Lola The Vamp

The world famous Lola The Vamp is burlesque's beautiful international star, a Tease-o-rama headliner, Penthouse Pet and tabloid sensation! With a celebrity fan base and high-end style, Lola is an icon in the making!.
From touring with Cirque Du Soleil, to supporting Nick Cave, Lola's style is capturing the world's imagination. She has posed as an Australian Penthouse Pet in a notorious and very very popular shoot, described by Mr Cave himself as 'beautiful', modelled for an exhbition by 5 artists and posed for the Archibald Prize. Lola has performed everywhere from major music festivals such as The Big Day Out to the Assembly Ballroom at the Edinburgh Fringe, to theatres in Las Vegas and Hollywood, and her beloved Paris. Headlining appearances at major burlesque events have seen her quoted in papers from the Sydney Morning Herald to the San Francisco Chronicle. She has been reviewed by The Times and The Scotsman, fasterlouder.com, and many more, with Melbourne's Age topping them all with their 2008 review "a sly wit and a highly developed aesthetic.super sexy without ever being tawdry, Lola is in a league of her own"
Lola also features prominently in the two most seminal books on contemporary burlesque "Burlesque and The New Bump and Grind" by Michelle Baldwin and "The Happy Stripper: Pleasures and Politics of the New Burlesque" by Jackie Wilson
Lola's elegant and sensual style borrows from La Belle Epoque and Art Nouveau, with a tantillising touch of 1920s striptease. Lola's shows feature stunning props such as a 1790's Sedan Chair, a carousel Unicorn, a giant Champagne fountain, and priceless fans, wings, costumes and jewellery. Each show is professionally choreographed with nods to Moulin Rouge, Crazy Horse and Folies Bergere. She takes her name from the vamp-y silent film stars of the 1920s, and nods to her favorite passtime of improvising to jazz music - to vamp in jazz is to improvise after all! Lola not only offers audiences her stunning cabaret shows with the most exquisite props and costumes you'll ever see, but two full-length solo shows - Milonga Del Angel and Bohemia, both of which have toured to sold-out audiences worldwide. In 2007, her silent film, The Poor Slob and The Good Fairy, based on an 1899 cabaret script, debuted at the Cannes Short Film Corner.
This is Lola Bijou La Vamp - a jewel and a vamp!
