burlesque name

I need a Burlesque name! I'm really not that imaginative when it comes to words - I'm much better at making things pretty. I've been asking around, and the top 3 choices are:

1) Mimi Martini
2) Maple Rouge
3) Missy Marmalade

Any thoughts?

Debut

First off, I MUST appologise for leaving you all hanging for almost a month. I'm currently SUPER busy working on 5 shows at once!

Currently playing - ROPE, directed by Iain Sinclair at Bondi Pavillion.

Next - A LITTLE ROOM, created and directed by Michelle St. Anne.

but.....



Guess what?

I've got my BURLESQUE DEBUT in 2 weeks!
How exciting!

I'll be performing at Miss Sarina del Fuego's Australian Farewell party. It's a "cabaret" style night with french jazz singers, so I'm doing a very "cabaret" themed piece to a sultry Nina Simone number. I'm very excited to get back into my dancing shoes! It's been too long since I've been ON stage - I'm normally stuck behind it! Or behind the camera! I'm finishing my red rose corset off with a few crystals, sparkly beads and a fringe skirt, and I'm making a pair of gloves and a top hat to match.

However, I'm stuck on finding a good pair of cheap Mary Janes. Does anyone know of a great Mary Jane in Australia under $100? I'm quite poor.

Catch me at The Art Lounge on June 23rd!
