While many can see that she is most definitely a free spirit, she hasn't shied away from talking about her "strict" upbringing. “The interesting thing is I grew up a Jehovah’s Witness and I had a very, very strict upbringing. So burlesque wasn’t something that was really around for me. I couldn’t be around it. It was new and taboo," she says to Fox News. Colby's love for burlesque occurred when she realized it was teaching her valuable lessons in life. “The burlesque journey has really been an interesting one for me,” she explains. “It’s part of my life journey, my relationship with my body and my relationship with sexuality. It’s deep and it really started from a place of anxiety and depression. It really helped me blossom into a person who is less anxious and less depressed.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Danielle Colby “Queen Of Rust” (@daniellecolbyamericanpicker) She continues on to say that she's involved in burlesque for herself, and herself only. “I don’t perform for men. I don’t care if men are in the audience at all. It doesn’t matter to me either way. Just be there and be respectful. I really want the women in the audience to feel a kinship. … You should go to a burlesque show and feel invited into the conversation. If you don’t, you’re in the wrong burlesque show.” RELATED: Danielle Colby Opens Up About ‘American Pickers’ Star Frank Fritz’s Exit From The Show Why did Danielle leave American Pickers?
