1. What is your name, how did you come up with it and what do you do?
My name is Ursula Undress...I am a burlesque performer, producer, and instructor. My name is something that sort of rolled around in my head when I first started performing...but Ursula was born on stage when I performed at an Unknown Hinson show....
2. What do you say to people who think your in the sex business?
Well, I perform what is considered to be the original art of the striptease, which has morphed and changed over time to what it is in strip clubs today - and both have a unique sexual energy behind them, so technically, I am in the sex industry. The intent behind what I do is meant to be entertainment first, and sexual second - if that makes sense. Sometimes it is meant to be funny, or thought provoking...yet there is always an aspect of sexuality in there because, well, I AM taking my clothes off - regardless of what is actually shown.
3. What turns you on?
Wit...smart and funny are the perfect combination. I also love interesting and dynamic people...oh, and I have a fetish for nice hands and men in well-tailored suits!
4. What do you like best about what you do?
I like the constant creativity that comes along with performing....and with teaching, I like the challenge of coming up with new choreography and showing ALL women that they have this red hot light inside them somewhere - and that it can be turned on no matter what age, shape, or time of life they are in.
5. What turns you off?
Ignorance, liars, small minds, overblown egos, doormats, men who don't see past the physical attributes of women (I haven't encountered women who do this, but I am sure it isn't limited to men - just my experience)....heh....sad that I have such a long list...I could go on, and on.
6. What are the big plans coming up for your act?
I have changed a lot of what i do over the past year...I think the big changes are that I AM growing and changing as a performer and no longer limiting my music choices or trying to rein in my sexuality on stage - I used to hold back a lot, and it made me a mediocre performer.
7. Is it true you've been banned in several European countries?
Just the Catholic-heavy ones....heheh!
8. Did you ever watch me on the Muppet Show or in the movies?
I did (I am older than I look)! I actually have a high school friend who used to call herself 'Dr. Teeth' after she had her smile corrected. She is awesome, so I definitely have a soft spot for you.
9. Was I your favorite muppet?
Oh honey, do I seem like the kind of girl who limits her choices to just one?
10. During the whole Elmo scandal last year I really rethought my life's purpose.
What is the purpose of your life? Or life in general?
Not to sound too "Oprah" or anything, but I think growing and becoming who you are supposed to be....to always strive to become the best you that you can be. Yep...that was definitely too "Oprah"...
11. What is the biggest misconception about what you do?
That I get sexually turned on while I perform - what we do is completely thought out, planned, timed, and hard work!
12 What is your favorite word?
Confection
13. What is your favorite color?
lately it is turquoise, but it changes....
14. A real man is......
Not afraid to communicate, someone who can admit his weaknesses, and knows when he is wrong
15. When making love I wish I was........
In an anti-gravity chamber
16. Do Pigs and Frogs really belong together?
Love is love, man...
17. Do you think I'm attractive?
Do YOU? That is the more important question...and the only person that really matters.
18. If not for Burlesque what would you be doing?
Hrm....I have a BFA....I would probably be doing more graphic design than I do now.
19. If someone asked you to pose topless, you'd......
Ask what I was posing for...
That could be fun! However, you should know that i don't often date men with so many roommates...
20. Wanna go out on a date with me. I got lots of cash and no morals?
Check out her performance here on YOUTUBE>

ReplyDeleteI would like her to see what people think of her.
Awesome interview with an awesome woman.She is drop dead gorgeous and cool as ice.I'm an instant fan and admirer.Thank you Dr Teeth for introducing us to a real beauty thru and thru.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds great! I love that we are here to discover who we are, I completely agree. I love that she is a confident woman who embraces her sexuality. I think what she does gives the power back to woman, making art from our sensuality...it is a beautiful thing!
