Not your typical burlesque performer, Boston Ladders sure knows how to simultaneously tickle your funny bone and your fancy! Reveling in all things strange and unusual, she challenges the notions laid down by classic burlesque with her killer concepts and kick ass costume designs that rarely fall into the category of ‘conventional sexiness’.
Having been gifted with both an overactive imagination and an absolute lack of shame, she can be a recovering hospital patient, a slobbish janitor, a maniacal super villain, or a hungover mess but dammit if she’s not completely irresistible while she’s doing it!
WHAT BOUGHT YOU TO ENTER MBA THIS YEAR?
A last minute decision on a complete whim! I have been putting off entering for a couple of years now fearing that I would simply be too amateur for a competition of this caliber. But I finally figured what better way to force me to evolve my craft than by entering the biggest professional burlesque competition we have in Australia?
DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE STRONGER IN CLASSIC, NEO OR UNIQUE?
Definitely ‘unique’ – allows me to really showcase my comedic side which would have to be my strongest suite. I absolutely love to make the audience laugh and have oh so much fun putting together ridiculous costumes and practicing hideous expressions. Having said that, it has been a brilliant experience having to explore other styles & themes. I now feel far more comfortable performing more sultry, serious numbers and am ever so pleased to have a greater variety in my repertoire.
WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR SIGNATURE MOVE?
The dead-pan thrust. Simultaneously alluring & disturbing.
Feel the Thrust of the Gold Coast Heats THIS SATURDAY!!!
