"Bringing Queen City [Burlesque Festival] to life had a lot to do with wanting to apply what I had learned from being on the road. I volunteered at the Burlesque Hall of Fame for several years in a row as a tech assistant; I've volunteered at the Vancouver Burlesque Festival a few years in a row as well, and I've performed there; many of my friends are producers. It was really important to me to elevate what I was seeing, or what I wanted to bring to the table, and really offer exponential and incredible, sensational art for not only for [other burlesque performers] but obviously for the theater-goers. I want people to come to a burlesque show and realize this is art, that this is passion and it's an experience; and it's not just being at a bar and everyone being hammered and taking their clothes off; it can be that and that is its own thing, [but] that [theatre] environment is what I thrive on, that is what I love to create, to offer diversity and the talent." Burlesque artist Déjà Louve has been thrilling audiences in British Columbia for more than 9 years. She and Viktor Devonne talk about ancestry, languages, accent marks, and running one's own festival, The Queen City Burlesque Festival.

"When it comes to my work, I'm not going to make stuff that's so esoteric and so personal and emotional that no one can access it; that's not entertainment... I've tried doing pieces where I was very weird and abstract and it's not satisfying. It's very satisfying if you can get somebody hooked in, if you can challenge somebody's thoughts about what what burlesque is; I think that's great. But I really can't get down with 'Well this is my art and these are my feelings and I'm just going to explode all over the stage and you're just going to have to watch'' I just don't think that that's thoughtful. I think you have to be thoughtful about your audience if you're going to go in front of an audience." Red Rum is a shocking talent based in Chicago, known for burlesque recreations of some of horror's greatest hits (Hellraiser! The Thing! Star Wars! They Live! The Dark Crystal!) as well as ooky spooky original creations. This 2023 Siler Tusk Award winner for Monster Smash and Viktor talk taglines, makeup, sacred material, real life villains (her pantheon of Baddies) and what's 'too soon,' getting denied by Uber drivers, audience members doing the sign of the cross, what's actually scary, feeling sexy, and whether we'll ever see her on Dragula.

"I love anything glam. I am very much that person who I wants to add glitter and rhinestones to absolutely everything I can. Even in my professional work, any time we're doing a show or they're like 'let's add some glitter' I'm like mu-ha-ha, you asked for it."

"I guess I've always been like a champion for the misfits, those who just don't belong; whatever that is. And I hope that people who see our show will feel that they can do it too, that they can take chances, that they can be naked; they don't have to hate their bodies just because society tells them [to.]... I just want people to smile, to feel good." Mika Romantic from Lehigh Valley, PA shares her story with Viktor, from the beginning of doing glove reveal classes for housewives to now running her own production company. We go in on topics like the Pussycat Dolls, her first act with the New York School of Burlesque which was an ambitious six minutes, awful dressing rooms, Harley Quinns that count, identifying as otaku, the desired MGM spectacular, feeling aged out, everyone fighting with each other, and embracing "the rotting phase."

"I just want to hopefully help end erasure in our scene and for everyone to have a moment of self-discovery and self-ideology and a moment of 'let me check myself, let me go ahead and try to go ahead and learn about this' and then spread that knowledge to somebody else." Bella Sin returns to the pod to discuss the project Decolinizing Burlesque, which is being made available for FREE this November, aiding in the amplifciation of BIPOC and queer burlesque performers in history who are often forgotten. Bella Sin is a powerhouse in Cleveland, Ohio as an entertainer, a makeup mogul, festival producer, and educator. They attained The Mentor Award distinction at the Silver Tusk Awards 2023.
