Cabaret of Curiositease at Berlin Burlesque Week 2019!

Fifi Fantôme & La Viola Vixen presented Cabaret of Curiositease as part of Berlin Burlesque Week 2019!

This night circus was a Bizarre World of Wonder! The most gothic show of the week, it featured circus, neo-burlesque and dark cabaret. Above is MisSa Blue in glittering gold. She is an amazing performer and swallowed a flaming sword!
There was Dunja Von K, who I’ve drawn often, doing a spooky uncanny Valley routine! I knew she wouldn’t mind my doing a kinda creepy take on this routine.

Seymour Bottoms, a creepy yet sexy yet creepy clown!
Hedoluxe was very uncanny, and yet so seductive!

MC Elsie Marley had several fabulous costume changes!

Black Swan performer at Berlin Burlesque Week June 29 2019 by Suzanne ForbesI gotta get the name of this Black Swan style gothic performer.

She was amazing and her costume fabulous; I was just so delirious at the end of a week of some six separate drawing events that I didn’t catch her name.

Performer and Shimmy Shake School burlesque teacher La Loba Balucia  blew my comic-artist mind with this. I was losing it with happiness but still managed to draw two pictures of her.La Labo Balucia performs Rorschach Burlesque at Shimmy Shake Show at Ballhaus Berlin by Suzanne Forbes April 10 2019

That’s some meta-textual feminist neo-burlesque for ya! Amazing costume, amazing shake.Noeline la Bouche at Shimmy Shake Show at Ballhaus Berlin by Suzanne Forbes April 10 2019

And legend Noéline la Bouche sang AND danced AND performed veil fans, while undressing!

Pretty darn fabulous! Noéline works really hard and performs all over, I try to catch her as often as I can.
