Some Friday and Saturday nights, you’ll find Mac DeVille getting all dolled up, rolling up thigh-high stockings, lacing up corsets, and applying a full face to perform in one of her Bottoms Up Quad City Burlesque at The Speakeasy.
Nowadays, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, you’ll find her doing much of the same, but rather than taking a stage, she’s delivering food for Good2Go.
The responses she gets from area restaurants when she pops in to pick up food might be her favorite part of it all.
“I guess most people don't walk around looking like a snack to deliver food,” she said.
But Mac DeVille does.
She’s “something else,” said Q-C-based Good2Go owner Lisa Garman.
Mac DeVille, of Davenport, is the Bottoms Up co-founder's stage name, but it's how most people know her. She's also a stylist at Royal T's Beauty Parlor in the Village of East Davenport, where Garman gets her hair done.
“I ran into her outside the salon early in the shutdown of everything,” Garman said. She asked DeVille how she was, and she said, “I’m bored,” as she couldn’t do hair or perform.
Garman knew she had restaurant experience, as most artists do, and told her, “We (are) so busy. Want to deliver some food?” And DeVille said yes.
Garman gave her the necessary equipment and went over the basics, and figured out a way to give DeVille something to do without taking away work from her other employees. For friends and fans who want DeVille to deliver their food on Friday and Saturday nights, they may request her in the comment section while placing their orders.
“She’s doing what she does,” Garman said, and “she looks amazing doing it.”
