As a Washington D.C. Native, I am a GiGi of all trades. From burlesque to gogo dancing, I will add fun and excitement to your event. I also host at events ranging from award shows to parties. My performing style is captivating, enticing and an experience you would want to re-live again and again.

GiGi Holliday is Washington D.C.’s resurgence of glitz, glamour, and allure. Armed with eyelashes and an arsenal of glitter she has enticed audiences with her clever blend of sass and wit.

Legitimate Love Child” enjoys the spotlight heating her up and showing you some “Chocolate City Tittie”.

I require a private dressing room with ample lighting, a mirror, and a safe space to place my items. A bathroom is not a private dressing room.

While performing, music should be played on a proper sound system and I can send my music in advance.

Performance space should be a clean floor (No concrete, grass, or unpolished wood floors (this applies to burlesque specifically) and not harmful to dancer and costumes.
