Tag Archives: Vivacious Miss Audacious

Hailed as the “Whirlwind with the Crimson Grin,” the Vivacious Miss Audacious is a versatile entertainer out of Michigan. She excels in an array of performance art: from burlesque and hulahooping, to fire dance, partner acrobatics, and glamour modeling. A performer since youth, Miss Audacious used to hoop in contests at vintage diners when she was young. This vibrant performer has performed at many festivals, including the Best of Midwest Burlesk Fest, The Boston Burlesque Exposition and the Windy City Burlesque Festival. Along with being an original member of Super Happy Funtime Burlesque (America’s weirdest nationally touring burlesque show), this free spirit also stays busy with the Pretty Things Peepshow and with Lil Darlins’ Vaudeville revue. She has toured internationally and is also the headmistress of Dr. Sketchy’s Grand Rapids, Michigan as well as the founder of her own business Audacious Hoops hula hoop company. We love this lady for being a skilled performer, but also for what she told hooping.org in an interview last year: “If you think burlesque is amoral, then don’t go to a show. But women hating on other women in a broad sense is damaging and un-helpful. I am the type of feminist who believes in self expression – and that includes makeup and sexuality.”
