Well, I had a whirlwind trip to NYC last week with some of my burlesque peeps for the Nerdlesque Festival! I left on Wednesday morning and returned very early Saturday. Even though I wasn’t in New York for long I managed to pack in a lot of adventures, take a look…
I am so proud to have performed at the Nerdlesque Festival! I never could have imagined that one day I would be doing burlesque for a screaming audience in New York City. It’s definitely an experience I will never forget!
I’m so exited to be performing this Friday night in the first ever Nerdlesque Festival in New York City! If you are in NYC this weekend come check it out!
Last night was Pussy Whipped Wednesday at the Boxine Sex Club in Toronto. The lovely Laura Desiree produced the second monthly Dances the Cramps Taught Us event with burlesque performers and go-go dancers shaking it to songs by the Cramps. My design partner/bff, Betty Quirk and I did our go-go/cat fight routine. We were surrounded by lots of talented dancers including Tanya Cheex, Fionna Flauntit, Esther DeVille, Lorretta Jean and Aviva Mirage!
Come see myself and Betty Quirk GO GO and STRIP STRIP tonight at the Bovine Sex Club in Toronto! There will be lots of lovely ladies taking it off to the Cramps tonight. Come check it out!
Last friday I attended the premiere of the documentary “Bettie Page Reveals All” at Toronto’s Bloor Cinema. To start the show the radiantly beautiful burlesque pinups, Laura Desiree and Coco Framboise did their best Bettie impressions and sensually stripped for a cheering crowd. The movie was an intimately detailed look into the life of the original pinup girl Bettie Page. Since Bettie herself narrated most of the film you really got a sense of her fun, sassy personality and parts of the film were like listening to your grandmother tell inappropriate stories from her youth. Even with a hard and troubled life, Bettie playfully described her love of sex and sexuality in describing her younger self and her relationships through her life. She was a brilliant model with an unending supply of poses and facial expressions, a perfect pinup figure, and a carefree attitude that comes across in absolutely every photo of her. Truly an inspiring woman who had a long, roller coaster ride of a life. I definitely recommend watching this film, check out the trailer at the bottom of this post.
While I was at home watching the Oscars on Sunday the absolutely astounding burlesque troupe The Harlettes were performing in their annual Burlesque Oscars show! These beauties are certainly not lacking for talent and by all accounts had a brilliantly successful show. I was lucky enough to get to make a few skirts to accompany their Disney Princess outfits for one of their acts. Take a look at Maria Juana as Cineralla, Chow Mein as Snow White and Bunny Angora as Belle…

Myself and three of my best gal pals (Betty Quirk, Meryle Trouble and Sevvy Skellington) had an amazing photo shoot on Sunday with up and coming photographer extraordinaire Haley Friesen as part of her thesis project. I can’t say much more except that the shoot was burlesque themed and we were asked to stick with a pale pink/blue colour pallet. We each put our own spin on the theme and we ended up with some really fun outfits. We were also joined by dancer/boylesque newbie Dante Him, who added some masculine energy (and buttocks) to our very girly shoot. I’m so excited to see the final photo results. For now, here are some behind the scenes teasers!
I’m just about to head out to a fabulous burlesque themed photo shoot! What are YOU up to today darlings?
My muse, the Big City Kitty, Laura Desiree performed for Great Canadian Burlesque at the Libertine this past Sunday in a brand new outfit I created for her. With a fringe bra, fringe-bottom and sparkle-crotch shorts, super glitzy g-string and divine satin gloves with long fringe, Miss Desiree was the perfect rock n roll pinup queen! These amazing photos from MOPO really captured the essence of the look! Please check out the video at the bottom of the post to see Laura Desiree in action!
My amazing Boylesque friend Ab Horrence was thrown a surprise birthday party/burlesque show this past weekend by his amazing girlfriend. There were so many fun acts and myself and my design partner Betty Quirk debuted a new act we’ve been working on. Decked out in fringe covered outfits we shimmied and shook to the theme song to the film Faster Pussycat Kill Kill followed by the Cramps song “All Women are Bad”. The party was a huge success and I think Ab Horrence had an unforgettable birthday!
