So I'm taking this 5-week class on burlesque. We've been encouraged to explore the idea of a burlesque name as part of building a character. I'm a bit stumped, I have to admit. I'm great at thinking of names, just not great at thinking of names for me. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tisana brought up the idea of those stripper name memes (take your first pet's name and the name of the street where you grew up, sort of thing). She suggested that MY pet's name would make a great burlesque name for me, slightly modified: Lucy Furr. Cute, definitely. There's a performer out there with that name already, alas! Not that I'll be performing burlesque, but I kind of want to be original. I thought of the name Venus Envy, but that sounds like it has to be used by one of those redhead-with-green-eyes chicks, and I totally couldn't pull it off. Anyway, I'm looking for input. Not names, necessarily, and not even by preference. Just words. Words to describe my aesthetic and personality. The only restriction is they have to work in a sexy context. They don't have to be sex-related words, but if you think I'm stupid, well, I'm not going to include anything to do with "stupid" in my name. If you are someone who thinks I have attractive qualities, listing some of the things you think are attractive about me wouldn't suck. Things that make me unique are good, too.
My name MUST have a pun of some sort. I have decided this. It's ME, after all. It wouldn't be RIGHT if it didn't have a pun. I will be able to handle that, I think.
I guess what I want to know is, what do people think of, when they think of me? What sorts of things could I pull off in a burlesque character? Inquiring minds want to know! And if anyone who was in the class tonight likewise wants some brainstorming suggestions from me, let me know!
