She started performing burlesque striptease in April 2006 and won the Ministry of Burlesque Awards Best Newcomer Award in 2007. Her work is inspired by her love of 1940’s Hollywood glamour and she says that ‘The revealed human body is not something to be ashamed of. We all have bodies and I think that embracing one’s body and using it creatively is one of the most liberating things we can do”.
