Dancing Through the Decades: Friendship and Burlesque With My Stage Sister, Darlinda Just Darlinda

June 04, 2025 • Alyssa K. Abrahamson • Episode 232

232. Tune in this week for the first interview in my four-part series The Heart of Friendship, where we explore how connection, sisterhood, and shared growth shape our lives and become essential parts of living a meaningful, wholehearted life.

This episode features my dear friend and burlesque dance partner of 21 years, Darlinda Just Darlinda (yes, that’s her name!). We dive into the story of how we met, what it’s been like to perform together for over two decades as The Schlep Sisters, and how touring the world, traveling side by side, and sharing the stage has shaped our friendship.

We also reflect on how we’ve supported each other through the highs and lows—navigating health challenges, evolving as artists and women, and truly growing up together in the glitter and grit of showgirl life. It’s a joyful, real, and deeply loving conversation.
