About Me

HIV Nurse by day, burlesque misfit by night, Mademoiselle Jezebel and her dance partner Miss Fixx have been tearing up the burlesque stages of Vancouver, Canada’s feminist burlesque scene since 2003. Known for their potent blend of old and new, mixing vintage costumes with neoburlesque music and a heady dose of political satire their numbers always leave a lingering impression. Miss Fixx and Jez got their start at the Creole Kitty show, producing and dancing in a burlesque benefit for HIV in Haiti featuring Sweet Soul Burlesque and other fabulous Vancouver performers. After the Creole show, our illustrious super mamas have been regulars at Lick's many Dyke March ‘Hot and Horny’ fundraisers for the Vancouver LGBT community. They have also performed at East Van's In the House festival, The Vancouver International Burlesque Festival’s Heartbreaker Revue, the Sistahood Festival’s St Paddy’s Day Cabaret, Sweet Soul Sassacre at the Red Room and Comic Strip Burlesque at the Japan Centre. In 2005 the girls started workin' it with Chaz Royal's Burlesque Social and have shaked it for CR's Warchild Benefit at the Plaza and the Shimmy Shakers Weekend at the Lamplighter. Recently relocated to London to complete her Masters in Public Health, Jezebel's latest performance was for the SOAS Women Society's production of Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues.
