I fell in love with Swing and Big Band Music back in 2005/2006  when I started to take Swing Dance classes. This led me to classes at the Verdi Club in the Potrero Hill Area. I highly recommend going on Tuesdays. Anyway, I started to go to their Christmas Parties and that's where I saw Burlesque for the first time. Funny enough I didn't realize that it was Bombshell Betty(who would later be my Burlesque Teacher ) that I saw dancing in front of me. Later on a friend and I decided we wanted to take classes. I took classes for almost two years.

Being a part of Bombshell Betty's Burlesqueteers was a great part of my Burlesque journey. It is where I started and I am very proud of how far I've come. I am now a Solo Burlesque Artist and performing throughout the Bay Area. I've done shows for Hubba Hubba Revue, Red Hots Burlesque, and Barbary Coat Burlesque just to name a few. I hope to continue to work with them and well as many more.

It's important to have supportive loved ones(friends, family and lovers) in your life and in the beginning when I was green I made so many friends who were fabulous and so supportive and helpful. It's been great having a supportive sister,who's a belly dancer, and a wonderful boyfriend (and actor) who comes to many of my shows. I love being around so many artistic people.

So how did I get that name?

My name was born after I took my baby steps towards my first solo . On August 18th, 2007, I was going to do my first solo. I didn't have a name so I went as Miss. Anxie-Tease. I did my Like a Virgin solo and it went great but my second number was a gift for my boyfriend Shay. It was his birthday and so I came out with confetti, streamer, and balloons all glued to my panties and bra. The topper to the Birthday song was my candle pasties. I lite them and Chi Chis DelFuego was born.  

I think after about 8 months I decided that I'd throw my bra in the wind and go all the way, strap on the pasties,lashes, gloves and Boa and start out as a soloist.

Chi Chis DelFuego is very Melodramatic, Sexy, Campy, Cheesy, festive and fun. If anything I've found a place where I feel I can be myself. Funny, since we all use fake names. I never got into the Club scene and I never understood the"Kids these days," even when I was one of them. I was always a bit retro. I still live in the 80's sometimes. I love Rock AND Roll, Swing, Blue and everything related. And getting to do Pin Up work had fulfilled a starlet dream of mine. I've always wanted to see myself in the same light as Rita Hayworth and Ava Gardner. But I found something even better in finding my inner me. I highly recommend taking Burlesque and Pin Up classes for any lady. It's a great confidence builder.

Burlesque has been a great avenue for me to explore myself and find the sparkle within us all. I was always a bit bawdy, naughty and loud. No one really got me and I never fit in before. I was never one to be a carbon copy of everyone else. I never wanted to follow what others told me I had to do. So Burlesque really was the place I fit it best. I love my second home. I've met some really great people I love working with.

Nothings been the same since. I'm loving Life and meeting so many in my wonderful family of Burlesque.
