About Me

Because paste is delicious, but pasties are just plain fun!
Fire and Ice is a small Burlesque and variety show troupe based out of the Amherst/Pioneer Valley region of Massachusetts. Our goal is to pay homage to old-style Burlesque in a new and different way. This is where activism meets exhibitionism! This is for those of us who think that Rosie the Riveter would look great with a garter belt and fishnets...
