MISSY MALONE

Scotland’s most celebrated burlesque artist, Missy Malone, isn’t a good fan dancer. She’s a fantastic one. But the fans are only a small part of her stage arsenal. For an act she calls “The Bride,” paying homage to the 1935 movie The Bride of Frankenstein, she dances using that silts that transform her into a towering, nine-foot figure. She also does a champagne-themed balloon dance and impersonates a gambling cowgirl in “Ace of Spades.”

To get a sense of her elaborate costumes and stage props, check out this routine called “Jack Frost,” performed at Burlescapades, hosted by the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh, Scotland.

From an early age, Missy was inspired by classic American pin-up artwork, particularly WWII airplane nose art. This passion is evident in “The Military Strip,” a duet she performed with Leyla Rose at The Arches in Glasgow, Scotland.

ANNA FUR LAXIS

Burlesque dancer, pin-up girl, knife-thrower and illusionist, Great Britain’s Anna Fur Laxis has performed across the globe, in Europe, North America, Australia and Asia. In 2011, she placed first runner-up in both the Milan Burlesque Awards and the Miss Exotic World competition at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. Her claim to fame is her jaw-dropping Laxis of Evil axe-throwing act, a twist on the popular “balloon pop” burlesque routine. Here is the act, filmed at Neil “Nez” Kendlall’s Goldust’s Tales From The Crypt Halloween Ball 2011.

HELEN DIAMOND

Moscow-based pin-up artist and burlesque dancer Helen Diamond might be the hottest contemporary star in Siberia — or, at least, one of the only stars who has made the circuit performing at Siberian nightclubs. Svelte and blonde, she’s does sensuous fan dances and classical strips to sultry jazz tunes.

Fanning the flames.
