Winner of the Erotic Awards –Strip-tease artist of the Year 2008, member of Equity and IUSW.org.

1} How long have you been dancing and did you had any training?
I’ve been dancing for two years now, which for five months has been full-time. When I started working on the pub circuit (I began with London clubs but only did them for the first 9 months), I took some pole dancing classes from dancer called Solitaire, who later became a good friend. Later on I also attended a course with Elena at Poledancingschool.com. As a kid I did jazz and modern dance classes – something I’d like to get back now as a hobby... 

2} How did you come to first start stripping? 
A company I had been working for went bust, and ended up owing me a lot of money. A friend of a friend was dancing at in a central London club and I went to see her one night....After seeing the club and the girls I decided to give it a go – Scarily, I took to it like a duck to water!

3} Anybody been a major influence on your career? I’ve met some fantastic girls along the way so far and there are many girls I publicly applaud for their attitude, their love and pride for their work and their gorgeousness. Solitaire, Chiqi, Ima-Doll, Franca...the list goes on and on. I guess I’ve always been a sucker for showgirls though, my favourite film being Cabaret (with Liza Minelli) and I’ve always been fascinated with Josephine Baker. 

4} What is the part of stripping you enjoy most? The connection with the audience. A good performance/show/dance always has that and that’s the magic. 

5} What is the best compliment you have ever received? Receiving the Erotic Award – best Striptease artist 2008 award – just to be nominated was fantastic!

6} What advice would you give to a new girl starting out now? No-one’s died on stage so really it’s not that terrible to give it a go – but only continue if you enjoy it!

7} Do you like role playing and have you a favourite? I love characters and role-playing... gender-blending is good fun and playing with sub/dom power balances...

8} Where can we see you work ? I work at the White Horse at Shoreditch, a venue I love to bits to work at. I also work for Angels Exotic dancers and Tease agency, do private bookings/events and club nights, where we just do go-go, podium and pole dancing (not stripping!).
