Miss Lily White
"My life in...burlesque"
Born in Australia, raised in New
York City, resident in London for many years and now in Edinburgh, Lily is
truly an international burlesque sensation! Her unusual upbringing in one of
the most exciting cities in the world found her surrounded by artists,
musicians, performers, drag queens, intellectuals, dreamers and divas.
Lily went on to study dance and drama in New York and London, and to
become obsessed with the glamour and romance of bygone eras - Paris in the
20s, Berlin in the 30s, Hollywood in the 40s... With influences ranging from
the brash confidence of strong and sexy screen sirens such as Mae West to
the saucy British seaside postcard, the refined elegance of past burlesque
queens such as Lily St. Cyr to the timeless, innocent sexuality of classic
pin-up art, she absolutely revels in the sheer joy of the art of the tease!
