"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.

"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.

"I think we're a generation that recognizes that acknowledging and shining a light on people is important--to them, and to us. It makes me feel better when I can shine a light on someone and say 'Look what they did.'" Desiré D'Amour has been stripping since the 90s, and in burlesque for nearly 24 years. Telling tales from the San Francisco strip club to the legendary goat ranch years of Exotic World to the current incarnation of Burlesque Hall of Fame (and its spectacular Weekender), Desiré shares with Viktor thoughts on bridging the gap between historical burlesque and its present incarnation, proper pronouncing and advocating for correcting others, jealousy, diversity versus tokenism, learning from Harvest Moon and the Cantankerous Lollies, that famous backbend, what is and is not and is and is not burlesque (and being open to reconsidering), the evidently contentious response to the royal court of Miss Exotic World 2023, technology affecting burlesque and industry connection, the purpose of Ranch Undressing, and maybe a glimmer of what's to come.

"Oh, there was always a fight or two in the dressing room, someone getting her hair pulled. But most of us were fucking each other, so we got along pretty well." Madame E. tells all the best stories from the debauchery and fun (and serious work!) of stripping in Honolulu, Guam, and beyond before the neoburlesque boom of the late 80s and 90s. Recognized rightfully as a burlesque legend, Madame E has returned to the stage in her 70s, soon to feature at Fat-lesque in Seattle come January 2024, and was recently seen at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in June of this year, peeling it off to a medley of Moody Blues and Billy Idol. But his rock chick has soulful roots in the burlesque scene, largely dancing to the blues for the likes of Pee Wee Herman, Rod Stewart, and Bill Cosby! We could only cover so much in this brief storytime but you'll be enchanted by every word, and we'll bring her back soon to tell us even more dish we couldn't cover. But we did manage to include a few tidbits on her peers in the legends circle, from Toni Elling to Bambi Jones to Bic Carroll to Dixie Evans. Viktor Devonne has, since this recording, been adopted as a burlesque child of this firecracker, and he doesn't know how he got so lucky. AND YES, we talk about the sailor party (iykyk and you will).

"It got me out of a really deep depression spell; I still live with depression. I tell people even when I'm smiling happy, and I have great days, I still live with depression. But I can say for sure that since I've consistently been performing, the days that have been bad have been few and farther between. Burlesque hs really opened that part of my life up for me, in the healing component of things. I didn't realize I needed dance as therapy too. Sitting in an office or on a zoom call twice a week is important, but I wasn't releasing anything out of my physical body. I was talking a lot of the feelings out, but to dance them out is a whole different thing." Dancer, model, and makeup artist Harlem Nyte delights Viktor Devonne while chatting about the road that led to beginning burlesque 2 years ago. Just off the Ohio Burlesque Festival stage, this shaker from Chicago is regularly seen with Body Confidence for Queens. We talk early dance, bodies on stage, being mouthy, and going to where one is celebrated.

"Ultimately, a lot of what I do, a lot of the burlesque and boylesque work that I do is really based around lampooning male archetypes and deconstructing masculinity. So oddly enough, even though I'm non-binary I kind of find the performance style, the focus of it is still kind of pushing towards that. So in that vein, a lot of the things I do are decidedly 'boylesque' in terms of like what the content is deconstructing, and with the tropes I'm using; obviously they blend and meld into each other in many ways." Uruguayan-Torontonian El Toro shares thoughts on their field of burlesque, music, and film. Regularly seen with Boylesque TO, this self-proclaimed Latinx lover charms and delights in conversation with Viktor Devonne that spans exploration on gender and sexuality, stylistic choices, the word 'boylesque,' good lighting, being followed by documentary camera, and the mysterious land of Canada.
