Miss Burlesque Australia



What a show! It was my pleasure to watch the Queensland heats of Miss Burlesque Australia. I'm currently in reconnoissance mode as I get my bearings in Brisbane. Getting to know the performers and organisers of Brisbane burlesque has been so much fun. 

The show was split into a two parts in addition to an evening wear parade and a lingerie parade. The first section was their traditional American style performance of no more than 2 minutes. The second a neo-burlesque performance and for the shortlisted final four performers, they were to do their unique performance. 

Alyssa Kitt and her traditional and unique act just blew me away. That girl is surely Australia's answer to Dirty Martini. Along with Ellashaye D'mour who we all just fell in love with (and who ultimately won the crown of Miss QLD) was a knockout in every act. 

The best bit for me (asides from the fab performances) was an endless array of devine costumes. Lace! Crystals! Sequins! I was in heaven. Plus I managed to snag a seat between the adorable Coppelia Jane who I saw perform at Debauchery a few weeks back, and Hotte Chocolate.

There's nothing quite like a night out with fabulous girls and a great show to inspire the creative spirit and I look forward to bringing Brisbane a new direction in Burlesque soon!
