SUICIDE GIRLS ‘BLACKHEART BURLESQUE’ MARCH 2014 TOUR
SuicideGirls, the alternative beauty’s largest online community of pinup models had heads turning yesterday when they arrived in Melbourne for a photo shoot at the city’s legendary AC/DC Lane. The bad ass bombshells here in Australia as part of the Blackheart Burlesque tour, stripped down into various sci-fi and superhero outfits much to the keen interest of locals, workers and passerbys.
This unique tour promises to be unlike any other Burlesque show on the planet. Described by The Los Angeles times as an “art-sleaze phenomenon”, the Blackheart Burlesque Tour starts today at Billboard (170 Russell St) before travelling around the country.
SuicideGirls is an online community that celebrates alternative beauty and indie culture from around the world. Since 2001, tens of thousands of models have submitted millions of photos to the website hoping to earn official SuicideGirl status. The community carefully chooses the most unique, beautiful women from those submissions and invites them to join the SuicideGirls of the sexiest, smartest, most dangerous collection of outsider women in the world.
The Blackheart Burlesque previously toured North America for five years achieving sold-out headlining shows as well as opening for Guns N Roses and Courtney Love, and performing at music festivals across Europe.SuicideGirls: Blackheart Burlesque is back with all new performances replete with tongue-in-cheek humour and raw erotic sexuality.
With stripteases and performances poking fun at Star Wars, Avengers, Game of Thrones, Pulp Fiction and the Rocky Horror Picture Show, choreographer Manwe Sauls-Addison (Madonna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson) has assembled a troupe of the most talented SuicideGirls dancers to create the ultimate tribute to pop-culture that Burlesque has ever seen.
With over 6 million fans on Facebook and over a million weekly visitors to their website, the SuicideGirls have spent 12 years trying to change the internet’s idea of what makes a woman beautiful.
“This show was something else. The girls, besides being gorgeous as hell, are amazing and talented on stage.” (The Age Of Metal).
Whether you’re a loyal fan, burlesque connoisseur or merely curious, Suicide Girls: Blackheart Burlesque will undoubtedly provide an unconventional experience you won’t find anywhere else.
