SUICIDE GIRLS BLACKHEART BURLESQUE TOUR

Emcee Vorpal Suicide of the Suicide Girls playfully warns, “This is not your typical burlesque show.”

With the Suicide Girls running the show, how could it possibly be anything generic?

The hugely successful pinup site brought the masses a refreshing alternative to the rigid depictions of sexiness in mainstream pinup magazines. Now they are serving up a burlesque show unlike any other on their Blackheart Burlesque Australian Tour.

The show has been an international success for the Suicide Girls over the past five years and is now bringing its unique brand of sex appeal back down under. For Vorpal, who became a Suicide Girl just last June and jetted off to America on less than 24-hours-notice five months later to participate in Blackheart Burlesque, the show is, “…the coolest and most outrageous thing I’ve ever been a part of.”

She notes that audiences can expect to get very much involved.

“You will be covered in alcohol, food, and bodily fluids,” she says. “That pretty much sums up what to expect. The girls stage-dive topless. It’s ridiculous.”

Even those that are old hand at burlesque shows can expect the Suicide Girls to give them an experience unlike anything they’ve ever seen. (SW)
