- Alaska Blue's Burlesque Balloon Bingo! - inspired by Timberlina, bingo hostess with the mostess at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, Alaska has created a bingo balloon dance.

Someone will win an exciting prize at the end!

(How you like them peaches? How you like them peaches, bitch?)- The birthday party - to Ooh La La by Goldfrapp. Alaska gets three beautiful bird hats for her birthday, but they don't seem to match her outfit...

Alaska Blue was born in a gutter in Coney Island at some point in the early 70s. Her mother didn't survive the birth, and she was 'cared' for by her father until he was imprisoned for homicide when Alaska was 13 years old. Alaska returned to the gutter, foraging for food until one day a man said he'd buy her a chilli dog if she'd take her clothes off. She never looked back.
In the 1980s Alaska's shocking pink poodle perm caught the eye of a certain brat pack actor, who plied Alaska with illegal substances and whisked her off to London. When she staggered out of a hotel the next morning, she was dazzled by the bright lights of Soho and knew she'd never go back. She shaved 10 years off her age, took elocution lessons, and launched herself on the London burlesque scene.
**********************************************************
As well as performing in surreal burlesque acts around the city, Alaska now makes hats and headpieces to order. She specialises in making it look like a bird has landed on your head, but if you tell her what you want on your hat (feathers, flowers, rats, bats, cakes, butterflies, teacups etc etc), she'll find a way of putting it there. Just send her a message! Photos in the 'hats' and 'hats and burlesque' albums. More photos coming SOON.

See if you can spot me dancing like a lunatic in Ida Maria's Queen of the World video. I'm the one with the flamingo on my head.I'm not in it much, tragically. Clearly because she was in danger of being upstaged by my superior headwear.
