Tassel twirling, fan dancing, fire eating neo-burlesque performer!

About Me

Welcome to the delightful world of Misty Lux: tassel twirling, fire eating, neo-burlesque performer.
Hailing from the distant shores of merry ol' England Misty Lux, a tantalising mix of glamorous flame haired temptress and cheeky cheesecake showgirl, has packed up her tassels and now brings her unique brand of burlesque to the USA!
Misty had been acting for over 15 years when she decided to mix her love of the stage, glamour, vaudeville and circus and took to the stage in early 2007 to perform her first burlesque show. She quickly established herself as a talented and unique performer gaining bookings up and down the UK. Misty has a passion for exploring all areas of burlesque resulting in a wide variety of performances that span everything from dark and dramatic, to comedic and upbeat to glamorous and seductive with some fan dancing, tassel twirling and fire in between!
Before her move to the States Misty was not only a resident performer at premier burlesque and cabaret show Carnival Divine but also performed over 50 shows at a variety of events the length of the UK including various Burlesque Shows, Tattoo Conventions, The London Burlesque Festival, Fetish Events, and a major UK music Festival. She has also appeared in both local and national press, been featured in a burlesque documentary, acted in a TV sitcom pilot and modelled for an independent clothing company. Misty is currently revamping her current acts and devising some brand new ones, contact her here for rates and bookings.


WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY!:
"Misty Lux - a very inventive burlesque performer who obviously puts a lot of thought into her routines, and also a lot of practice. Her costumes are always inspired and she has a radiating onstage charisma that always gets an audience on her side. Thoroughly recommended by us, Misty has performed at many of our events and we would have no hesitation in booking her again. Very professional but also flexible and easy going - a pleasure to work with!"
Warren Speed - Growling Clown Entertainment
*****
Misty Lux is a favourite at Angelcake Burlesque. Her ideas are always creative and beautifully put together as well as often having a real sense of fun! Misty clearly puts a lot of effort into props and costume and her acts provide a real visual treat for the audience. She is a pleasure to work with, has a great attitude and she is always very professional. I would highly recommend hiring Misty Lux to any promoter.
Miss Ruby Fortune - Promoter and Organiser of Angelcake Burlesque, Manchester

"Misty Lux! Where do i start?! How about the most promising, most fun, determined, professional and pretty damn sexiest performer we have both met! An extremely valued memeber of the team here at Carnival Divine! Carnival Divine would not be the same without Misty!"
Rob McCann - Promoter and Organiser of Carnival Divine Manchester

"...but it was Misty Lux who stole the night with her performance to Christina Aguilera, Fighter. Her performance was sexy and every move was polished."
Stephen Bailey - remotegoat.co.uk. (Review of Carnival Divine June 2008)

CATCH MISTY LIVE AT:


Music:

I pretty much like most stuff except dance! Basically- if it sounds good chances are I'll bop along!

Movies:

I'm a big fan of comedy or things with a "wow, I didn't see that coming" twist at the end. I love Tim Burton movies! I really don't like modern horror since I watched 'Dawn of the Dead' and couldn't go anywhere alone for about 3 weeks. (No seriously. Those zombies are really fast- I wouldn't stand a chance in heels). Although I really enjoy classic horror!

Television:

Mainly comedy stuff- I seriously LOVE Spaced, it's genius! I also like My name is Earl, Ugly betty... that kinda thing! I LOVE Scrubs and wish real life was that funny! I hate reality TV and don't have the discipline (or inclination!) to watch soaps. Oh, but saying that, I do love Wife Swap!

Books:

At the moment I'm loving 'Burlesque and the art of the Teese' by Dita Von Teese (yeah, big suprise, I know!). I love art and photography books, 'Everything that Creeps' by Liz McGrath is seriously cool! My fave book ever is probably 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath and everyone likes a bit of Shakespeare (yeah, I'm a geek!) 'Live in a Better Way' by the Dalai Lama is one of the most inspirational books I've ever read. 'Prozac Nation' is probably the most overrated book I've ever read and 'American Psycho' seriously made me wanna puke! I love the Harry Potter books to a freaky degree!! Erm... does Bizarre magazine count?!

Heroes:

Anyone who follows their heart and dares to be different!
