I am currently in a long term monogamous relationship.

Ukulele is the easiest instrument. I'm surprised they don't teach that instead of the recorder in elementary schools.
I have two ukuleles, Marilyn & Marlene. Marilyn is a Lanikai that I bought in Philly because Marlene is a very nice ukulele & I don't want her to get messed up. Marlene is an 80-some year old Sam F Chang from Hawaii, and she does NOT like temperature changes.

About certain things, yes, my BPD gives me a lot of feelings. Fundamentally, though, minus the disorder, I am fairly straightforward. I am critical and try not to take things the wrong way, but the toddler that lives in my frontal lobes shuts that down right quick.

I have a photoshoot planned with Ophidian of Chikara Pro Wrestling, but it will not be nude or suggestive in the slightest. He is a G-rated snake.

You can by the brand I used online. Search for Pravana Chromasilk Vivids.

Music or burlesque?

My favorite song to sing live right now is White Rabbit, my favorite song I've written that I enjoy singing live is Church of Monroe.

My favorite songs to do burlesque to are probably Egyptian Fantasy by Ronnie Magri, Real Gone by Sil Austin, and Habanera by Micaela Haley. I'm always looking for new music, though, and I'm starting to get sick of my standards...

I prefer it to ingesting my food via an apparatus of medical tubes, that's for sure!

I was 18 when I started performing burlesque, but I was 16 when I started studying it. I waited until I was old enough to strip legally before I started performing!

Katherine. My middle name is Hayley and is what I've gone by since I was about 8. No one calls me Katherine, and I prefer it that way.

He likes horror movies & tolerates my crazy & has Mortal Kombat tattoos.

I know I am very lucky to have amazing family, friends, & fans, but I wish I didn't have to mooch off of my friends & family & be able to stay afloat somewhat on my own. If anything, it makes me feel unworthy of having such kind & giving folks in my life to have to keep asking for help.

Girls I know make anywhere from 50-500 a night. I'd rather not discuss where I lie on that scale.

Both of my albums were recorded on Reaper, and all the demos are recorded using GarageBand.

I'm both pleased is resonates with you and disheartened that you have felt that way...it's a terrible thing to feel.

Thanks.

If you'd like to discuss this further, please email me hj@hayleyjane.com.

I'm sure you'll shrug this off and be like "she's making excuses, she doesn't see what she's doing to herself, etc etc etc" because I've given you enough information that you can come to those conclusions. I told you I'm messed up. I told you I'm a stripper. You made the obvious and oft-assumed connection that the girl in the club must be there because she feels the need to validate herself or make up for her faulty self esteem or because her parents didn't love her or because she was abused or whatever reason you decided to ask this question.

I LOVE my job. I love my club, I love my fellow dancers, and I can shrug off the bullshit at the end of my shift. I can take off the makeup, pack up my sparkly underthings, and call it a day. Not everyone can, but I can. I don't get any more personal comments or criticisms or just...bullshit in the club than I do here online- in fact, it's my online work that is probably more psychologically damaging, because people like you can paint me in broad strokes without having to show their faces.

You can ask me and say whatever you want and I can't look you in the eye and tell you "no." I can ignore it, but then I'm a coward for not responding. I can respond, but then I'm giving into pressures. Anyone can say whatever they want to me about my body or my brain or my music or my whatever and they don't even have to raise their hands so I can see them in the crowd.

I had a relapse when cycling for a personal reason completely unrelated to my career choice [those looking for more information can listen to "So Pretty When You're Mean" and "Domestic Rhapsody"] and probably shouldn't have said anything about it, but I did. I can't take it back, and I'm not one to be quiet about my weird little fucked up world. I want you to know why I make the art that I do.

Whooooaaaa, what? No way! I'm just saying twigs like me are prime abuse material. Anyone can be sexually abused or harassed, regardless of gender, size, race, etc.

I think you're referring to the dichroic glass tree of life pendant in a lot of my faerie pictures. My mother got it for me at the last Spoutwood Farms Fairie Festival we went to together, the year I graduated highschool. It's perhaps my favorite piece of jewelry. I love dichroic glass, more than any stone or jewel, it has much more visual depth, & the pendant is both in my mother's & my favorite color way.
