As the High Priestess of Glam for Showgirl Temple, Vanity Thorn brings 10+ years of work in the beauty and fashion industry to create workshops accessible to all levels of learners. 

Her focus is the demystification of high glamour, so that all students may adopt the knowledge of their innate sexuality. 

Vanity Thorn consistently strives to fill the world with a more diverse representation of beauty, through rejecting mainstream media standards of attractiveness. She dismisses the notion that there is only one way to be sexy. Professional techniques are not to be limited to only the select group mandated by Industry elites. 

These principles drive her to create classes for students that are fun, sexy, effective, and above all, attainable.
