The fourth season of the London based Burlesque Idol competition is now under way. I have been privileged to have been a sponsor over the past seasons – the winner of each heat enjoys a free photoshoot at the studio.
As a consequence, there have been a succession of talented lovely ladies visiting the studio over the years, and it is wonderful to see how well-known many of them have become on the burlesque circuit…and not just here in the UK. I thought it would be fun to post a retrospective gallery of some of the heat winners of the past years – see how many burlesque stars you recognise…
And the heat winners are, in no particular order…
Lolo Brow - makeup by Bella Noell
Trixee Sparkle - channelling HRH!

Violet Blaze - as Miss Jessica
Hotcake Kitty - a la Elvgren

Good luck to all the entrants of Burlesque Idol season four. And if you have not won a heat and are still really wanting to shoot with me, send me an email, and as an entrant I will make you a very special offer!
It was an absolute joy to shoot with you, Terry, and it is an honour to be among such an amazing parade of women. xoxoxo
