Sapphire Demure kicked off the night with her classic routine, though her costume gave her a case of hayfever (stage hayfever that is)! This is one of my favourite costumes of the night, so many intricate details. Her unique routine later in the night was a feat of skill, as she cut up a rug 20s charleston style en pointe! I hope people realise just what an amazing skill this is. Sapphire is such a fabulous entertainer and person, and it was great getting to know her a little bit better. She was the wildcard entry from SA and I think she put on a fantastic show.
Next on stage was Ellashaye D'Amour. Ellashaye is Miss Burlesque Queensland and she certainly is a pocket rocket! (not the dirty kind, the cute, full of energy and amazingness kind). She is one of the loveliest people I've met, with some AMAZING costumes. Plus she has amazing control over her butt cheeks, which had the audience in stitches! Her first act was as Marie Antoinette, the dignified side and the racy side. Her unique show was a rendition of Marilyn Murnoe's "Heat Wave" with some spunky back up dancers.
Fellow South Australian Flavella L'Amour (Miss Burlesque South Australia) looked gorgeous in a costume draped in pearles and sequins, and looking absolutely fabulous peeking out from behind her feather fans. Unfortunately I didn't get to see that act, but the photos look beautiful and I look forward to seeing the video! Her second act was a knockout with her serpent companion, I'm pretty sure that's not what the audience expected her to pull from her box!
Danica Lee (Miss Burlesque Sydney) looked stunning in the outfit for her classic routine. Unfortunately I didn't get to see this act on stage, but again the hoots from the stage told me the audience loved it! I did get to see Danica Lee's unique show, in which she emerges as a (almost) naked and innocent Eve in the Garden of Eden, only to have to don clothes (or fabulous feathers I should say!). However once that saucy bump n grind music is on, sometimes a lady just can't help herself! Danica was lovely to work with at the event, thanks for all your help Danica!
Amelie Lulu (Miss Burlesque Brisbane) seems like such a sweet and innocent thing went you chat to her off stage, but once she's on there HUBBA HUBBA! Such a sexy kitten. Her classic routine is another I didn't get to see, but the photos look hawt! Her unique act, involving her as a giant cotton candy with a bit of a fetish for lollipops was fantastic! I'd also like to say she was wearing the most beautiful dress after the show!
Rita Fontaine was the wildcard entry from Sydney, and unfortunately I didn't get to talk to her too much, as things were fairly crazy in the lead up to the event! I managed to see both of Rita Fontaine's performances however, and they were stellar! Her first act as Julia Gillard had me (and everyone else!) in stitches. The sheer creativity and balls behind it were awesome. Punchline followed punchline. Her second show was as her male character, Johnny Castrati. I can tell you now, Rita Fontaine makes a devilishly handsome man!
Ginger LaMinge (Miss Burlesque Perth) is an absolute gem. We hung out quite a bit whilst in Sydney and not only is she a hilarious and amazing performer on stage, she is a barrel of laughs and just full of awesomeness. I miss her already! Her first show was a tounge in cheek fan dance, and her unique act involved her twirling tassels on every possible surface (knees, elbows, head!) as well as an onstage brawl with her partner in crime, Peachey Dream!
So as not to bombard you with super long posts I have split this one into two parts...
