Whether you are a geek or not, at some point we’ve all had a fascination with sci-fi
women, be that because of their otherworldly sweetness, their bewitching personalities,
their awesome hairstyles (Hello, princess Leia!) or their superpowers…

Burlesque performers and performance artists have some of the best stage
names, some created by them and some bestowed upon them.
We thought of asking some of our favourite burlesque and performance artists
to tell us a little bit about their stage names and how they got them and their
stories are absolutely fantastic!

From Christina Aguilera to Katy Perry, From Kylie Minogue to Dita von Teese, From Lady Alex to Beatriz von Bourbon, every glamorous showgirl knows that part of being a true glamour goddess is paying attention to detail not only on stage but also in the dressing room.

We love everything about Dita von Teese. She is not only a burlesque icon but also
a fierce fashionista, a fabulous model and a beauty guru! The uber glamorous ‘Queen
of Burlesque‘ does her own styling, hair and make-up. From colouring her hair at home
herself, to dying her eyebrows; Dita is a firm advocate of DIY when it comes to beauty
and style.

people who are not familiar with the art of tease – is that burlesque is all about
taking your clothes off; but we, burlesque lovers, know perfectly well that this is

Sometimes, it can be all about putting your clothes on! ; )
