VIXEN VIOLETTEVixen Violette can't decide if she is an alter ego, or if she has an alter ego.

He has produced and performed in such many L.A. Venues (so many in fact that it would be easier to list where he hasn't performed). He also has his own necktie company. His shows have a certain spectacle and glamour which help him stand out in crowded Los Angeles and is one of the many reasons why he is a part of our show. http://www.myspace.com/bobbieburlesque |

Guest Performance by RED SNAPPER"Sass, class and a black girl's ass" is only one of many ways to describe this performer. She brings with her a very impressive pedigree. She has studied pole dancing with Aphrodite Strip-N-Pole for two years. She's also had the amazing opportunity to study burlesque with several incredible performers: Miss Indigo Blue, Jo Boobs, Lux LaCroix, Jewel of Denial, Lili VonSchtupp, Vanity Flair, Scarlett Letter and Penny Starr, Jr. She's picked up more than a few things along the way and will be debuting a brand new number on the Bordello stage that isn't anything to sneeze at. http://www.myspace.com/ms_red_snapper |
