Lady Alex’s Burlesque Boudoir
Flying Without Wings (or a Safety Harness)
“Look Ma, no hands!”
Well, m’dears, this week I have been having capers and adventures of an aerial theme.
Yes, I wanted to see if I could fly.
Over the years I’ve been involved in the magnificent world of cabaret I have seen many splendid aerial acts on hoop, trapeze, silks and rope. I find them graceful and it all looks so effortless. So the urge overtook me to have a go.
The way I saw it, I had all the right qualifications for an aerial hoop. After all, no-one in the playground could ever ride a swing like me. How hard can it be?
As I write this, darlings, my hands are bleeding and I am sat on a family size pack of frozen peas.
My dreams of flight lead me to my ever-patient and totally lovely trainer, Amy, who I found through the wonderful Hula Boy (who else?) When I informed Amy I was an absolute beginner she didn’t seem phased. However, I think she assumed some sort of training in equivalent physical arts. Our first conversation went a little like this:

Lady Ane “Fire” Angel
Many words have been used to sum up Wam Bam: “wonderful”, “georgeous”, “sexy”, and “exciting” are just some of the words I don’t use myself, because in private I have just one word for my show: “madness”.
In the two years and nine months since Wam Bam began, my world has bounced from the bizarre to the ridiculous. I’ve laughed, cried and run screaming with my dignity dead in a ditch behind me, and that’s just the rehearsals. Once the show goes on, all bets are off.
Lady Ane Angel—a very talented burlesque and circus performer—came bursting through my Wam Bam doors in March 2008. This curious lady from Iceland has a sensational fire act that I knew would be perfect for my show. That’s her above, at the start of her flaming crotch routine!
Who wouldn’t want to see that in a cabaret club?
