Burlesque

  • Holly on stage at ABF, New Follies, 2022

    Blazin' Green

    This is Holly’s act inspired by burlesque icon Blaze Starr (specifically between 1950 - 1954), Tempest Storm and Bettie Page. It is a ballsy bump-and-grind routine to a big band soundtrack which has been greatly researched with love and respect to our fore-mothers.

  • Holly on stage at MxNSW 2022, performing her 'Gibson Girl' act

    Gibson Girl

    This is Holly’s act inspired by the late Victorian era and the ‘Gibson Girl’, with a whip cracking, dominating twist.

    Inspired by the archetype of the “ideal woman”, a woman who enjoys the restriction of being bound but who doesn’t need saving. She isn’t a ‘damsel in distress’. Utilising kink and themes of dominance and submission, she explores the paradoxical fantasy between being the ideal woman who is fragile and charming but also dominant and ferociously in control - this is one of the themes that the Gibson Girl played with in many of Charles Dana Gibsons illustrations.

  • Holly performing her sugary sweet, bondage inspired act in Melbourne, 2018

    Bondage Barbie

    One of Holly’s earliest’s acts, inspired by her love of bondage, kink and vintage pin-ups but with a sugary, sweet twist.

    This is an act inspired by Bettie Page’s “Kamera Club” films by Irving Law during the 1950s. A cute routine to a heavy metal track, juxtaposing strip movements with very pin-up facial expressions.
