From Bags to Riches

At the age of 14, Suzanne found herself on the streets of Pittsburgh with no where to go. Although she had some loving adults in her life during her formative years, everyone who looked out for her and her brother had died by the time she was twelve. After suffering abuse from her mom and mom's boyfriends on multiple occasions, the courts took her from her home.

After running away from county shelters, at the tender age of 15, Sue decided to try and take care of herself. One night she saw an ad in the local paper looking for dancers, she thought, well, I can dance!
From childhood, her dream was to see her name in lights on the Las Vegas strip, so she thought this might be her shot.
But for many years, she would spend her nights touring the bawdy, blue collar, burlesque clubs of the east, seeing things most kids never do, and developing an hysterical character she called "Bag Lady Sue."
The strip club crowds loved it and her, and word of her spread.

In her twenties, on a dare from one of the patrons, Sue went down to a local comedy club and got up on stage as herself. She had no idea at the time how that one night would change the course of her life forever!

Through her fearless nature and combining her love for comedy with her strip act the "Bag Lady", Sue left burlesque, headed off to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with her young daughter Cheyenne and chased, and found her real dream.
She has been entertaining audiences in the tens of thousands from coast to coast at motorcycle rallies, rock concerts and military bases from Alaska to Florida, South Dakota to Texas, and New York to New Mexico.
She has opened for and shared the stage with the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kid Rock, Hank Jr. and hundreds of others.

Her videos have been seen around the world thanks to the many veteran's who have shared her adorable character, and the laughter she brings, with their comrades in arms.
She has battled alcoholism and has many sober years behind her.
Today she has given her life to Christ, and dedicates her time to performing for Veterans charities, bringing awareness to their causes, all across the USA.
