Sugar Blue BurlesqueBurlesque Shakedown is proudly brought to you by Sugar Blue Burlesque, Perth's original all-girl showgirl and burlesque company. Reminiscent of the 1920s, 30s and 40s, Sugar Blue Burlesque presents a unique blend of classic burlesque and elaborate vintage costumes, with authentic jazz and swing era dances, comedy, parody and crowd pleasing theatricality. The company is headed up by three glittering burlesque stars, the divine A'dora Derriere, the inimitable Scarlet O'Harlot and the charming Miss Bonnie Fox.

A'dora DerriereOne of the darlings of Sugar Blue Burlesque, A'dora is a formidable vixen onstage! The queen of the corset, this French beauty has a wiggle in her walk that's not quickly forgotten. Hers is a derriere that has inspired Parisian poets and broken hearts the world over! In her signature performance piece, this sassy burlesque siren channels the divine Marlene Dietrich in a delicious cabaret cocktail of tight lacing and bespoke tailoring... |

Scarlet O'HarlotThough she has the face of a doll, Scarlet O'Harlot dances with the wild abandonment of an Amazon! This seductress intoxicates men with her dark, mysterious eyes and bewitches them with her hips. Vamp and temptress on the stage, Scarlet is a Sugar Blue Burlesque favourite. Passionate and exotic, this love goddess's incarnations include a cheeky Marie Antoinette and the heavenly Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra... |

Miss Bonnie FoxAnother of Sugar Blue Burlesque's sweethearts, Miss Bonnie Fox is cute, coy and curvaceous! One part elegant starlet and one part madcap flapper, Bonnie is a passionate devotee of the 1920s and 30s, and a real life Charleston champion! Bonnie has never once been seen without her signature cherry red pout, and that smile is enough to damn near break a man's heart. Her signature act captures her two extremes of seductive elegance and sugary cuteness, as she gracefully peels herself out of a glamorous vintage gown in order to free herself for a wild 1920s Charleston number... |

Kimtortion (aka Spider Girl)Like the bendable beauty she is, Kimtortion dislikes having to put herself into "About Me" boxes, but does enjoy putting herself into real boxes, suitcases and the like.

Jack HamiltonOne of Perth's swing dancing bright young things, this tall drink of water delights audiences with swing the way it was danced in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. With high-energy Lindy Hop and hot jazz steps, this jitterbug has lightening fast feet and a Clark Gable swagger. With a talent for old school stage razzmatazz and generally throwing girls around on the dancefloor, Jack was born for the burlesque stage. Burlesque Shakedown: where burlesque meets swing dance, buys it a drink and takes it to bed. |

Pussy FausfedPussy Fausfed is kitten on the keys and vocalist behind Perth postpunk-blues-glam-opera-metal-cabaret outfit Birds of Paradise. Don't be fooled by her stilettoed, false eyelashed, well corseted exterior, for within her lies the essence, nay, the SPIRIT of filthy dirty cabaret! Forget your regular buffet of bland tunes churned out by mundane songbirds with no charisma, Pussy Fausfed will win your heart with her ridiculous costumery and pretty pretty feathers. Visit Birds of Paradise on myspace or check them out on Triple J Unearthed |
