It is not uncommon for men… and some women to desire and appreciate the company of a Vixen, especially for a Valentines celebration. Va Va Vixens are one of Louisville’s Burlesque entertainment groups, and they are literally making headlines at Headliners.
On February 4th, Headliners had a sold out show with lookers on enjoying an entire evening of nothing but Vixens during the opening night of Va Va Valentine. This was the first of a series of shows that Headliners be hosting, starring the Va Va Vixens. These performers combine
traditional Burlesque, with some outrageously entertaining twists.
Now when you think Burlesque, some people picture the movie that Cher starred in a few years ago. Va Va Vixens Burlesque takes the traditional form, then mixes things up a bit with a touch of Vaudeville and a circus style that you won’t soon forget. There is glitter, glam, good music, and sex appeal all combined into an evening of hypnotic entertainment that is sure to make you want to come back again.
One of the Vixens walks around on stilts, welcoming viewers and sprinkling them with glitter. She is much like a fey that you’d expect to give you a light dusting of fairy dust. Now, some of the guys may not appreciate the sparkle they get, but they’ll definitely enjoy the view of the well balanced lady that is going to have them shaking that glitter out of their clothes for a few days.
The show started out with the Vixens performing classic hits by renowned artists like Etta James, truly setting the mood for the night. The evening became more intense when the aerial artists took the stage including Eva Destruction. Seeing a Vixen wrapped in silks, dangling gracefully above the crowd got everyone’s attention. Kenya Kissme is an amazing knife twirler that brings back memories of carnival jugglers while adding a ‘hint’ of danger and providing more sex appeal. Veruca Vulcano debuted playing a lyra while dangling from a hoop like an exotic bird without the gilded cage.
The enticing Lady Chameleon did a somewhat witchy and ritualistic performance in a hooded cape, but she was not along on the stage. She soothes the serpent during her act, as her pet snake was her partner during her time on the stage. She also had an entourage of belly dancers twirling and dancing around her truly providing completion to her exotic performance.
Brooke and Shawn Slone add a touch of Vaudeville to the show running around in pajamas for a bit of comedic relief. However, they go into a dream sequence that brings the Vixens out as they role-play inner fantasies with steamy scenes.
Lisa Frye is the coordinator for the Vixens. Props should definitely go out to her for all the hard work she is putting into organizing these unbelievable performances. It takes a lot of effort to find all those amazing costumes, find just the right music and coordinate all the performers. Lisa knows how to put together an evening that will keep the crowd enticed and entertained for hours without having one dull moment.
If you missed the performance on February 4th, you can still catch the Vixens at Headliners. They will have encore shows on Fridays and Saturdays up to February 18th. You can get tickets in advance for $20. Front row tables and VIP seating are available for $30 each. This is a show that is interactive, entertaining and combines just the right amount of sexy and classy. You won’t want to miss an opportunity to experience this unique form of Burlesque.
