Career
In 2010, Siragusa took Fashion Design & Theatrical Costume Design in college and was recommended by her professor to the Houston Grand Opera and Houston Ballet as a costume designer.[6] In 2015, she started her own character company for children's entertainment. Since the debut of her company, she has been featured on local news stations a number of times and appeared on TLC's The Little Couple twice.[7]
In 2016, Siragusa was contacted by Twitch where they asked her to join their platform and livestream making costumes. She quickly gained a large following and eventually redirected her content to dancing, ASMR and hot tub streaming. Siragusa currently has 5.2 million followers on Twitch.[6]
Siragusa is one of the biggest content creators on OnlyFans, earning over $1 million every month.[8]
On October 8, 2021, Siragusa was banned from Twitch for the fifth time, as well as Instagram and TikTok.[9][10]
In November 2021, Siragusa announced on her Twitter that she had bought a gas station, which she is renting out to a Circle K.[11] In January 2022, she announced that she had also bought an inflatable pool toy company.[12]
Personal life
Siragusa was born in Houston, Texas, on 2 December 1993. She was an only child growing up and grew a strong connection to animals. As a child, Siragusa would play a lot of video games and watch anime, which later inspired her to start costume designing and cosplaying. She was taught by her aunt how to sew, made her very first costume for a local Houston convention, and won her first contest as Princess Zelda.[6]
Siragusa is still an animal lover today and owns two horses, Spirit and Kyran, and two dogs, Nox and Bear. She has said in multiple interviews that her reason for doing content creation is to earn enough money so she can start her own animal sanctuary and save unwanted and mistreated dogs and ex-racehorses.[6][13]
