After the show, Tansy posted on her Facebook profile:
“Tonight I have the incredible honor of performing as part of the Movers, Shakers, and Innovators Showcase at The Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend. Words cannot express how grateful I am to those helped make this act possible. THANK YOU to the insanely talented Philip Estrada for his glorious costume work and constant collaboration, Nikki Knickers for the rockin’ music edit, Cara Angela Liguori for your time, ideas, and beautiful self, to the ever generous Malgorzata Maggie Saniewska for taking the time to film and upload the act, and to Manelich Minniefee, my ferocious lion, who finally helped me bring this act to life. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.”
