ODDITEASE- September 5th

On September 5, 2015, Le Femme Mystique Burlesque will get the season of spookiness kicked off with their Oddi-Tease show, which will feature Vita DeVoid, Gigi DeLuxe, Discord Addams, Bella Sin and Noella DeVille. The evening will be hosted by Abby Downton.

Vita DeVoid has been a fireball on stage in the Southern U.S. Burlesque Revival since early 2003, performing solo and with a variety of productions based in Florida, while also touring the United States. Bringing back the iconic glamour of the 20s Vaudeville age through the 40s burlesque striptease arts, Vita keeps her unique style true to form with her playful, animated stage persona, glamorous cabaret costuming, musical selections and sense of humor. In early 2005, she founded the VaudeVillains Burlesque Company, Florida’s first full-scale variety show based on early 20th Century vaudeville, striptease and comedic one-act plays. The group remains a staple in Florida’s burlesque scene today, performing at various conventions, nightclubs, dinner theaters, charity events and concerts. Vita’s strongest performances vary from traditional bump ‘n grind striptease acts, tribal-esque belly dance, club go-go dance, fire performance, comedic event emceeing, human blockhead, one-act comedy sketches and character/actress impersonations, including one of Lucille Ball that has become one of her most demanded characters. 

Gigi DeLuxe’s art is as eclectic as the heritage that flows through her veins and the home in which she produces. Living and breathing through all forms of creation, Gigi is not content to limiting her expression to one medium. Whether it is art, sideshow or even her own body, Gigi’s range is one that is vast and not easily defined. Her inspiration comes for the predominantly working class neighborhood of her youth where she spent her time among the decrepit abattoirs and train tracks of Chicago’s South Side, her relationship with her uncle who served as an incredible influence during her teenage years and later on, as a noted member of the infamous Club Kid party scene in New York’s nightlife. With an aesthetic that blends a respect to the traditions and techniques of the old masters, the Secessionist spirit to explore and express without the restraints of conventional academic regiment, the abandon of the low-brow movement and just a hint of young British artists’ cheekiness, Gigi’s vision is one of ever-expanding desire to grow through conception. She fell in love with costuming at a young age and dedicates herself to preserving circus and sideshow tradition while adding the glamorous touch of burlesque in her performances. 

Discord Addams wants to look like she just stumbled out of a trailer after having a gang bang with Motley Crue. At her heart, Discord is a rock star, with a touch of every style of drag coming together to make up this queen’s performances. Discord got her name from the Goddess of Chaos, with her surname coming from the Addams Family. As she puts it, “I like to think I would fit right in at a family dinner.” Discord Addams will captivate you as she takes the stage. Come see her before she’s whisked off by RuPaul for Drag Race. We all know it’s an inevitability with this one.

This evening would not be possible without Cleveland’s Burlesque Queen Bella Sin, who will capture the crowd’s attention from the moment she takes the stage with her vibrant red hair and bright personality. Winner of 3 gold medals at Ohio Burlypicks !
Newcomer Noella DeVille will delight the crowd as she takes the stage with a vibrant shock of teal hair and mesmerizing moves.

Tickets to this primarily seated event are available for $15-25, including VIP and Reserved seating options. Doors will open at7:30pm and the show will begin at 8:30pm.
