Show list:
Aerial:
'Gaijin Geisha' - a host of butterflies flutter around the Gaijin Geisha's head, as she slowly sheds robes, parasol and fan to charming Japanese music.

Simply stunning! Also available as a shorter, non-striptease version suitable for corporate events.

'Addiction' - First performed for hungry True Blood vampire fans at the HBO-sponsored Fangtasia night, this aerial hoop show is dark, sexy and bloody.

Duration: 4.30 mins. Soundtrack: Methampethamine Blues, Mark Laneghan. Costume: Leather trousers and matching bra top.
Fire:
'Fire Cracker' - Resplendent in daisy dukes, a cowboy hat and wielding a blowtorch, Lydia is the embodiment of White Trash chic! She casually lights up a cigar before stubbing it out on her tongue and lighting her fire-torches. After a spectacular display or body-burning and fire-eating, she lights up her five-point fire hula and spins it expertly around waist, hip, neck and hands, executing stunning tricks that never fail to have the audience cheering! This is a very popular show and a skill that is not seen often outside of circus, and I have several different versions available to suit the occasion.
Duration: 5.30 mins/4 mins. Music: 'Bad Things' Jace Everett OR Crackin' up by Rev Co or 'Honky-tonk Badonkadonk" by Trace Atkins. Costume: Confederate bikini, cut off denims, cowboy hat.
'Faster Pussycat' - Mrrrow! A tribute to the style and attitude of the Supervixens, this red-hot pussycat is on fire! A delightfully pleasing fire act utilising simple but effective tricks with a minimum of fuss, therefore suitable for smaller venues that can't always house fire acts. No nudity but very saucy indeed! A wink, a smile and few naughty quips give this sexy fire act a comic edge.

'Film Noir Fancy' - "I knew she was trouble from the second she walked into my office" - how right he was! Lydia takes on the role of smouldering femme fatale in this tribute to the classic noir movies of the 1940s. A smouldering bump n' grind routine performed to a specially recorded score - this private dick didn't know what hit him...

'The Mistress and Margarita' - a satirical take on burlesque for the more literary-minded audience, this is a slyly humorous homage to the Bulgakov novel. Part Dominatrix, part ringmaster, part magician, Lydia casually lights her cigar off a dollar bill as notes rain down around her. A slightly more edgy, modern take on burlesque with a LOT of attitude!
Duration: 5 minutes. Soundtrack: Head like a Hole by Pig (lounge style cover-version). Costume: Top hat, gold and black Vollers corset dress, short cape with money-print lining, custom-made money-print panties, bra and waspie. Stockings and gold-diamante-edged shoes. Riding crop.
