Burlesque Acts

Hard Boiled

​One can often get carried away in a good book . . . and maybe even a not-so-good one. In her award-winning signature number, Sailor falls head over heels for vintage detective novels and imagines herself as the femme fatale. 

This number was featured in The Lady Aye's October 2013 article "Show Us Your Books!" in Penthouse magazine, and received the Legend's Choice award from burlesque legend April March at the 2014 Great Burlesque Exposition.

Serenity


Serenity is a classic fan dance interpretation of the movement of objects in space -- a love song from a ship to her captain. 

This act was created for JoJo Stiletto's 2012 edition of Whedonesque Burlesque. Called "breathtaking" by Nerds in Babeland's Kiri Callahan, it can be performed in two versions: one with Joss Whedon context, and one without.

Jolene




With flaming locks of auburn hair, ivory skin, and eyes of emerald green, Sailor will take your man in this sultry chair dance set to a super-slow version of Dolly Parton's "Jolene."

Fog City Blues


Inspired by the weather patterns in Sailor's San Francisco Bay Area hometown, the layers of fog drift away to reveal a hint of sunshine underneath in this sultry, slow-burning classic striptease with a high-energy finish.

Lady Luck



This classic burlesque number is a tribute to Sin City of the 1950s and 1960s -- before Las Vegas became an amusement park. It is an homage to stiff drinks, long nights at the tables, the music of the Rat Pack, and, of course, leggy showgirls.  Set to Bobby Caldwell's cover of "Luck Be a Lady" and clad in an epic costume by J. Von Stratton, Sailor embodies Lady Luck herself, and you'll most definitely want her by your side all night after this lively strip!

The Gin Drinker



An ode to Sailor's preferred potent potable, this classic striptease set to "Harlem Nocturne" can wear two skins: one in 1960s office attire for a Mad Men-flair, and one in the fringed flapper duds of a 1920s bon vivant. Either way, this sexy slow-burn treats the audience to tension-filled stocking pulls and ends in a shower of gin. You pick the vintage, Sailor will bring the bottle.

Surrender Sorrento

Capturing the playful sexuality and high melodrama of 1960s Italian cinema, Sailor moves fluidly from slow gown and glove teases to frenetic cape play and shimmies. Clad in a palatte inspired by the high fashion looks of Emilio Pucci and set a mix of Italian classic "Sorrento" and the Elvis Presely cover "Surrender," Sailor compels you to surrender to the spell of Italia.

Marlene




This slow-burning, smoky suit strip pays homage to Marlene Dietrich in a palette of purples and blacks. Set to a moody jazz soundtrack by Japanese songwriter Yoko Kano, this number provides the atmosphere and attitude of a cosmopolitan nightclub in the 1930s, just as the smoke settles and the bar closes up for the evening. This act earned Sailor the title of "Best Soloist" at the 2015 Great Burlesque Exposition.

McTeague



Greed is the maddest kind of love. The acquistion and display of wealth can often be a perverse form of desire, and this shiny, golden, classic burlesque number explores the limits of that desire.

​Inspired by Trina McTeague's preferred bedtime habits in Frank Norris's 1898 novel McTeague, Sailor's lust for gold quickly descends into a frenzied need to jangle her coins wherever possible.

Vice





A classic, dirty bump'n'grind striptease in purple and turquoise set to the rockabilly guitar sounds of Link Wray and featured in the original play, Seattle Vice!
