RESUME / CV
Diamondback Annie stage-diving during a burlesque performance. The stage was so high she fainted as she fell backwards, & awoke in the back of the room, still crowd-surfing. Her music was still on, so she swam back to the stage to finish the act. Photo taken at the Rock & Roll Stripshow by Dan Hendricks.
