Midnite Martini was named #33 in 21st Century Burlesque Magazine’s TOP BURLESQUE 50 2011! Big thanks to Holli Mae and the whole 21st Century crew for counting the votes and bringing so much to the community . . .
” The Burlesque TOP 50 2011
Well, here we go again! Thank you all for your patience – I have counted, confirmed and written up the results as fast as I possibly can, and here they are.
A record number of you voted this year, and the results are very interesting. There are several new entries in the TOP 50 this year. There are also a few tied positions, so there are more than fifty people acknowledged in this list, but we see it as an excuse to celebrate even more people by sticking to fifty positions, rather than fifty individuals.
2011 was an amazing year for burlesque, and I think the TOP 50 reflects its variety, creativity and quality. I had the pleasure of enjoying some incredible performances, and interviewing many beautiful and talented people. I am thrilled to see some new faces make the list after the fantastic contributions they have made in 2011.
Please feel free to leave comments below, and discuss the results on our TOP 50 Facebook page, or on Twitter with the tag #burlesquetop50″

See Midnite featured in the new book on Burlesque!
Book Summary: “Throughout Burlesque: The True Art of Seduction, author Michel Grondin paints a vibrant and extensive portrait of this up and coming art, helping the reader to better understand its roots and stunning vitality. Burlesque pays tribute to all the distinguished female performers of the past, while celebrating its newest and most-skilled practitioners. Through in-depth and impassioned research, the author recounts a captivating slice of history in the process. In his rich exploration of the subject, Michel Grondin is supported by his co-author Scarlett James, the French Canadian muse of burlesque. Scarlett, sporting a physique reminding us of a 1950s pin-up artist, delivers exclusive insight into the wondrous global art of seduction. Enjoy a voyage filled with color, sensuality and elegance. Allow your senses to be titillated as you delve into this delightful fantasy experience . . . And yes, that is Scarlett featured on the cover!”

CBF 2011
As myself along with the other CBF producers (Fannie Spankings, Honey Touche, Lola Spitfire, and Bunny Bee) answer millions of emails, interview for articles, send out press releases, coordinate classes, update performers, finalize with venues, search for any last minute sponsors and volunteers, and the list goes on and on and on . . . We are growing giddy with excitement and anticipation for 2011′s Colorado Burlesque Festival JULY 7TH – 10TH!!!!
This year is a big blow out folks (that may never again be duplicated!) We have, count them, FIVE headliners this year! All of our fabulous headliners from last year (Michelle L’amour, Tigger!, Trixie Little and the Evil Hate Monkey) are reuniting again with us this year! But we just couldn’t help ourselves but to also invite 2 other hard hitting headliners, World Famous BOB and the Reigning Queen of Burlesque Miss Indigo Blue! As well as guest emcee Foxy Tann coming in to sass up CBF the same way she did last year!
The festival will also be featuring performances from some of the top notch burlesque stars from around the country! We feel so blessed because performers who usually headline festivals elsewhere actually applied to our festival to perform in the lineup this year. With five incredible shows to catch with amazing lineups each night, this festival is truly star studded and rhinestone encrusted 
See lineups below . . .
But the shows aren’t all folks! Oh no, we have classes and special workshops Friday and Saturday during the day at The Curtis Hotel (the official hotel of CBF). There you can learn how to tease with Miss Indigo Blue, Shimmy with Michelle L’amour, act with Tigger!, samba with Kellita, improv with Trixie & Monkey, tassel twirl with Frenchie Kiss, and so much more! Click here for details and directions on how to sign up!
We also have a Beach Blanket Pool Party Sunday afternoon, where you can eat brunch with your burlesque favs and take a dip in the pool to wash away that hangover. Located at the Burnsley Hotel and only $5 admission you can hob nob and hang with all of the performers from the festival! A live DJ and live performances will keep everyone entertained and the party going from 12noon-4pm!
Not convinced? Well how about this . . . Michelle L’Amour is debuting a BRAND NEW ACT at Saturday night’s show. Miss Indigo Blue is performing the routine that won her the crown this past June in Las Vegas on Saturday as well! I’ll be performing the routine that got me in to compete in Las Vegas with the amazing Indigo Blue on Saturday and will be dancing with local boy-lesquer and my partner in life Buster in a duet for Friday’s VIP. Fannie Spankings will be performing the same routine that won her the trophy at the Jim Thorpe competition in the VIP show too. We have more boy-lesque performers in our festival than any event in Colorado before, not to mention more performers and fuller lineups of burlesque, singers, and variety than last year!
So DO NOT delay! Friday night’s shows are already close to selling out! Get your tickets, mark your calendars, and get ready to party. We’ll be throwing feathers and glitter all around town, you don’t want to miss this!

My business, stage, & romance partner is from Joplin, MO and we were devastated to hear this past Sunday night that an E5 tornado had ripped through his hometown and destroyed 75% of the city.
Luckily his family is all okay, but his mom and stepdad’s home was completely leveled and crushed in the storm. We are asking for positive energy and loving thoughts to be sent their way and to all the victims of the tornado. And if you feel inspired to donate financially you can do so here
Thank you to everyone for your love and support and we hope to bring Jason’s family and Joplin a little relief to rebuild!
