Salacious Siren

About Me

Lydia Libertine is a steaming hot burlesque siren reminiscent of the golden age of burlesque, vaudeville and Broadway musicals. She began her burlesque career in early 2005 as an original member of Atlanta’s first all-queer burlesque troupe the (now defunct) Dixie Pistols and has been teasing and tantalizing Atlanta audiences ever since. Ms. Libertine is available for hire to perform at your events!

Some of the numbers I have performed in the past: Fever, Coin Operated Boy, All That Jazz, Mein Herr, the Bathtub number (set to traditional burlesque music), I Want to Be Loved By You, Teacher's Pet, Too Darn Hot aka the Sailor number, I Want to Be Bad, Let Me Entertain You, In the Summertime and more!

Some of the places/events I have performed at in the past: The Clermont Lounge, Bellissima, My Sister's Room (Decatur and East Atlanta), The Five Spot, The Eyedrum, Spring 4th Center, The Red Light Cafe, Atlanta Pride 2008, Mondo Homo Teaser Party 2007, Phobia, The Sweaty South Queer and Trans Convergence, Blue Lights in the Basement benefit for Pee Wee, Angels of Sin: A benefit for Charis Circle, as the opening act for Doria Roberts and many more! I have performed as a member of the Dixie Pistols Queer Burlesque Revue and with Moxie: A Queer Cabaret of Caliber.
