"SHE'S THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD" PAUL O'GRADY MBE
International showgirl superstar, novelist, and Europe's undisputed queen of burlesque, IMMODESTY BLAIZETM is fast becoming a national treasure.
Recently dubbed 'The Goddess', her sophisticated performances and exquisite ‘bombshell’ curves have dazzled audiences from London to Vegas. Her impressive client roster includes top names such as Dior, Cartier, and Damien Hirst, and she has graced a host of prestigious venues including the Whitehall Banqueting House and L.A.’s Orpheum Theatre.
Immodesty honed her dance skills from a young age, having been captivated as a girl by the art of Parisian showgirls. By 1998, inspired by the glamour of iconic screen seductresses such as Ava Gardner, and Sophia Loren as well as camp kitsch icons such as Jayne Mansfield, Liberace and Grace Jones, Immodesty took her craft to the next level and developed her showgirl acts that finally brought burlesque shimmying back into the mainstream.
In 2002 she captured the attention of the critically-acclaimed Goldfrapp and joined the group on their sell-out tour. Having been catapulted into the limelight following her stint performing with the band, she was then widely credited with spearheading European burlesque’s glittering revival.
In 2005 Immodesty headlined the first ever theatrical West End burlesque show, which ran for 5 months and by 2007 she had been crowned the ‘Reigning Queen of Burlesque’ in Las Vegas’ Burlesque Hall of Fame. Invitations to debate at the Oxford Union and take residency at the eminent Ascot racecourse followed, and in 2008 Immodesty bought her critically acclaimed, sell-out extravaganza The Tease Show to London’s Koko, with her inimitable compère Julian Clary.
Her debut novel 'Tease', her first foray into the genre of ‘bonkbuster’ fiction, went straight in to the top 20 Hardback charts. Immodesty is already underway with her follow up novel 'Strip', due to be published in 2010.
This year, Immodesty was also signed to EMI Music, and preparations are in full swing to release the first film of the Tease Show, Immodesty's annual extravaganza which this year saw her accompanied by Julian Clary and musician supreme Marc Almond, alongside her top showgirl pals from across the world.
As the ‘Reigning Queen of Burlesque’ Immodesty’s acts include some of the most legendary and stunning centrepieces in the world; her enormous glittering vintage telephone, her eight foot high rococo rocking horse, and her crystal encrusted bath to name a few, and with her exquisite array of ornate costumes which ooze sparkling Hollywood chic, she always delivers a beautiful, elaborate spectacle. Bringing mega-watt glitz to the masses, Immodesty continues to dazzle audiences with her own unique brand of opulent, high voltage glamour.
