NATIONAL TREASURE: Lola Spitfire

COLORADO

We especially love the ladies that heat up the coldest states: Lola Spitfire is not only the founder of Southern Colorado’s first and only burlesque, male burlesque and vaudevillian variety troupe, The Award Winning Peaks and Pasties, she’s also the producer of the Colorado Burlesque Festival. Like her names suggests, Lola Spitfire has a presence full of sass and attitude, with performances full of energy and humor. She also teaches burlesque classes that celebrate women and men of all shapes, sizes, and colors. “Women have been victims to the media’s view about how a woman’s body should look, and in my classes we eliminate any negativity bestowed upon women and celebrate and honor every body type,” Spitfire said to helenakaufman.com. Her troupe has been lighting a fire in Colorado since 2008. Also sanctioned by legend Satan’s Angel as “A Queen of the Fire Tassels,” Lola Spitfire is regularly listed in the Top 50 Burlesque Performers by 21st Century Burlesque.
