'A BOLT FROM THE BLUE!'

About Me

Hi My names Rodney, but everyone calls me Lightning! I'm an exotic dancer specialising in Burlesque routines. I love having fun and being myself. I was born in a storm, dragged kicking and screaming from the belly of the urban jungle. I belong to the streets and back alleys and prowl them at night like a crazy warrior of love. Can you smell the thunder? Lightning can't be far behind!Let me introduce my many friends who share this page - they love burlesque too;-LES DIAMONDS; Compere and crooner supreme. -THE ROYAL MALE; he always delivers. - DR RUPERT G HOOPER; just the tonic! - TASH: Beauty or Beast? - CUFF LYNX; Singer for pop chart sensations The Slip On's! -GINGER ROGER: Space Pirate and Time traveller. - THE SPHYNX; Wise and timeless. - REV GREG HARVEST; Notting Hill's local vicar (and bass player for Roots Reggae contenders 'Misty Mountain') - BOBBI APPLEZ: new jack swing in a basket. -BENNY BELL: Daredevil Extraordinary Bad Boyz for Life!!
