"When I moved to Seattle, I joined some different dance companies and it was always just too pushy; like, I'm doing this for fun. And that's what I think why, when we joined burlesque-- because it is fun and I can create that story; what does this song mean to me, what is the song telling me, how do I want to express that to others. And I think that's what's so much fun about creating your persona and growing into your persona, is being able to hear a song and say 'Here's what that sounds like to me,' but to somebody else, they would take in a completely different direction." -- Moxie Blue "Sometimes burlesque is covering yourself in fake blood, in my case covering yourself in lipstick. It's not as polished; I definitely feel like when I tell people that I do burlesque they're like. 'ooh Dita Von Teese doo-doo' and I'm like, oh no, it gets very weird on stage. I don't think that I will ever be as polished ask Christina [Aguilera] and I think that's okay. The movie [Burlesque] itself I do; I enjoy it; it's fun, it's silly. I wish there was less of that one random man that Christina lives with and more of Cher." -- Pat Smear Seattle's Moxie Blue and Pat Smear are a delightful pair of wits and and style, both together on stage and in their solo work. Starting in burlesque together, as mother and child, Moxie and Pat are a surprise in their ability to seamlessly work together and explore their disparate individual styles. We talk personas, adjusting mindsets, generational gaps, activism, and how it went performing in front of dad/husband.

"I'm a very type a person in general; I think it's easier to be the decision-maker... it saves me time to not go back and forth... The job of producer isn't a really sexy, glamorous creative job a lot of the time. The funnest part is the creative part but a lot of it is updating our website, making our ticketing page, making copies of line-up of the show, promoting the show and sending out press releases and trying to get on calendar. That back office stuff is most of the job. To have a successful show, you can't just show up with a great, creative show; you have to show up with an audience." Devilish and delightful Blanche Bourgeois is based in Los Angeles, heading Hollywood Jane Revue. From Rocky Horror roots to their passion for the music industry, she and Viktor talk shop, including nerdlesque, pole, production, favorite fandoms, and more!

"We're still very much on our own; the closest we come is the festival circuit... not regulated, not unified, and boy do they vary. Everybody has a different idea... I had never been to a burlesque festival when I helped produce my first one; we'd have these meetings and people were like 'Well, traditionally in different places, blah blah blah--' and I'm like, 'Why, what, how... Can't we just...?'" Person of all the trades, Rebecca Mm Davis may be most recognized as co-producer of What The Funk Fest (winner of Favorite Festival for Silver Tusk Awards 2023) in Seattle, and emcee for multiple shows in the area.

"Our world is pretty terrifying right now. It just makes the need for performers like us even more [necessary.] We need to be even more loud, even more there...

"It's nice having people inspire you on different levels, on stage, off stage; see how they support the burlesque community and each other, and we become each others' family. And especially when you don't have a family or a good support system, theatre becomes your support system; the stage becomes sometimes your therapy, costuming becomes your therapy." Dancer, instructor, clown, and person of so many trades Harley Foxx (Albany, NY) sits with Viktor Devonne to talk about all kinds of things, from the lindyhop, gatekeeping, neurodivergence, accessibility, the scary possibility of fame, and joyfully homaging Josephine Baker.

"I initially launched into the world of performance art becuase I like us all to question what we're doing here." Luminous Pariah is a stunning portrayal of stage athleticism and charismatic beauty. Both a solo performer and a member of Seattle's glorious Mod Carousel, Luminous and Viktor talk about dance, makeup, signature style, gig grind, fresh faces in the scene, and shocking (scandalous!) backstage secrets behind the bunny masks.

"[As a child], I had this specific image in my head being the mobster's lounge singing girlfriend at his nightclub, of being a chorus girl who gets discovered and becoming the touring guidette of some sort of circus or variety show... I remember being super excited to get into musical theatre, and getting there and realizing, 'What is... This is not at all like in old Hollywood movies." Gorgeous and talented Coco LaMarr sits with Viktor Devonne during a rare break from the singing showgirl grind. Known as "The Champagne Chanteuse," she and Viktor talk "the lonely road" whilst splitting tme between Sacramento, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas; moms, gay roots, complicated feelings about vintage and Old Hollywood, celebrity, favorite song selections, and the TRUTH about THAT Marilyn Monroe/Ella Fitzgerald story.

"Sexuality and sensuality isn't always defined by the physical. What people find sexy is you being comfortable in your body and your own spirit, and how you move throughout the world. I don't care if that's you embracing being the hugest nerd on the planet or you being a sexpot, or however that changes in any moment. For me, most recently, I am deeply examining and enjoying the concept of being a joyous person because I've spent a lot of years, not. What does it mean to be someone who is happy, and how can you be sexy and happy at the same time? I'm just really in my body." Shimmy LaRoux is one of the most charming, engaging performers in Chicago. She and Viktor talk about technology, marketing, pinup, the definition of "classic burlesque," 90s fashion, taking compliments, and just coming off the Mover, Shaker, and Innovator showcase during "the messy middle"of burlesque. Shimmy is noted for appearing for FHM and an International Playboy Playmate and Cover Girl, and we go into the process of posing professionally naked for such a giant cultural enterprise.

