A little about Lola: She's celebrating her 10th burlesqiversary, which is adjacent to her human birthday! The day she graduated and had her student showcase performance, Talloolah Love sang Happy Birthday in her Marilyn Monroe style. Since then, she has gone on to headline and win awards all over the place, and anyone who sees her perform appreciates her energy and poise - and her sense of humor.
