MISS BONNIE DELIGHT
Our “Peepshow Pin-Up” this month; Bonnie Delight is a dancer, actress, singer, who loves to play drums and model for retro pin-up art and lives in Los Angeles. Being on the forefront of the Neo-Burlesque movement, she has performed at Lollapalooza (on the side stage), California Institute of Abnormalarts, Virgin Records, The Orpheum Theater, Exotic World, Monday Night Tease, and many more! She considers herself “just an old-fashioned girl.” She’s a natch for this show because she loves animal prints (but fake fur *only*, please!). She also loves feathers, rhinestones, sequins, glitter, boas, g-strings, pasties, and collects pinup art, old Playboy and men’s magazines. She hopes to pose for aircraft nose art someday. We are very happy for her to join us on stage for her first performance with PEEPSHOW MENAGERIE on May 20th, 2009.

She was also 1st runner up at the 2008 Miss Viva Las Vegas Burlesque competition.

You may have met her and not even knew it when she played Alice, Snow White (and other various characters) at Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland.

She has performed for SHIMMY & SHAKE,BURLESQUE-A-GO-GO, SHADOW CIRCUS, BUCKINGHAM BURLESQUE, TIKI INVASION, and more. She’s even opened for The English Beat and Cherry Poppin’ Daddies.

DAHLIA DeLUST
Her name’s Dahlia DeLust, but her friends call her Voodoo Dahlia. She’s been teasin’ and peelin’ since 2006 with the OC Underground Burlesque Society and is always shakin’ her way to a burlesque stage near you! She is known for her Voodoo Doll act and her Raven act which she performs in seven and a half inch ballet heels, but she’ll be bringing you an act dedicated to the working women of America. No, not THAT kind of working woman, but the kind that toils almost thanklessly using good ol’ American know-how to get the job done! She performs regularly with Peepshow Menagerie and we are very happy to have her back for her 5th show with us! (Yeah, I thought she did more too! Let’s hope she keeps coming back!)

ANASTASIA VON TEASERHAUSEN
There are certain performers we wonder don’t do as many shows with us and then we realize that while they are familiar faces, they are still new to the scene. That’s how good our performers are. Anastasia Von Teaserhausen is one of those newer performers on the burlesque scene, but she’s taken to it perfectly, studied under some of the best performers in L.A., and has already performed atMONDAY NIGHT TEASE, VICTORY VARIETY HOUR, and recently began producing her own PIRATE BURLESQUE SHOWwith fellow Peepshow performer alumni Lavendar La Rue. She also may have the longest name in burlesque [citation needed]. Beyond her performances, she is a maker of custom corsets and accessories and has been busy these days working with the Renaissance Faire.

JOLEE BLON’
Jolie Blon’ calls herself “The Blon’ Bombshell” and that ain’t no joke! She’s a Tease Artist, a Cheesecake Pin-Up and a Delta Flower, Born ‘n bred in Louisiana! She loves a good ol’ rowdy honky tonk, a boot scoot boogie, and don’t forget that homemade moonshine, fellas! Still, she always dreamt of heading west to become a burlesque showgirl in Hollywood and now here she is. From her Myspace:“I shoulda been born in 1925! Lotta times people ask me what a simple country gal is doin’ in the glitzy world of burlesque. To that I say country and burlesque go together like Willie Nelson to a doobie. Southern dames have always loved rhinestones and fringe!”She’s already performed at the MONDAY NIGHT TEASE and can also be seen in the PIRATE BURLESQUE SHOW this month. This will be Jolee’s first performance with PEEPSHOW MENAGERIE.

Comedy and Balloon Animals by
FAST EDDIE
Making his debut on our stage is Fast Eddie who isn’t normally seen in adult themed faire like this one. He’s a professional clown, (former circus clown), comedian, magician, and balloon artist who has somehow found himself mixed up with us burlesque types and if you know us long enough, you’ll probably wind up on stage at some point! Our point here is that we are very happy to be the place where Fast Eddie makes his burlesque debut. Oh, and speaking of points, please do not point anything sharp to close to his balloons. It’s not that we’re afraid of you popping them, it’s that you really really really don’t want to get that close to THESE balloons
Hosted by our lovely Animal Trainer:
DIZZY VON DAMN!
Dizzy von Damn! is a science-experiment gone horribly awry- she’s what happens when you mix the genes of the lovely Bettie Page with those of kitschy-eccentric Liberace… She’s proof that science can be sexy…and weird. Last year, she won the title of Miss Viva Las Vegas 2008, has performed across the country, as well as performing regularly at VICTORY VARIETY HOUR, MONDAY NIGHT TEASE, and can be seen in the new LA Burlesque Calendar for 2010 which will be available for purchase at the show. She dabbles in design and is a jill of all trades - She’s the Always girl. While she is a regular performer in our shows, she also hosted our successful Disney themed BURLESQUELAND show and this will be her second hosting gig with us. And you never know…she just might be convinced to taker her clothes off too if you are really nice. (But LOUD nice - not quiet nice.)

Guest-Produced by
Guest-Produced by MR. SNAPPER
What do you do when your co-producer flies to Europe and you still have a big show to do? Look to the theatre and find somebody who knows a thing or two about burlesque and get that person to co-produce with you. As both one half of Mr. Snapper and Mr. Buddy and the other half of his on and off-stage romantic partnership with Red Snapper (who is also guest producing next month), Mr. Snapper is a creative generalist, an artistic jack-of-all trades, and I don’t think he’d mind us saying a fantastic puppeteer, director and playwright who wrote and directed the burlesque themed play set in an American burlesque house during WWII called “Pin-Up Girls.” He is a founding member of the theatre troupe THEATRE UNLEASHED and has even been known to grace the burlesque stage himself on occasion as host and performer. (You can see him co-host next month’s PEEPSHOW MENAGERIE in fact.) Mr. Snapper brings a wealth of stage experience with him and we are very happy to be working with him on this show.
