Peachey Dream (Miss Burlesque Melbourne) was also a wonderful person to meet. She has a witty sense of humour and many brilliant attributes. She is studying like crazy as well as forging ahead in the Australian burlesque scene, and I heart her! Her first show had her as a naughty but nice Alice in a Wonderland of booze glorious booze, and a teacup mysteriously appearing from her mouth! In her second show she was a stunning mermaid in a shell who suddenly discovers her feet.
Becky Lou (Miss Burlesque Tasmania) will always be fabulous in my eyes for introducing me to "Clitter" and for helping me develop my assle infomercials (haha private jokes are awesome!). She is also the sexiest woman I have ever met and I think I might have embarassed myself by telling her this repeatedly (I'm not a crazy stalker Becky I swear!). Playing an alley cat in her first show she made old banana peels and dead rats look sexy. In her second show she introduced us to her "twins", which are found on the most creative costume ever. I want puppets on my boobs!
Clara Cupcakes (Miss Burlesque Western Australia) and I go back a long way. Ok, not so far back, but it feels like it! A woman of many talents, Clara is taking on the burlesque scene with a hula hooping, tassel twirling fury. She flew straight from the New York Burlesque festival to compete, lugging a stack of 30 hoops with her! I miss her and her crazy cupcake beanie! Her first show embodied a hula hooping fembot (Austin Powers anyone?) and her second show had her as the creamy filling of a giant cupcake. Love it!
Briana Bluebell (Miss Burlesque New South Wales) is a lovely lady witha bright and cheerful personality. Her costumes are stunning and so is she! I didn't get to see her first show, but I do now it included a lit up runway and "Highway to the Danger Zone" so I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it when I see the video! I did get to see her second show, and let me emphasize show. It was incredible! Giant ancient egyptian props adorned the stage, as well as hunky egyptian manservants. Briana then bathed in a pool of gold glitter. It was pretty spectacular.

Ruby Right, also known as Ruby Wrong, is Miss Burlesque Hobart. I didn't get to see either of her acts! I think she was on right after me or therabouts, so I wasn't hanging in the wings watching. Such a shame, because her acts sounded fabulous. Her first show seems to have involved baking and some strategically placed cupcakes, and her second act as a gore fest of zombies and sequinned intestines. Can't wait to see the video!
I am very happy to say that The Strawberry Siren (Miss Burlesque Victoria) was able to perform, after falling ill the day before the show. We stuck her in quarantine and she emerged a full of burlesquey goodness. I didn't see her first show, but her second show, a lyra piece, was absolutely breathtaking. I had a perfect view of the stage and it was absolutely stunning. Strawberry is also a lovely person to be around, very down to earth and humble. I hope to work with her again soon!
And lastly...there's me! I feel pretty good about my performances, though they probably weren't the best. A combination of nerves and freezing cold back stage had my legs pretty wobbly, but I'm fairly happy with how I performed! I performed my "Lady Luck" act, which is fast becoming my favourite. I think I actually performed this better in the heats! I also performed a classic piece inspired by the myths of the east that were floating around in the 20s and 30s, using my favourite prop, my sword.
See part 4 for the results and my final thoughts on the competition!
