Koko Risque Saucy Showcase


On Saturday night I had the pleasure of performing at Koko Risque Saucy Showcase on Waiheke Island. This event was put on as a fundraiser for the 'Kavanna Jade Trust'. The show was put together by the wonderful Quaintrelle and the NZ's Island of Burlesque Festival. The performers of the evening included Miss La VidaAmourous Ava, Quaintrelle, Coney BowDixie CaramelA Slice of Pineapple, Rusty Rascal, Lara Lush, and Solomon Cole. The MC was NZ celebrity, Brooke Howard Smith.

The event was a sell out and absolutely fabulous!! All the performers were fantastic. I was also lucky enough to get a peek at Miss La Vida's Martini Glass Act. It's no ordinary Martini Act though. I'll just divulge that involves Miss La Vida as the Martini Glass and she operates a sexy showgirl puppet ;)

I performed my signature 'Cupcakes for Sale' act, as well as my 'Champagne Worshiper' act.

After the show it was time to have some drinks, a boogie and mingle. The Vintage Amusement Co kindly opened up their work shop, The Engine Room to host the after party. The place was hooked up with lasers, a smoke machine, and so many quirky awesome props and sets to pose with. 







The view I woke up to!!!



Thank you so much to Kavanna's amazing mum for organising the performer's accommodation at the Waiheke Island Resort. We felt like real pampered show girls :)
