AMELIE
Everybody has a secret.
And mine?
A hidden life as a sexy burlesque dancer, where my inhibitions disappear
and sensuality drips from every pore.
Amelie Swanson would never perform at a strip club. She’s too shy, selfconscious… too good. But Velvet Venus? She’s a bad girl, a dangerous
woman. Confident and sultry, she thrives on teasing men.
To a point.
I don’t strip to nothing, even that’s too wild for my alter ego, but
burlesque is all about the mystery—revealing bits and pieces of bare skin to
drive the audience to distraction. The art of it has fascinated me ever since
watching the movie Burlesque and desperately wishing to be Christina
Aguilera’s character.
A woman who escapes her small town for the big city and finds her
dream job.
And while this isn’t exactly my dream job, it’s a side hustle that brings
me happiness, combining my love of dance and desire to be seen.
Because men never salivate over chubby little Amelie. I’m overlooked or
ignored. However, Velvet Venus never enters a room without drawing every
eye to her lush curves and coy smile.
It’s an intoxicating feeling.
The beginning strains of “Desperado” by Rihanna swell from the stage,
and that’s my cue. Sauntering into the spotlight, I exaggerate the sway of
my hips and offer a little shimmy of my chest to the crowd of men gathered
around the edges of the raised platform. Reveling in the freedom of the next
four minutes.
As my song fades out, I take one last bow, shaking my glitter-fringed boy
shorts and bra, having lost the layers of clothing I started with. Raucous
applause erupts as some men shout for me to take it all off. Leaving them
with a saucy wink, I ignore their pleas and skip backstage where the next
woman is preparing to step out.
“You were great out there!” Luxe says, grinning in anticipation of her
own set.
“Thank you! They’re all yours.”
The path to a communal dressing room is clogged with racks of sparkling
costumes, stagehands, and more performers. It’s a real production for Club
Wolf’s Burlesque Night, a weekly show for men and women alike.
Every other evening men can watch the regular exotic dancers strip bare,
but not tonight. This is a specialty event created by Georgia, one of the comanagers of the club. She runs it with a member of the Reaper’s Wolves
MC—the motorcycle club that owns Club Wolf.
Which means my hidden hobby sits precariously close to being
discovered now that friends of mine are loved-up with Reaper’s Wolves
members. But I couldn’t resist the temptation of trying burlesque when they
first announced the weekly event.
There is freedom in having this one thing for myself.
Not that I don’t trust my friends or believe they’ll support me because
they one-hundred percent will. But keeping my secret means there’s no
pressure to act a certain way—to be Amelie versus Venus.
They’re two sides of the same person but only one gets to see the light of
day.
