Talking with Susanna Lee, aka Lucky Deluxe, about Los Angeles, hustling, and the Kansas City Burlesque Festival

Maybe you picked up a copy of The Pitch this week and noticed that the Filter section was all about the ladies? There’s a women’s MMA, Daisy Bucket, Russian ballerinas, and Gina and Tanya. Yes. Meow.

Which brings us to Susanna Lee, the burlesque comedian, also known as Lucky DeLuxe. Lee recently moved out to Los Angeles from KC, and she very graciously accepted my request for an e-mail interview. Because she’s very funny and thoughtful, she gave me long answers, which I had to edit for print and was unable to include in this week’s Filter. Below, see the uncut, unadulterated version of our discussion.
