Tigz and I shot these a couple of months ago but they were well worth the wait! Thanks Tigz, love them!





Swarovski in Zurich

I flew to Zurich over the weekend to do a show for Swarovski, yes that's right SWAROVSKI aaaaah! I was very excited to be asked to do the parachute and I made sure I covered myself in my own crystals to be extra sparkly. (No goodie bags tho, booo)

The event was in a large out of use train station, all the seats, the track and the clock were still in there, it was brilliantly grand.

I don't have any other pics yet.


It was snowing and felt really christmassy! Loved it x

White Mink

I love working with White Mink, since living in Brighton I have done lots of things with them over the years, Nick Hollywood is a great DJ and puts on a great show!

Stacks of talent across the night and my lovely chum Tarik came to keep me company and waft my parachute.

SLEAZE!

I performed at Trixi Malilicious and Matt Fraser's infamous Sleaze! Such a good little show, it was very relaxed and very chilled out and the acts were great!
  Miss Cairo Mascara was honestly one of the most captivating gog dancers I even saw her willy in a box, then there was Lolo Brow who performed a routine to whatever song came on shuffle, Mr Mistress (one of my favourite girlboys) performed a reverse strip and Fred Bear as a twisted Santa!
And of course there was fun and larks from the audience members and the wonderful hosts Trixi and Matt.
I performed my Lonely Goatherder, it was a lot of fun!

Luxembourg

Suri Sumatra and Mr Pustra were amongst the merry band of crazy circus folk that I was with over in Luxembourg.

We did a show for a high end swanky club as a medley of circus freaks, strong men and odd bods!


Mr Pustra, Andromeda Circus, Billie Rae and Suri Sumatra!

Morning perks from the 5star hotel we were put up in! I very much enjoyed my morning lounge with Pustra and Suri.

Saturday Dec 2nd Neon Moon

Missy Fatale and I made our way over to Cambridge for Neon Moon, the gorgeous Cherry and Ruby put on one hell of a show in a big old Manor house.


We spent the day filming a promo video for our Siamese twin act, it was really fun and interesting shooting with live film, I was able to be more interactive and we captured movements as well as the stills.





We projected images onto us, we used Svankmeyjers Alice which I used last month on my parachute, it's a film that I have been bought up with from a baby, so it was really nice to use it in my own film.


We then performed later in the evening for the guests, they were dressed in ball gowns and looked incredible.

My Gruff also came for the night and we spent the evening in one of the many beautiful bedrooms of the manor house. We had a really nice evening. Thanks Cath, you put on a grand show!!!



Voodoo Deluxe Nov 24th

I performed in Milan last weekend with the wonderful guys at Voodoo Deluxe, Gypsy Wood and Armitage Shanks.

It is always a really nice show in Milan as everyone in the audience at Salon Parisien are always so responsive and friendly, they really make and effort and are always a pleasure to perform in front of.

I performed 3 of my newest acts, The lonely Goatherder, The Majorette and my Parachute act.






Here are some pictures from the show.

I'm carrying a bit of weight still from my gluttonous ways in Singapore, look at the belly!!

Die Freche Muse FACTORY PARTY

I performed at Die Freches Muse's Factory Party on Friday.

It was in the middle of nowhere and had I not have seen Trixy Malicious on her way there I would have been royally lost. 
But because of it's strange positioning and back end feel, it had a pretty good Factory Party feel, very hedonistic and bohemian. 
The guests of the party had made such a huge effort and all looked like little Edie Sedgwicks and beatniks.

I performed an act inspired by Heroin, I had my silver isis wings and long hair extensions and tried to get a kind of free love, hippy chic look.
I walked on with a cigarette hidden behind my wings to look like I was chasing the dragon.
I then went into some fire with it.
It was good fun, I love doing acts that are specific to a show, it makes me try things I wouldn't normally do.

60s make up and a  BIG CHIN?



Trixy Malicious performed a UV body paint, she looked gorgeous covered in amazing UV colours, I sprayed her nudey body. The audience loved it.

Fancy Chance also performed a Heroin inspired act, but it was very different to mine, she covered herself and a range of different sized inflatable bananas in tin foil, and proceeded to unravel them to a strange mix of velvet underground, elvis ranting and a projection of Andy Warhol eating a beef burger.
It was amazing.

24th November this Saturday in Milan!

Singapore and Malaysia

I had the pleasure of being asked to perform in Singapore with Cirque du Soir, and randomly my Gruff was working there too, SO we made it into a holiday!



