Gal Friday
(Performer)
GAL FRIDAY "After years of desk jockeying for "the man", this Gal Friday decided to take her talents and apply them to the stage. The lady that once typed 70 words a minute, equipped with a clever quip playing on her lip, is now one of New York City's top Burly-Q bombshells. Ms. Friday has come along way since her debut: She had the honor of performing at Miss Exotic World for the title of 'Best Debut' and is also extremely proud to have held the title of 'Miss Coney Island 2009.' She loves teaching for the New York School of Burlesque, introducing new students to the delightful world of striptease!! Truly, hiding a gal like this behind a desk would be a crime!
