But don’t be fooled by her very particular kind of elegance! Lorie’s greatest joy is connecting with her audience. She loves chatting, making you laugh out loud, moving you (yes, really, it’s possible!), and above all, making sure you feel completely and utterly welcome in her wild world. Get ready for an evening where glamour meets gentle madness, and where nothing is ever taken too seriously… except the glitter!
