Many of us saw the traffic Tuesday; some of you tell us you saw the smashed-up scooter. The reason for the traffic back-up is tragic. A young woman named Megan Margolies, who happens to have been a popular burlesque performer according to Sarah Blaskovich at Pegasus News, crashed into a truck while test driving a moped.

From Blaskovich’s post:

…Megan worked as a hair dresser at Halo Salon in Dallas, and was a popular print model, and actress/dancer in a popular burlesque troupe who helped raise money for many benefits …She had a real zest for life, as cliche as it may sound [say friends]. She was always out, she was an entertainer. She was that person in the room you were always happy to see.

Margolies’ memorial is Sunday at 7 p.m. at LaGrange in Deep Ellum. Her favorite band, The Rodeo Clown Dropouts, performs at 8 p.m.
