When I asked Ayla why she loves performing and modeling, here’s what she said. Where does all this energy come from?Īnd she showed up not only with exactly the right clothes, but exactly the right hair and makeup. When I asked if she had any costumes that might work for a sci-fi shoot, she was immediately enthusiastic. She conducts her troop with loving kind professionalism. Her co-performers all look to her for guidance and assistance and if any dissension or disgruntlement is ever expressed, it has not been around me. She gives special personal attention to each person she talks with and everyone loves and admires Ayla. She helps choreograph the dance numbers, recruits and trains new members, trains additional helpers, contracts the theater, hires the lighting and music people and… whew! I’m getting tired typing all this.Īnd yet, at each show I have also seen her ready before everyone else, and out front greeting people at the ticket counter as they come in.

As director of a small troop she does almost everything. I have photographed two of her Burlesque troop’s shows and attended several practices. As a stage performer she has several aliases and as a dancer and actress she takes on even more roles.Īnd for my camera she was Leeloo from the 5th Element. Ayla is a massage therapist by day and a Burlesque performer by evening.
