After taking these acts all over the world and performing in hundreds of different venues in countless cities, states and countries The Pretty Things Peepshow has proven that our ladies know how to translate charm, class and sex appeal into any language.

The Pretty Things Peepshow Sideshow acts:
Insectavora is more then just a pretty face, covered in tattoos, she also perform some of sideshows most traditional acts. From the dangerous and daring the alluring and amazing, you will see this strange girl perform whip cracking, fire eating and other amazing stunts.

BIO:
I’m a burlesque queen, pin-up and fetish model, and actor who lives and breathes glamour every moment of the day. My character has been compared to a cross between Louise Brookes’ playful demon with an innocent side, and Jane Russell’s character in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”, pure sass and sarcasm. This makes for a very mischievous, playful little dynamo of energy. I am also classically trained in ballet and jazz, as well as having experience in theater.
I perform at Jezebel Burlesque (the latest, hottest club in Toronto), guest star with troupes around the world, and teach workshops. I have been blessed to grace the stage with such legendary performers as Jo “Boobs” Weldon, Coco Framboise and Roxi Delite. I have performed for Belinda Stronach, Fritz Helder and the Phantoms, Jeannie Becker, Galen Weston, Steven and Chris of the Steven and Chris Show, Michael King, Avril Lavigne, the Toronto Maple Leaf players, and many more. I am also in the process of opening my own school of burlesque in Toronto this summer with Emmanuelle La Gitane, at Mad for Dance Studio, to share my knowledge with other up and coming performers and just those who want to do it for fun!

The daughter of an Irish showgirl and an eccentric Viennese aristocrat, her shows reflect her unusual background, with clouds of butterflies that really fly out from her clothes as she hovers en Pointe. True to the original spirit of Burlesque and Vaudeville, her beautifully choreographed routines take in everything from the ethereal, the breath-taking and the beautiful to the macabre and the comic: with influences including everyone from Anita Berber and Loie Fuller to Rita Hayworth, David Lynch and Maya Deren, taking in everything from the Pre-Raphaelites and French literature to Surrealism and more along the way.

She is a Carnival Queen with a show-stopping 17” corseted waist, a doll, a butterfly, a peacock, a swan, a silver-screen siren, a living Klimt painting, a sorcerer – and anything her imagination can create! Fusing old-school glamour with even older-school strangeness as well as an up-to-date sense of humour and fun, her performances utilise elements of her varied performance background, including ballet, tap, circus, acting and even opera.

In demand all over the world and having amassed an enviable list of past clients (including Roberto Cavalli and the Paris Ritz) and sparkling reviews (including features in French Playboy), you can also see her making her mark on the big screen from Hollywood to Bollywood and in a brace of music videos for top bands.

As well as having all the style of Hollywood’s Golden Age or a Victorian ingénue she is also clever with a mischievous sense of humour. As such, she is currently collaborating on a book – on Carnys, no less.

Not only is Vicky a classic beauty with a true vintage look and an all natural 34-22-34 figure, but her skills as a trained costumier (honed during a degree at Central Saint Martins) ensure a range of spectacular and unique costumes and corsetry. As an avid collector, her wardrobe is a museum of eclecticism and contains almost 1000 pieces of original vintage.

With her magical repertoire, elaborate wardrobe, 8ft cresent moon and her own travelling Victorian Vaudeville Theatre, Vicky adds the essential flair of mischief and mystery to any show.

Catch her if you can…”

PRESS REVIEWS:

“Vicky Butterfly, le papillon victorien qui cartonne en Europe, nous précise que c’est un pouvoir qu’exerce la femme artiste. En quelque sorte le pouvoir de parvenir à un érotisme en sollicitant les courbes et stéréotypes de la femme, pour mieux l’en affranchir.” – French Playboy

“Miss Vicky Butterfly is lush. She has the extraordinary curves, the bee-waist and ripe thighs of a Regency poule de luxe crossed with a Bettie Page vixen’s face… all of us at the table, irrespective of gender, have developed minor crushes and we watch mesmerised as the butterflies that cover her pearly bosom flutter off on to the floor… making delicious little moues, she engages us in flirtatious eye-contact: when the peacock feathers waft from Miss Vicky’s body during her Peacock Lament, it doesn’t matter if you temporarily lose the ability to wield cutlery. But we had fun. Whoop whoop and hell, yeah.” – Marina O’Loughlin, the London Metro

“…wittily deadpan…(her) way with feathers gave me faith in burlesque.” -Time Out
