About Me

Diamond Ice: A cool blonde headline honey whose signature performance is the classic fan dance. Little is known about her, save for what she reveals on stage. Voted Creative Loafing's (Atlanta) Readers' Choice Best Burlesque Perfomer 2006. Alternate for Best Debut at Miss Exotic World 2007
Iron Lily: Once called "the rootin'-est, tootin'-est, highfalutin'-est cowgirl" ever to grace the stage, she riles up her audience with her swagger and smile...not to mention this brunette bombshell's love of wearing chaps...temporarily. 3rd place Horsepower in the Park Pin-Up 2007.
Rouge V.: The ruthless and dangerous Ringleader of the Carnival of Souls who offers fame at a very high price.
Evangeline: The high society southern torch singer with a pechant for the morbid and macabre.
Carpathia: Queen of Horses: An equine enchantress added to the Carnival of Souls.
Big City Burlesque booking: [email protected] or snail mail: PO Box 672, Avondale Estates GA 30002
