A few months ago myself and a bunch of my burlesque pals (Betty Quirk, Sevvy Skellington, Meryle Trouble and Dante Him) had a burlesque themed photoshoot with Haley Frisen for her thesis project and here are some of the results! Check out the rest of her amazing portfolio at www.haleyfriesenphotography.com
Looking for a good time on May 1st? Come check out Dolly Berlin’s Peeler’s Playhouse! This show is going to be a good old fashion raunch-fest with lots of bumpin’, grindin’ and go-go gals going wild! Myself and Betty Quirk will be bringing back our legendary Russ Meyer themed Cat Fight routine for this evening and you won’t want to miss it!

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would post something a little different for my photoset this week. This robe was originally a costume piece I made for a stage show I used to be involved. I love the sheer almost giraffe-like pattern of this fabric. It is the perfect sexy peekaboo print! The feather trim on the sleeves gives a fun and dramatic flare to the robe. Simply divine!

A few weeks ago I was so lucky to perform in the Nerdlesque Festival in New York city as the vibrant superhero Batwoman. Not Batgirl… Batwoman. I also performed this act at Peepshow TO’s Nude 52 show last October. I thought I would share some of the photos from these events of the epic costume I put together for this act. This is another example of Burlesque Cosplay, where slight modifications are made to help with the removal of each item. Instead of having one full bodysuit I decided to cut out the thighs and put in garters. I also made the boots into bootcovers that are removed like stockings with a simple nude dance shoe underneath. The most fantastic part of this costume though is the cape! This thing is a monster that stretches past my reach and has dowels sewn in to help me hold it up. But my absolute favourite part of the costume in my amazing mask which is leather and was made for me by the brilliant leatherworker and costume designer Adam Smith! I love the way this costume turned out and I have found each time I wear it that there are a lot of Batwoman fans out there that appreciate the outcome of my effort and love seeing this fierce, Jewish, lesbian badass hero come to life!
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…
