Tamara the Trapeze Lady
Tamara the Trapeze Lady has been gayly spreading love and glitter from above since 1993. Producer of the Fallen Women Follies, the Columbia City Cabaret and the originator of Burlesque Behind the Pink Door, she's dangled from some of the finest rafters in the world. Seattle's original Aerial Burlesque Darling and Infamous Cat Lady of Lading Island can be summed up something like this: She's played London. She's played France. They've all seen her underpants. Thailand, Spain, and Italy have all been left more glittery. Her aerial feats leave them breathless. She dazzles with her wit. Her bawdy antics have them pondering, "Who's she kidding with the LADY bit?" She's always a lady, even when she's on the floor. (wink wink!)

Loving plucker of pitches and vibrato itches, tuner crooner and groove gooner. Sweet apple honey cinnamon pie powerchords and crimson cherry tart lips murmur, with your eyes closed, one marriage of another's mammaric ecstasy; slinking in a theatre, in a thought. An auditorium. Your ass in a sweet. Your seat enthroned. Jewel encrusted applause, please, for the varieties of Mendel's peas that have brought us here today. The you you share in fulfilling this daily psychic dialectic through the burlesque of Western consciousness.
