Demi Monde Burlesque
Mademoiselle Demi Monde (pronunciation:ˈdemēˌmänd) is a Cape Town based "burlesque artiste" who personifies the glamour and intrigue of the vintage showgirl.
She is a femme fatale of the highest order who morphs her seductions into palatable spectacles to titillate discerning audiences of glamorous tease. Demi has had a penchant for all things that please her champagne tastes, a true epicure who indulges in sumptuous fabrics, feathers, hats and heels. Mademoiselle Monde is an anachronism who relishes ‘re’- visiting the styles from the glory days of the iconic stage starlet spanning from the late 19th century to the 1960's. For her, burlesque more than a performance art. It is a lifestyle. You won’t catch her without a slick of rouged lipstick and her raven hair coiffed to perfection! She enjoys toying, in her feline manner, with ambivalent notions of sexuality and social norms. Allow this enigmatic muse to flirt with your inner aesthete…
