News Post: Millie Dollar, Dancing to the Beat


Above: A picture from Millie's Myspace. If you've spent any time backstage with me, you know I love a girl with corset lines!

'The Australian-born 22-year-old grew up in Glasgow struggling with hearing problems. It affected her speech and ability to understand people, but boy can she dance....

' Being a burlesque performer is all about the music and moving with its beat and rhythm, which is a huge challenge for someone with a degenerative hearing loss.

' "As long as it's loud enough, I'm fine," said Millie. "I memorise my music as much as I can, but there have been times I've missed my cues because it was too low. It will get worse with age so I'm going to keep performing as long as I can." '

Millie. xx
At least half the articles I'm in have some factual errors in them! There's nothing like having a misquote become part of history.

I DO like corset lines. There are tons of pix with me with corset lines. I especially like corset lines from the criss-cross across the back.

Some people go to a lot of trouble to not have corset lines, or to make sure their corset meets in the back so there are no lacing lines. I think that's cool too, but I really think seeing the corset come off to show the marks of compression is awesome--as a reveal, I really love it.

When people have bondage in their acts, I also enjoy the look the rope leaves when it comes off. So I suppose I'm a bit of a perv.

She doesn't know what she's talking about. When the only tool someone knows how to wield is a hammer, they think everything's a nail.
