Exclusive: We chat vintage with burlesque queen Immodesty Blaize
She is one of burlesque’s most successful performers and Britain’s favourite showgirl. QueensOfVintage.com has met up with the amazing Immodesty Blaize to find out more about her new show, her love for all things vintage and a Forties stole given to her by Wendy Richards.
Lena Weber: Tell us all about your new show, The Tease Show.
Immodesty Blaize: Expect the usual high voltage glamour! 2009 will behold plenty of champagne glass splashing, fans of fire, horse riding frolics, and Tainted Love against a backdrop of the most impressive array of bustular substance.
I’m very excited to welcome the world’s top burlesque stars again, including Catherine D’Lish, Kalani Kokonuts, Kitten De Ville and more, not to mention an incredible setlist from the legendary Marc Almond with my 12 piece Blaize Big Band, and the razor witted Julian Clary will be compering the show again. It’s always a big, lavish production which takes 65 people on the team to create, either behind or in front of the velvet curtain – so that’s why we only put it on once a year.

Fantastic interview! I disagree with her about not being able to do girlie as I do… and I’m 6’3 in MY heels!
But I think she looks better as a glamorous vamp anyway.
I have to agree
Brilliant interview – I really enjoyed that. Thanks QoV.
