Worlds Collide Circa 2012 BizBash Tradeshow for LaRouge Entertainment. In this photo we have a quint of Power House Performers gone Fitness: Rachelle (LaRouge Lady), MJ (CanCan Dancer), Andrea (Showgirl) and Celeste (Flapper). Jamie is taking the photo, but she's here, likely in a unitard of some sort❤️.
LaRouge Entertainment was a corporate entertainment company that Jamie Holmes and I created and ran for 10 years! We did SO MANY amazing gigs and shows. It was pretty spectacular, actually. But, in the words of Kenny Rogers, we knew when to fold em. Another industry crushed by the pandemic...
What's incredible are the serendipitous lines: Jamie now owns and runs , Andrea co-owns , Rachelle and I rock (this event was actually the first time I hired her?!) and Celina teaches for 💥
When I found this photo it made me realize that the Gig Worker really does float between industries, using their talents and drive to shift and pivot when needed.
All of these costumes are still stored in a Costume shed (along with about 500 others) in my backyard, should you feel like playing dress-up.
