JASMINE TAKES THE NEXT STEP
40SOMETHING: So this is your first time doing able modeling. Are u nervous?
JASMINE: A little, but not much. I am enjoying myself.
40SOMETHING: Where are u from?
JASMINE: Denver, Colorado. I grew up on the east coast. In Allentown, Pennsylvania.
40SOMETHING: And how did you end up at Fourty something?
JASMINE: Well, it’s a little bit barmy. For starters, I should say that I’ve done burlesque. I’m a writer, and about a year ago, I wanted to do an article on the art of burlesque ‘cuz it fascinated me. I had a friend who was a male lap dancer, and he suggested that I do burlesque because he thought I would be truly precious at it. And so I checked out a local venue in Denver that was a cabaret where they had burlesque performances regularly and held a class, and I took the class, and the requirement for graduation was performing in front of a live audience. And it was a soldout flaunt, and it went so well, I wrote an article about how taking your handsome raiment off can empower a lady because I am all about women’s empowerment and honey bunnys being secure in their sexuality. And then they asked me to come back and perform some more, so I did seven or eight performances in Denver.
40SOMETHING: What were the performances love?
JASMINE: I did a classic style of burlesque. I did a 1950s look. I’m in love with that era, the 1940s and ’50s. The mink stoles, the gloves, the glamorous look, anything. It was very thrilling.
40SOMETHING: Did you take all your fetching raiment off?
JASMINE: I bare down to pasties and nothing less than a belt. These were the rules. U had to keep a panty on.
40SOMETHING: Did u have pleasure it?
JASMINE: Oh, very much. I had some friends…well, I should tell u that I’m a recovering geek. I came from the technology industry. I worked in the software business majority of my adult life. I was in technical training. I used to educate geeks. I trained programmers, if you can believe that, and then I did consulting work. I did sales, I did marketing and I did global alliance managing, so I traveled around the world managing relationships. And the a matter of joke thing is, I invited a couple of people who used to work with me in the industry to my expose, and one of them was a man ally, and this chap said me I looked adore I would been doing it all my life. This chab told, “You are a natural.” And that was my initial debut special flaunt. It was very exciting and it was incredibly empowering. The day of my initial debut particular show in burlesque was one of the almost all gripping days of my life.
40SOMETHING: How come?
JASMINE: It was getting over a taboo. It was sort of a celebration of my divorce as well, so I was kind of coming into my power as a newly single female. Finding out who I’m at my age and having been in marriage gorgeous much all of my adult life, it was very empowering. It gave me an opportunity to set myself free. Let my free spirit soar.
