GINGER VALENTINE

Crowned as the 2011 Queen of Burlesque at the New Orleans Burlesque Festival, Texas-based Ginger Valentine combines classical elegance with raucous bump-and-grind. She can tease, but she also knows how to deliver the goods. Ginger divides her time between Dallas and Houston, performing frequently with the Bustout Burlesque in New Orleans as well as with her own company, the Ruby Revue. She has been featured on G4’s Attack of the Show.

Here’s one of her live shows with Bustout Burlesque.

She won the Queen of Burlesque crown with this classy and sassy routine. One YouTube admirer described her thusly: “A real pressure cooker! When she turns up the heat, the lid’s gotta blow off!!!”
