Evelyn Vinyl
(Performer)
Evelyn Vinyl spent many years doing theatrical costume design before realizing it was more fun to take the clothes off rather than make them. After studying the art of tease with the New York School of Burlesque, she hit the stage dancing and hasn’t stopped since. A Renaissance woman in style and skill, Evelyn is one part femme fatale and one part rock and roll. As though Marlene Dietrich and Joan Jett had a love-child.

Nikki Le Villain
(Performer)
Performing bellydance since 1998 and burlesque since 2005, I have appeared at numerous private and public events all over the CT, MA, RI, NYC and New Orleans areas. I have started a new burlesque/variety cabaret night in CT, BURLESQUE NOUVEAU, and have been a regular performer at Wasabasco burlesque, Revealed! burlesque, and Red Light cabaret/burlesque. I have graced the stages of Court of Lazarus, the Fang Club NYC, the House of Blues in New Orleans (my home away from home), countless NYC venues, and many CT performance clubs. I am always looking to meet fellow belly dance and burlesque performers, club owners, fans, models, photographers, etc. My signature burlesque acts include: "From Dusk 'til Dawn", Egyptian Snake Dance, Absinthe Fairy, and Burn the Flames. I am well noted for performing with my snakes. Initially taking up traditional bellydancing, I would later branch out into more free-form style of tribal dance. Though primarily self-taught, I have been thankful to study in classes with Suhaila Salimpur, Sharon Kihara, Jeniviva, as well burlesque star Catherine D'Lish.
