Glimpsed on the Town: Kristin Weisman at Rocket to Venus

Kristin Weisman loves a look that's "kind of bohemian, but at the same time, really feminine. I like girly things that have a little funk to them." Her style mirrors her professional life. The 30-year-old Parkville resident is an English teacher at Kenwood High School, a part-time burlesque performer with the Gilded Lily troupe, and a part-time yoga instructor. We "glimpsed" Weisman at another of her part-time gigs — as a hostess at Hampden's hip Rocket to Venus restaurant — in a navy rayon Sine romper and a wide segmented brown leather belt — both from Anthropologie. Her dark brown suede round-toe Naughty Monkey buckle boots came from Nordstrom, and her purple leopard-print Betsey Johnson sunglasses were Loehmann's finds. She threw on a couple of bangles, one of which "I think I stole from my sister." Her gold-plated lion's head pendant was her great aunt's. "She was the first female crier for the circus. She just passed away this year. But, she was a trailblazer." Another one of Weisman's favorite accessories? "I wear false eyelashes like I wear deodorant. I wear them all the time. I like taking a feminine feature and exaggerating it. I guess that's why I got into burlesque. It gives you an excuse to be over the top with makeup."
