Femme De Violette is the busty Broadway broad who got off the bus just a liiiittle too late, and is making sense of this modern world around her while trying to keep her divas alive. She’s a hostess, producer, showstopper, and maven of the stage. You can find her all over this beautiful Windy City bringing her larger than life personality everywhere- can’t believe it fits in a suitcase!
