Holly deLite
Holly deLite, our own southern belle, was born in Merkin County in Southern Mississippi where she competed locally in county fair pageants and earned the prestigious title of Miss SaltWater Taffy 1995. Shortly thereafter she was whisked away to Paris in the arms of a French lover where she studied song, dance, and music, specifically ballet and the mouth-harp. Miss deLite fast became the beloved star of Paris' own Maisson Derriere but longed again for the sweet smells of her southern homeland. Leaving Europe behind, Holly took her skills back to America to perform closer to home.

Lola Begonia
Lola Begonia was born into the carnival sideshow and gained great fame performing exotic belly dance with her identical twin sister until a ill fated attempt to incorporate venomous cobras into the show left Ms. Begonia as a solo act. Devestated, the twin ran away with the circus where she turned her skills to the air and wowed audiences of the big top. After tiring of the nomadic lifestyle of circus trade, Miss Begonia once again used her wiggling skills to tease and excite as a burlesque dancer, where at least her dressing room wasn't on wheels and elephant adjacent.

Bettie Fun-Fetti
Beatrice Fiore grew up on the streets of Rio and became a Mardi Gras Carnivale dancer and performer at the tender age of twelve. After discovering her life-threatening allergy to feathers, Miss Fiore left Brazil to journey to America and follow her life long dream of opening a bakery. So famous was her Carnivale inspired confetti cake that she became known by it's name, Fun-Fetti. Sadly, after discovering a life-threatening allergy to sprinkles, she left behind the bakery and dusted off her stilletos to find work as a dancer in American burlesque clubs.

Cinnamon Applesauce
Hailing from a chilly town in Alaska, Cinnamon Applesauce came to the states to support her tuba-playing boyfriend's dream of joining a country-western band. Ever the supportive mate, Ms. Applesauce took a delivery job at a haberdashery while she attended night school pursuing a degree in computer programming. Whilst on delivery of a lovely top hat belonging to the host of a local cabaret, our small town girl was mistaken for a performer and thrust on stage with nothing but a fan in her hand and a smile on her face. The audience was so smitten by her sweet charm that she was hired on the spot, and her boyfriend was offered a place in the house band (which he declined, as it was neither country nor western).

Suga' Domino
The sweetest tough-girl from Detroit, Suga' Domino's first brush with burlesque was purely accidental. Bored with her job at a local meat-packing plant and looking for some excitement, Ms. Domino discovered a clogging class in the studio upstairs and quickly enrolled. It was during her first recital, where her mediocre clogging number to Fats Domino's "Sweet Patootie" was coolly received, that our petite performer suffered a "wardrobe malfunction". The audience so warmed to her now scantily clad dance that she received a standing ovation AND an offer to join a local burlesque troupe. As Ms. Domino says, "I look better in heels than clogs anyway!"
