Now, Ginger Snaps, also known as 36-year-old Wendy Sanders, combines her variety shows with aerial skills – creating an unmissable spectacle, her flame-colored hair flowing as she spins from the ceiling, at A hoop, underwear.
Ms. Jiang, who started her performance nine years ago in Austin, Texas, decided to show that the big girl can be super sexy. She said: “When I first became a big-name performer, I did get some rejection of the actors. People, I said they are because of the audience’s needs, but I know that people like to see me on the stage.”
She added: “In the past two years, I have won the best burlesque performers in Austin, so this shows that people really want to see me.
“I want to encourage more people to accept burlesque because it is completely liberating. You just need to get rid of fear.
“As far as I am concerned, if someone tells me that I can’t do something, it will only make me pull it down more firmly.”
Jiang, 34, lives with her software development partner Joe Langeway, who wants to know that after being often mistaken for another performer, he will find burlesque.
She smiled and said: “I am not sure who thinks who I am, but it has appeared a lot, so I must have a similarity.
“As a result, I watched the burlesque online because I didn’t know much about it. I realized I should give it a try!”
She added: “When I was in college, I started a dance class and I started to participate in the Rocky Horror class, so this kind of thing seems to be a natural transition.”

She said: “I played burlesque for the first time. I like it very much. I look back at it now because I wear a lot of clothes. As I gain more experience, I also gained more confidence.”
Moving in theatrical circle also causes Ginger to learn additional skills that are often associated with large and small performers.
She went on to say: “I have done some shows with aerial trappers, when my boyfriend was working on their website.
“He eventually got a lot of free credits for the course, but he didn’t want to use them. I decided I would do it myself, although I was very bad at the last class and it took me about seven months before I managed to do anything. inverted.”
Formerly a full-time wig and makeup artist, it has now become the back seat of comics and aviation art, which has become her main occupation.
“When I got into this, I was doing a wig and makeup artist – I still have some work -” Jiang explained.
“Now I also teach antics and lyra, an aviation art, and as a performance manager and make my own shows and festivals. Last weekend, I even organized the first big funny festival.”
