About Me

Vagina Jenkins is Creative Loafing's Best Burlesque Dancer '08!

I am a burlesque performer, to put it simply. But putting it simply doesn't sum up the grandeur, grace, class and glitz I put into my act.

Think Vegas, think Faberge' eggs, think of Ms. America's tiara, think RuPaul as a Mac spokesperson, think Eartha Kitt, think showgirl, think sparkly, shiny things---now you're somewhere in the vacinity of Vagina Jenkins.

For 6 years I have been shocking, awing and creating memories for Atlanta/Southern audiences. Here's just a few things folks have to say about lil ol' moi:

"In burlesque, it’s less about what you take off and more about how you do it: the coy glances, the fluttering feather fans and, yes, the pasties. VAGINA JENKINS has been performing for five years, and is one of the city’s sexiest acts. She shimmies and struts on stages around town, and performs with such local musical acts as Noot ‘D Noot and burlesque troupes Blast-Off Burlesque and Syrens of the South. She spends most of her sultry show teasing the audience with playful glimpses of her voluptuous figure, smooth coffee-and-cream skin, and tattoos running along the curves of her hips. With a blend of old-school glamour and modern sensuality, Vagina Jenkins makes for a tempting dish."

-Creative Loafing magazine, Best Burlesque Dancer '08

"Vagina Jenkins makes the simple allure of burlesque into something far more sophisticated and complex. Her act transcends her peers, reaching a sublime balance of intoxicating sexiness and innovative art"

-James McConnell, Beep Beep Gallery

"A few numbers in and local performer Vagina Jenkins prances out like a red and black peacock. She doesn't say a word, and instead relies on her piercing gaze and tattooed hips to summon attention."

-Debbie Michaud, Creative Loafing Atlanta

"The classy plus-sized Vagina Jenkins was... a welcome shot of chocolate."

-Perry Tannenbaum, Creative Loafing Charlotte

"Vagina Jenkins has never failed to impress me. Vagina is one of the most creative, dynamic, and engaging performers in neo-burlesque today. Her stage presence and costuming talent combine for an act that draws and captures audience attention. She is unique, committed to the development and evolution of her craft, and sincerely invested in bringing the best she can to every audience. In addition to delivering the goods on stage, Vagina is an extremely well-organized, professional, and reliable member of the cast and can be counted on to meet, if not exceed, all of your expectations."

-Rachael Smith, The Femme Mafia Donna

"Vagina Jenkins has the crowd begging for more...one of the top stars in Atlanta’s queer burlesque scene"

-Dyana Bagby, Southern Voice Magazine
