is bringing a revamped version of our very first burlesque duet (debuted in 2009!) to the Paramount stage. This amazing painting by @cholamagnolia was inspired by the number. I commissioned it as an anniversary present to Eaton several years ago and Chola totally delivered! ❤️❤️ #burlesque #queerlesque #queertinitime #austinburlesque #austinburlesquealliance #cholamagnolia #painting #visualart #txbf #txbf2018
