The Shanghai Pearl

The Tantalizing Temptress From Taipei!

About Me


The Shanghai Pearl is a burlesque artist and teacher with Miss Indigo Blue's Academy of Burlesque. This tempestuous temple of temptation infuses traditional bump and grind with her signature Shanghai sweetness. She's a veritable princess of pulchritude with a range that is broad; spanning the burlesque gamut from tantalizing tongue-in-cheek tease to absurd and irreverent vaudevillian vignettes. Her raunchy moxie and bravado are not to be missed! Catch her on a stage near you and allow her to Shanghai your heart!
