he bouncy, platinum blonde curls,the sparkling megawatt smile,the playful eyes and electrifyingstage presence - the similaritiesbetween former Miss Exotic WorldKitten de Ville and the originalblonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe

are undeniable.But Kitten de Ville (commonly known as“The Embodiment of Burlesque”) is in a classof her own. After all, Ms Monroe never flipped300-pound men while Mexican wrestling orstarred in a bootyshakin’ JLo film clip, let alonejuggle motherhood with a successful careeras an international burlesque superstar.

Kitten has recently wrapped up the Queensof Tease tour in Finland, but before she hadtime to catch her breath once she returned

to US soil, she went on to shake her rumpon stages across San Francisco, New Orleansand Las Vegas. This month, she headlined theWindy City Burlesque Festival in Chicago.

One of the original Velvet Hammer girls whofirst rocked the LA burlesque scene in the 90s,Kitten has reached some impressive heightsduring her career. She won Miss Exotic Worldand Queen of the Quake in 2002 and has workedwith legendary pinup photographer BunnyYeager, performed for numerous celebrities and

featured in a plethora of publications, films andvideo clips. Later this year, she hopes to launchher own line of burlesque-inspired products suchas clothing, costumes and even homewares.

Prior to Kitten’s career as a stripteaseartist, she was a punk, go-go dancer andmodel for Versace and Gaultier, who

spotted her dancing in a club in 1992 andasked her to star in one of his shows.

“To me, burlesque in 1994 seemed likepunk rock. It was a natural transition,” Kittenexplained. “It was a small group of like-mindedgirls who were saying ‘fuck you’ to the cookiecutter models and the sex industry, run by men

telling us what we should look and act like.We had a different idea of sex and glamour,body size and music, and we were not afraidto put ourselves on stage and say, ‘Look atthis, we are putting some danger back intobeing a girl, some tease and surprise’.”

While Kitten enjoys the glamorous whirlwindlifestyle of a burlesque superstar, she admits shalways looks forward to returning to Californiato her supportive husband and three daughters,November West, Chelsea Dagger and Ivy Rose.

“It is very grounding to say the least. Iwill be away on tour for a month or so beingKitten de Ville, ‘til I am sick of the makeup and champagne and I come home tomy family, the gardens and the house - allneeding to be taken care of - and I am happyto put on old blue jeans and dig right in. Youcannot take being a diva too seriously whenyou are raising daughters. And I love it. It isa perfect balance for my life,” she said.

Kitten’s youngest daughter Ivy Rose adores

her mother’s showgirl lifestyle and is completelunfazed by spending three months in Francehanging out with Dirty Martini or catching amovie with photographer David LaChapelle.In fact, Ivy is an aspiring Broadway performerwho recently scored the lead in her children’stheatre show (Kitten turned down the Queens

nude modelling. There is one dancer I must

mention named Elizabeth Burton who is now63. She is the lady who brought burlesque toAustralia in the 1960s, but once again, she wasthe exception rather than the rule and no-onewould employ her as her style became old-fashioned. Her act is farting her fanny along tothe music! So rude, yet so brilliant.

How would you like to see the local industry

develop in the years to come?DOLORES I would like it to be recognised as aprofessional industry and not just viewed aspretty girls taking their clothes off. We aremore than that. If you ask any professionalburlesque performer, they will tell you thatwhat we do is an art form, as it encompasses alot of time and effort to develop an act, idea,costume, etc. We are very passionate aboutwhat we do.Who are some of your favourite local

performers and why?IMOGEN My favourite burlesque performer inAustralia is Glita Supernova, who has beenaround for as long as I have and is one of my

best mates. She’s cheeky, glamorous,irreverent and completely unique. Other than

that, my favourites are Kellie Vella, TigerLil and Neridah Waters who are in

‘Tarnished’ with me, our burlesquecircus. They are highly skilled cir-cus and sideshow performers andI love what they do. I really think

that burlesque performers shouldhave some skills under their belt

before they step onstage. Anyone can

strip, not just anyone can dazzle. Otherinclude The Town Bikes, Amelia and Gypsy

Wood and Christa Hughes.DOLORES There are a few Australian burlesqueperformers that I think are pretty special. Tobe fair, I haven’t seen every burlesque dancerin the country so this list is based on per-formers I have worked with or seen perform.The performers I do admire are Tasia, Lolathe Vamp, Boylesque Boywonder, Sarah LeaCheesecake and L’Amour.

I would like the scene to be recognisedas a professional industry and not just

pretty girls taking their clothes off.Dolores Daiquiri

Sydneysiders were served up a tasty meal of burly-q last month at Hot Lunch, headlined byTasia and featuring Lillian Starr, Katherine Lam-bent and blues and soul band, Erin Black andthe Pageturners.

The marvellously talented Tasia first burstonto the burlesque scene several years as onethird of Belladonnas de Lux, one of Australia’smost well-loved burlesque troupes. Since the

girls parted ways, she has been steadily build-ing a successful solo burly career and is now afirm favourite on the local circuit at shows suchas 34B, A Velvet Affair and Black Cherry. Lastyear, Tasia toured around Australia with theGangster’s Ball and will feature in the Austral-ian Burlesque Festival later this year. However,Hot Lunch was her first-time as a headliner, anexperience which she thoroughly enjoyed.

“Hot Lunch was a blast! It was such apleasure to work in a gorgeous venue with an

amazing cast and crew, and I must thank Russalland Craig from Tenderloins for giving me such awonderful opportunity,” Tasia said.

Audiences feasted their eyes on Tasia’s open-ing number, her Lady in the Lamp art deco shad-ow act. She then debuted two new routines, in-cluding an exotic 60s gold Asian fantasy inspiredby the legendary Tura Santana. Meanwhile, herfinale saw her transform into a dangerous tiger-woman in a lifesize steel cage.

Fellow burly starlet Lillian Starr performed

her naughty dairymaid routine, sensuouslypulling at a rubber glove filled with milk withgreat finesse, and audience’s eyes watered asacrobat Katherine Lambent delicately balancedupon her lira.

“I am such a fan of The Vanguard,” said Tasia.“I feel that they are setting themselves up tobe Sydney’s new house of burlesque, as well asan amazing live music venue and I must say I dofeel very much at home there.”
