Article does not meet WP:GNG. Of the current sources, only 1 has a reasonable amount of significant coverage, with the other being written by the subject. I could not find anything else to note this subject, originally created by an SPI with no other edits, being notable in any meaningful way.

 * Comment - The article needs a major rewrite, but there appears to be sustained coverage available, in addition to brief secondary content at p. 120 of Burlesque and the New Bump-n-grind (2004); another book appears to mention her (p. 95, 2018); and there is in-depth coverage of her performance in The Happy Stripper: Pleasures and Politics of the New Burlesque (2007); there also are some GScholar results I have not yet accessed.
