The Belljar

here is a taste of my recent show at The Belljar Cafe, shot by my lovely friend Melissa! the night was a great dynamic of friends, a really nice vibe with us ladies performing, full of positive feedback, my complete and utter personal radiance and a decent (though not my best run through) performance which made it an amazing and lovely evening. thanks to all of you who came out!
