Miracle Whips Burlesque

the sting means it's working!

About Me

We work to deconstruct the transparency of femininity, to create radical erotic possibilities, and to disrupt conventional notions of sexiness. We are a non-competitive feminist collective that whips the status quo into shape. To love us is to love all things genderqueer; to savor fat, skinny and in-between; and to stand (in heels) against all social inequalities. Our shows hurt like a good spanking, providing just enough sting to make you remember what you’ve learned!
