Introducing "the tease"

I appeared in the *Adelaide Magazine on the 30th of September which can be found in the Advertiser. I was interviewed by Katie Spain who is a fabulous writer and who will also be making her Burlesque debut at the next Peaches 'n' Gin show!

INBOX: Introducing the tease. Meet Luna Eclipse, an environmental management student who's a finalist in Miss Burlesque Australia



AGE: 23

STAGE NAME: She's been Luna as long as she can remember. It started as a compliment:"Who knows how much they were exagerrating, or if they were trying to get lucky, but someone said I eclipsed everyone else on stage".

DECKED OUT: Luna has more than 50 costumes. "My favourite is my poker costume - a tutu covered in cards, poker chip pasties, bright red shoes. What's not to like?"

MISCONCEPTIONS: "Some people still expect us to take everything off, or move in ways that leave nothing to the imagination. Burlesque is not always about stripping. Most burlesque is comedic, or even political. Whilst the glamarous striptease is an important part of burlesque, it's not the only aspect."

DAILY GRIND: As well as performing, Luna also teaches burlesque, swing dancing and belly dancing, and is completing an environmental management degree.

PARTY TRICKS: Luna has plenty of experience in belly dancing but can also "balance a sword just about anywhere, throw my fans around in the air, and twirl a mean tassel!"

HOME TOWN: "Burlesque culture in Adelaide is amazing! It's still a relatively new scene, but is charging to the forefornt."

GET INVOLVED: Check her out at www.peachesngin.com. "We can teach you to strut, sashay and shimmy like the burlesque stars of days gone by. Everyone has it in them to be a confident, sexy and glamarous gal."
