"I was working in a very prestigious company, and I'm only seventeen years old, making $99 every two weeks.  My first exposure to the business was at the invitation of one of the girls I worked with; she asked me to attend an amateur strip contest.

"I am a silly songstress who changes from sick, little girl to howler monkey. I am a voluptuous vaudeville vamp who writes punky cabaret songs that will stir your nethers and tickle your funny bone. I am a musical snackcake with a moist creamy center that will tantalize your tastebuds! I play  Sin Pan Alley's finest mischievous melodies in my ruffled drawers.

Miss Indigo Blue
Miss Indigo Blue
 
In 2001, Miss Indigo Blue attended her first Tease-o-rama, and the world of pasties hasn't been the same since! After taking a workshop by Bonnie Dunn, Amelia Ross-Gilson decided  that she, too, wanted to make pasties.  But she wanted to put a spin on it.  Literally.  Her goal was to make fancier, more glamorous pasties, and to perfect the construction of twirlable tassels....[read more]
