Born and bred a Southern Belle in the American Bible Belt, Ms Cat Aclysmic has thrown off her genteel roots to wreak havoc in the wilds of Scotland.

Cat gets her kicks as a burlesque performer and actress, where she has more fun than is probably legal. Not content to be a pretty face, Cat Aclysmic is a trained fire breather, fire eater, and body burner and can infuse any act with her wicked sense of humour and explosive energy. She runs and performs at Glasgow's only Rock and Roll burlesque night Rockaburley! with glamour girl and performer extraordinaire Daiquiri Dusk. For news updates add www.myspace.com/rockaburley - our next date is December 31st for The Rockaburley Ball!Cat Aclysmic recently opened up the Skinny Magazine Website launch with another pyromaniacal performance which can be seen here:
Cat Aclysmic's acts range from sweetly deviant to passionately perverse, and she'll gladly show off her training as a make up artist and costumer to good use when making costumes that look as hot on as they do off. For booking information contact her via Myspace, www.rhymeswithpurple.net/cataclysmic or www.modelmayhem.com/cataclysmic.
Curious? Well here are just a few of the acts this Southern Firebrand can whip out:
Roxanne: A lady of night gets ready to go out on the search for business. This wicked reverse strip, a twist on the classic strip tease is sensuous, sexy and has an end worth looking out for.
Have Love Will Travel: Ever try to hitch a ride? Well this rockabilly girl who bears a striking resemblance to a certain beehived soul singer breaks out of rehab and loses more than her hospital gown while trying to bring a car and driver to a standstill. A raucous rock and roll strip tease to the Sonics.
The Bearded Lady: A circus themed strip tease with a belter of a finale. Vibrant, smooth and shocking - you think you know what's under the veil? This colorful act is sure to get a reaction.
Rockabilly Geisha: Cat Aclysmic displays all the delicacy and refinement of an Eastern lady of art.... until the music changes! A stunningly costumed and elegant strip tease and fan dance.
Tiki Torch: A Hawaiian princess delights in this island themed rockabilly strip with a ferocious fire fan dance finale. A great final act to any night.
Fire Safety: Cat Aclysmic takes the stage as an amateur fire safety inspector combining slapstick and sex in a scorching act that walks you through all the things you shouldn't do with fire! A ten minute act that's been a major crowd pleasure at the debut of the Shoreditch Shuffle, a new London arts festival and will be a highlight of any show!
Cat Aclysmic offers a range of fire acts: fire fans, fire breathing, fire eating, and body burning and will use any excuse whatsoever to light up. The only thing Cat Aclysmic loves more than raising eyebrows is raising Hell.

I'd like to meet:


Though born with a natural allergy to small talk, Ms Aclysmic makes the effort to meet people whenever presented with a drink, a smile, or a designer gown (preferably Dior or McQueen, but she's not too choosy). Bad habits include a tendency to refer to herself in the third person and the ability to make truly atrocious knitwear. Most of all she prides herself on her friends, her writing, and her need to do something different and do it well - passion and talent are the two most important qualities you can have, second only to nice tits and style.
