About Me

Miss Fleur du Mal, the Bad Flower of burlesque, a character as contradictory as her name suggests. A delicate flower, graceful and feminine, with a playful streak and an occasionally shown naughty side. A Burlesquer, dancer and performance artiste who can turn her hand to comedy or elegance with equal success. A model with a predilection for vintage-style pinup and fetish, with their intriguing complementary nature. A brunette bombshell with a love of vintage glamour and bang-up-to-date fun.

On october 9th, Fleur du Mal launches Bonne Nuit Speakeasy, bringing burlesque to the streets of Leicester!

To buy advance tickets, visit www.badflower.co.uk and go to the Bad Flower Boutique!

PLUS new routine: "Deco-dence"!

A beautiful Art Deco inspired routine, showcasing Fleur's uniquely created stained glass fans. Elegant and stately, this routine wows when seen under stage lighting

If you would like to use my banner (for whatever reason) please ask first!

I am now a proud member of the Burly Photo Co-operative, a group of models, performers, photographers, make-up artists and designers who love the art of burlesque! Our first venture took place in September down in London town, and you can see the results by looking at my photo albums or by clicking the banner below. We're on the lookout for a venue for our second shoot, hopefully in the spring!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other dancers, performers or artists, burlesque or fetish enthusiasts, or anyone who thinks they'd like to talk to me. Plus anyone who'd like me to perform or model for them.

IMPORTANT: I have changed my privacy settings and no longer take friend requests from bands! If you think I'd like your band please send me a message instead. In fact, whoever you are, please send me a message before you add me telling me why you want me on your list! I get too many dodgy requests to sort through them all and a request with no message or explanation may well be denied.

Injury tally

Well it's a weekend of big gigs for me. Tonight is a Ministry of Burlesque show, and tomorrow night is an agency job. Both important to me in different ways. But since it's a big weekend where I wa...

SEEL laws and the burlesque petition - is it a bit OTT?

So the buzz in the burly community is currently about the new Sex Encounter Establishment Licensing laws. If you've not heard of these before, the idea is that strip clubs and lap dancing venues are ...

Self-censorship

To what extent do we censor ourselves on the internet? How many of us say what we actually think? I know that I don't a lot of the time. Internet fora are notorious for conversations between real p...

Identity crises and how they relate to performance

The other day I realised just how troubled I've been recently when a throwaway comment turned into a long conversation involving a tear or two. I knew I'd been preoccupied, but I hadn't quite realise...

A life changing decision - but in a good way?

A few weeks ago I tweeted (yes, I Twitter, and of course I follow Stephen Fry ...) about a decision I had made that day which could potentially be life changing. I had been to visit my GP and she had...

Body image pressures? Not what you'd expect

Today was a stressful day. I couldn't really tell you why, if asked. A combination of insomnia, stress about filling in my tax self-assessment forms, and the apparent confirmation of the plan to mak...

Development

I've just had an inkling. It's a very small inkling, but one which I'm hoping, with enough care and attention, will turn into an epiphany. The question is, how to make it make that transition ...I'm...

Who watches the Watchmen? Probably not me ...

It's been an aeon since my last blog, but I don't intend to fall into that style again. Records of my performances can't have been that interesting to read ...I'm a geek, self-confessed and proud of ...
