Besides being Franky’s +1 on this show, Michelle, aka Mrs Vivid, is the inspiration for Franky’s culinary exploits. Michelle holds a burlesque intensive series of classes each year and, well, a girl’s gotta eat. Realizing that he enjoyed feeding burlesque dancers, Franky started blogging about it and what started out as fun food for 10 girls is now fun reading for tens of thousands of blog subscribers.