I loved Singapore, it was hot and amazing. However we performed outside, in the heat, it was 30degrees and lots of humidity. But we were on top of the Fullerton Bay hotel, which over looked the Marina and the big Marina Bay Hotel, such an amazing experience and i'm so grateful for the oppertunity.

 
We went to Universal Studios. I have never done anything liket that, I even went on a roller coaster.

Vienna - Cirque Rouge

This was a delightful trip! I had such a lovely time over in Austria with Cirque Rouge.
The show was in the Volks Theatre. Which was a beautiful and incredible place, we were in the smaller theatre which was nice, but the the big grand one, uh it was amazing!!




The show consisted of some fantastic performers. Tamara Mascara was an absolutely gorgeous drag queen, her curves, make up and shaded boobies, she was brilliant, and her costumes were unbelievable big. Veuve Noir did two acts, one with horns as well, but she did a kind of dark and slightly giesha inspired act and they were all very sultry, beautiful colours.
And of course there was Lou Lou D'vil who was gorgeous and divine as usual, we both ate way too much before the show, so had huge food bellies. Sexy!!
And Armitage Shanks, he was brilliantly dry witty and gruffly, looking forward to performing again this weekend in Milan with him.
Winter wonderland.

 
I am so grateful to all the helpers who sat and wafted my parachute during the act, I love that moment behind the curtain before this act starts, everyone sitting, quitely waiting for them to open. They all did a great job.

The Humming Bird.


Teeth a FeatherS!

Thank you Antonia, you were a great host for us, and it was a pleasure to meet you! xxx

Torture Garden Halloween Ball

What a show! I love doing TG as it means you can do something a little out of the ordinary!
  I did my big parachute act, and this time, I bought my chums! I had Chichi and her husband Sam, Veronica Blacklace and her sister Anna help me, they wafted it (to perfection) and chichi and Veronica got under it to create erotic shadows and projections.


We went in early in the day and spent a while rigging up lights and getting it just right. It worked quite well. Atleast I hope it did.

Here is a video. I managed to get the lovely Mr Pustra to hold the camera for me, but it was a little crowded so he had to stand pretty much on the stage with me, but it give a good indication of the effect we were going for...




Mr Pustra and Vicky Butterfly also performed, Pustra wore this epic headdress and did an act about decadence, gluttony and it was so darn sexy. He had Vicky walk on with him too and cover him in grapes. Very moody and hypnotic.
Vicky performed an act about cocaine, filling little balloons with talc she then stabbed them creating a big explosion of white powder. Her mask that she used was really effective. Found both acts really inspiring.
And of course Benjamin Louche was there! I really think he is one of the best comperes, his strange use of a mega phone is so perfect for his Lynchian character. Rose was also there, his wife to be!!

Thank you to Chichi, Veronica,  Sam and Anna for all your help xxxx

Florian Stafollani


I did a show earlier this year in France with Isobel Mosser, and it was at an art deco cinema that was closing down, we were the last show in there, it was a great line up, Xarah von de Veligregen, Lada Redstar, Lily Deslys Miss Anthropy and Marawa the hula hooper!

This is a series of the photographs from Florian Staffolina.

Cirque madness


I have been performing at Cirque over the last month, it's great mid week madness. I haven't got any pics of it yet, but we have been installing my giant parachute dress with a fan underneath it, and it looks amazing in the little window.

A little pic from the Cirque photo booth!

Cracking Line up with Mr Pustra, Marnie Scarlet, Jonny Woo and Missy Macabre and Lexi Lee were also there, lots of weirdness that night. In a good way of course!

Neon Moon

I will be performing at this in Dec. I'm also getting to spend the night in a big stately home where it's being held, also Missy Fatale and I will be doing another photoshoot of our siamese twin act


Pin up Party!

We had a very interesting night at cirque du Soirs Pin up party.

I quite enjoyed doing the 50s hair and putting on some high waisted panties and stockings! It was good fun as well as I had me best pal Chichi with me!

We also got to keep the amazing cats eye shades! Sexy!


I kept my curlers in all day and hair sprayed the hell out of my barnet, BUT STILL it flopped and went all lank by the ned of the night. I have no idea how those bombshells back in the day did it!

NYC

I was flown over to New York for a secret show. It was a mad weekend of flights, dancing and site seeing. I only had a day, but  I got to see a few bits. I love New York, can't wait to be back there again!!
