Red Hots Burlesque’s National Treasure: Moxie Rhodes

MOXIE RHODES
WISCONSIN

Like the tattoo of Petunia on Pete & Pete, our National Treasure Moxie Rhodes has Divine’s likeness on her shoulder, and she’s just as likely to dance. Since 2006 Rhodes has performed burlesque in Madison, Wisconsin, and has been co-producing Peach Pie Caburlesque since 2011. “I feel lucky to be part of a troupe and collaborate with them,” Rhodes tells Red Hots Burlesque. “We are cabaret as well as burlesque so we incorporate singing into our acts. I prefer diy costuming as I am broke and as well inspired by simple problem solving. I love traveling and leaving my safety net… and meeting new folks.” The troupe recently hosted Fierce International Queer Burlesque Festival in their fair city, which brought queer performers together from all around the country. This blonde bombshell blends an old school style of tease and humor, mixed well with modern satire and character-heavy musical renditions. “I prefer an appearance of mild gender ambiguity,” says Rhodes, who has performed at the Movers, Shakers and Innovators showcase at The Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend 2011. “Being a full on sex kitten but doing it while making people laugh is what gets my interest. My goal is to make my audience think and feel good about striptease with ease.”

WHAT TO DO IN WISCONSIN: “Come swim in our lakes! Come get lost in our woods! Please enjoy local Microbrews and fresh as well as fried cheese curds! (this is coming from a lactose intolerant) Lots of amazing German cuisine; sauerkraut mustard and brats!”
