VavaVoom - Edinburgh

In December I performed my art deco fire show at VavaVoom In Edinburgh's Electric Circus.

It was a great night, with a great line up featuring: Myself, Cherry Loco, Vendetta Vain, and Miss Hell's Belle.
Here are some photos of my fire show. It's the first time ever performed without something decorative on my head! Yikes!

I have some amazing things coming up this year. New fire and sideshow stunts, more stunning costumes and many more creative collaborations! Bring on 2011!

Requiem - Bath of Blood PART II

Well... Youtube have deleted 'Requiem' due to content of an overtly sexual nature.
The content was not overtly sexual, nor was it offensive to the majority of people on Youtube who post ridiculous videos of their cats farting. I think it's ironic that Youtube can host Porn, but not semi-nude performance art.

I have since uploaded it onto Vimeo, you can find it HERE....

Requiem - Bath of Blood

A few months ago I created a performance for Torture Garden's annual Halloween Ball - Based on the notorious regal murderess, Countess Elizabeth Báthory. I bathe in a bath of blood, and eat fire.
Báthory is legendary for using the blood of slain virgins to bathe in, she believed that it would retain her diminishing beauty. There's more information about her here.


I really enjoyed combining Catholic imagery, legend and modern music/performance together to create this show, I've titled it Requiem because I thought it quite appropriate:

"A Requiem or Requiem Mass, is also known as Mass for the dead (Latin: Missa pro defunctis) or Mass of the dead (Latin: Missa defunctorum), is Mass celebrated for the repose of the soul or souls of one or more deceased persons, using a particular formula of the Roman Missal. It is frequently, but not necessarily, celebrated in the context of a funeral."


Here's the video from NYE performance of 'Requiem' at Salon Rouge Cambridge: 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to use blood for this particular performance, as the venue wouldn't allow it. (I think that they were worried about the stage upholstery) 
Water was used instead - I hope the performance still is impactual as intended.

Fire Fans....

A short video of a much longer fire performance for Voodoo De Luxe - Royal Burlesque Revue from the 13th November. Milano Italy!

Voodoo De Luxe - Royal Burlesque Revue, Milano Italy.

Wow, I've just had the most stressfully amazing weekend I've had in a long time!
I went to Milan to perform at an incredible venue called the Casa Del Musica, they were hosting The Royal Burlesque Revue with Voodoo De Luxe.
Special thanks to Transport for London for nearly making me miss my flight and making me cry, and also to Alitalia for leaving my bags in London. (I got my luggage back less than 30 minutes before the doors opened!)
But, regardless of the stress etc... The show was absolutely amazing with other performances from Millie Dollar and Chrys Columbine.
Here are some photos from my fan dance, and my new fire performance. The majority are taken by

Grazia Teresella Breva

And, Now for the fire...........

I love these photos so much, I think they capture the essence of my 30's fan dance, and the Art Deco Fire Circus perfectly. 

I hope to be in Milan again very soon.

Double R Club

I am a massive Twin Peaks fan, HUGE... So, when I was asked to perform at a depraved and deviant cabaret club called the Double R Club, I was extremely excited!
The Double R Club is one of my more preferred unsavoury night spots, hosting all varieties of otherworldly and exotic cabaret acts, it is also home to the notorious compere Benjamin Louche. Not forgetting many amazing nods to all things 'Lynch'.

Here's a photo's of me performing at October's Double R, in The Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, London.

Link to a (brilliant) recent review of the club...!

Atelieri O. Haapala Finland

In September I did a photo shoot with two renowned photographers Saara Salmi, and Marco Melander (Also known as: Atelieri O. Haapala) from Helsinki Finland.
It was a really fun shoot, and I was introduced to the amazing Donnie Darko Score. Bondage is done by Tinttu Henttonen, and once again all images are self styled.
