Burlesque Ball - 12th November 2022

It’s The Burlesque With Paris Burlesque Ball Time…

The Burlesque With Paris Burlesque Ball was on Saturday the 12th of November at Drax Sports and Social Club last year. We had the sensational Pinkie T’Boo as our Hostess with the Mostess, Khandie Khisses, and Stu Hamilton as our photographers of the evening along with our fabulous 186 guests of the night.

All of our Goole Goddesses, Featherstone Follies, Featherstone Foxes, Selby Sirens, Selby Starlets, Hull Harlots, Hull Honeys and Doncaster Divas have been working hard since the beginning of August getting ready with their class performances, solos and double acts ready to give our audience a night of BURLESQUE.

All of our performing starlets were getting ready backstage and steadying their nerves and excitement as our guests of the night took to their seats. The lights were dimmed and the stage lights lit up the stage, Paris Chantilly announced the start of the show, and the room filled with excitement.

Pinkie T’Boo stepped onto the stage and the room roared with applause as our audience welcomed our host on stage. She worked her magic with our audience before starting to introduce our performers of the night.

Our first performers of the night were Dolores Moon, Suki-Rae Faberge, Roxy Wild, Scarlett Vixen, and Cherry Daiquiri from Hull Harlots. They stepped onto the stage in their corsets, tutus, fishnet tights, and frilly knickers all using the black and pink colour theme to compliment their ostrich fans. The music started and they were in full swing to their performance ‘SMASH’ and our audience went wild. A sensational fan performance from five of our Harlots, you would have never known it was their first time on stage!

It was then Von Yr Neez from Hull Honeys who stepped onto the stage to perform her first-ever solo debut to ‘S&M’. She looked seductive in her black dress and boots as she started her performance on a chair. Then out of nowhere off came the dress to reveal her black leather and lace corset and OMG Madam Dominatrix had entered the building… She lead her poor victim onto the stage and blindfolded him before whipping him with her riding crop and flogger. The audience ignited and the room echoed with applause.

Next to take to the stage was Bohemian Beauty from Featherstone Follies with her performance to ‘Cinderella’s Dead’. It was her first time on the stage and WOW she was dressed to die for in her black leather hot pants with a matching corset. If that wasn’t enough she performed a bump and grind chair routine which was full of bump and grind moves from chair work to floor work. The audience roared with applause as she captivated them throughout her performance.

It was then Ruby Rose from Goole Goddesses and Doncaster Divas who was next to take to the stage with her performance to ‘Dirrty’. Dressed all in red the music started her red gown was thrown to the floor to reveal her red bodice, skirt, gloves, fishnet tights, and red boots. She performed her chair performance in perfect time to the music and the audience roared with applause.

Next to take to the stage was Dolly Moonshine from Doncaster Divas performing a cabaret number to ‘Hello Dolly’. She looked exquisite dressed in her black corset, pants, and bra. There was a rose petal pour and glove removal as she danced through her performance in perfect time to the music to then reveal her translucent isis wings. Her first-time solo debut and what an incredible performance she performed full of tongue and cheek with lots of fancy footwork. She received an almighty array of applause from our audience.

Delicious Denise was next to take to the stage from Selby Sirens performing to ‘Senorita What’s Her Name’. She walked onto the stage to the music dressed in a black leather dress, with red gloves, PVC boot coverings, and a pink boa. Her striptease performance was exquisite as she worked through her routine peeling off her gloves, PVC boot coverings, and black leather dress to reveal her red tassel bra and skirt. An Absolutely Spectacular performance filled with bum rolls and shimmies and if that wasn’t enough she finished her performance with some salsa dancing with fancy footwork. The audience loved her and the room echoed with applause and whistles for our beautiful Delicious Denise as she left the stage.

It was then Honey Petites, Crystal Tips, Crimson Babydoll, Ruby Starr, Helena Please, Fifi Whispers, Holli Daze, and Kitty Darling from Hull Harlots who were next to perform their seductive performance to ‘I Put A Spell On You’. The music started and they each turned to face the audience ready to captivate them under their spell. They danced through their performance which was full of tease, boa tricks, and costume removal. First, it was their gloves that came off, then their corsets, and with their backs, to the audience, they slipped out of their bras before turning to reveal their sparkly pasties and finishing in their glamorous ending pose. The audience went wild and the room ignited with an array of applause and whistles. A first-time class performance that entertained our audience and left them wanting so much more…

Next to take to the stage was our beautiful She She La Play from Doncaster Divas, Featherstone Follies, and Featherstone Foxes. Her first solo debut to ‘Private Dancer’. She walked onto the stage in perfect time to the music dragging her boa behind her before facing the audience and tantalizing them with her boa tricks. She applied her lipstick and powdered her nose before picking up her perfume bottle which she sprayed across her chest. She fanned her money and danced with it as a fan before throwing it up in the air as she finished she removed her silver beaded tassel top and threw it to the floor with a spectacular pose to finish. What a Fabulous first-time performance, the audience loved her and roared with applause as she left the stage.

It was then Lucretia Velvet from Featherstone Foxes who was next to step onto the stage to entertain our audience with her performance to ‘Show and Tell’. Dressed in a sparkly pink skirt, bra, pants, and gloves with pearls in her hair she worked through her performance peeling off her gloves one by one before her skirt removal. Her leg lines were beautiful and her floor work was incredible. Who would have believed that this was her first-time solo debut… As she finished her performance the room filled with an echoing array of applause.

Paris Chantilly was the next to step on the stage for the final performance of the first half performing her Hearts and Flowers act. As the music started she twirled across the stage in a long cream skirt with a heavily jeweled bra and corset hidden under her ostrich fans. Her performance was full of excitement and tease as she revealed herself from behind her fans before transferring both fans into one hand to peel off her costume pieces piece by piece. First, it was the skirt that came off as she twirled across the stage, then both fans were transferred into one hand, and off came her pants, corset, and bra with the little reveal to the audience before each of the removals. She finished her performance with an elegant traditional fan dance, her leg lines, and fan technique were exquisite as she captivated the audience throughout her routine. She certainly showed the audience you should always expect the unexpected and when she finished in the tall peacock pose to reveal her sparkly gemmed pasties and g-string the audience roared with applause.

The diversity of burlesque was now apparent and the first half of the show had wowed the audience from start to finish leaving everyone excited and wanting more... The atmosphere was incredible and our audience was full of chatter as they refilled their drinks and waited for the announcement that the second half of the show was going to begin.