"If you can find your way outside of the cog of creating theatre, or whatever it is that is the one thing that's all yours; that freedom... ooh, that's a powerful thing and I'm grateful for it." -- Ben Franklin "I don't pass as straight, I never did... I've lost out on work... I went into what made sense to me. I always express my queer identity [on stage]; I think all my acts have very much a queer sensibility, either by the music choice or te costuming or what I'm showing on stage... the movement... I don't think i set out to do it... [It just] naturally evolved with the way I want to share my art with the audience." -- Joshua Dean Happy Pride! We're closing out June with a threesome: Viktor gets to chat with the delightful duo 2 To Fly, Joshua Dean (aka Jojo the Clown) and Ben Franklin-- circus boylesque extravagants who work solo, together and as part of Boys Night (which features regularly Mr Gorgeous, Jason Mejias, and Phil VonAwesome). Ben and Josh also happen to be in fantastical love with teach other, having started in musical theatre together and now can be seen spinning around from the ceiling in jockstraps; or cracking whips and hula-hooping as Jack Skellington. We get in deep with the Cats movie (no really), circuslesque in one's 40s, queer identity on stage, international culture divides, and dichotomy of all-adult sexy shows and all-ages family-friendly shows.

"Your audience sees you. I don't care if you're a performer, a producer, a kitten, or a vendor. They are watching you. They determine who to patronize, who to be involved with, who to give their dollars to." Lakota Shekar holds court in Cleveland, OH. Just coming off her visit to the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender, where she was part of the Miss Exotic World judging panel and part of the accessibility crew. We talk about the apparent shock at the winners' circle by some folks, and how she feels about all that, plus how BHOF held space for disabled audience members and perforners.

"When I hit 30, I was redfinding dance and refinding home, and finding other areas of my sexuality, and just experimenting in new and fun ways. That was a gateway drug to burlesque, but if I hadn't had those experiences first, it would have been harder to be myself on stage in front of other people, while I was taking my clothes off... I don't think I would have had the joy in it." Red Velvet is a trained dancer who has become a versatile, frequently provocative and disarming. A San Francisco wonder, Red Velvet chats about pets, beginnings, motivation, the film Burlesque and its effect on the scene, creating one's own opportunities, tiny dollhouses, ageism, and problematic elements within the scene.

Hip hop is like a sibling, almost." -- ILOV GRATE "I rememeber being young and walking with my mother in our neigthborhood [of Hollis] and her pointing out Run D.M.C. to me... and also I remember when I was a little older, we were playing outside and someone came over and said 'LL Cool J is in the church basement around the corner, playing basketball!' My love of hip hop was curated at home." -- Rain Supreme "This is an all BIPOC festival, and understanding that hip is, and was in its origins, a Black and Brown art form that was created in the Bronx in the 70s by Black and Brown folks. And it's got this global understanding now, and people of all different genres, and races, and ethnicities listen to it and appreciate it, and also culturally appropriate it; there's all the gimmick. But, this is a specifically BIPOC festival; we want to showcase that and obviously everyone can come and support and be entertained and be inspired by this festival." -- Miss AuroraBoobRealis Extraordinary New York burlesquers Rain Supreme, Miss AuroraBoobRealis, Stella Nova, and ILOV GRATE are coming together to bring forth a brand new festival celebrating hip hop music. The Boombox Festival starts up with fundraising shows, such as May 20th at Coney Island and culminates in a extravaganza in September; with plans to expand already for 2024. Viktor gets a few behind the scenes moments from the four entertainers both as soloists and collaborators; plus inspired talks on race, class, misogyny, dance, stan wars, and who in current music is carrying the torch for the grandmasters.

Viktor Devonne presents: PASSION PROJECT, a series devoted to artists and creators behind really neat stuff. The latest episode is ENCYCLOPEDIA MADONNICA, with the author Matthew Rettenmund, who published his first edition in 1995, and then again in 2005, and the latest September of 2022. A literal a-z on the subject of global superstar Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, born in Bay City Michigan and subsequent queen of the pop world (and one of our last remaining icons who began their domination in the 1980s), the book is a mammoth collection of trivia, fascinating factoids, speculation, and commentary on the star's body of work, love life, activism, narcissism, fragility, strengths, and missteps along the way. One of the most "fun" icons to be a fan of, there are just as many heights (Blond Ambition! Evita! Hung Up!) as fails (Sean Penn! Body of Evidence! TikTok?) and projects that must be re-evaluated (Bloodhounds of Broadway! Sex! Bedtime Stories!) after loads of criticism was heaped upon them during their initial run. Rettenmund is one of the great masters behind maintaining perspective on Madonna's legacy whilst keeping a clear head on the present day. The result in the definitive encyclopedic compendium, in the latest and greatest form with exclusive interviews, culled quotes, forgotten lore, and necessary snark. Matt talks about how the initial publication almost never happened, his favorites and less favorites (what beloved M track is he less than delighted by? You may gasp.), and how he managed to get a snapshot with the legend herself (and what she said to him!) during the tour and press events he experienced and compares notes with Viktor on whether or not she really should try another movie.

Viktor Devonne presents: PASSION PROJECT, a series devoted to artists and creators behind really neat stuff. The premiere episode is WHO DONE IT? THE CLUE DOCUMENTARY, with the director/editor/guide Jeff C. Smith, who began his journey in 2017. The final product is a full length documentary now in select theaters, and on its way to VOD. With behind-the-scenes gab from the folks behind the cult classic Clue (Jonathan Lynn! Lesley Ann Warren! Michael McKean!) including extensive conversations on the almost-was (Carrie Fisher as Miss Scarlet? That elusive 4th ending?), loving tribute to the energy of the people who made it happen (the costumes! the sets! the script!), and grateful acknowledgement of the fans who keep the mayhem going, this is the thus-only definitive documentation of the history of the quinessential board game murder mystery comedy. Jeff talks about how the idea formulated, how he got in contact with comedy legends to be on camera, who declined and how nicely, and the road to the movie screen, where it recently showed on both coasts and is now emerging all over. "It's not just a movie based on a board game …anymore."
