Photo by POC Photo.
Sailor St. Claire is a curvaceous redhead with learned mind and an A+ anatomy. With her scintillating wit and charm, Sailor channels academic excellence into burlesque bravura. Since 2009, The Showgirl Scholar has been putting her knowledge of the literary canon to more-than-scholarly uses, crafting elegant and erudite stripteases that offer audiences an education in the humanitease.
In addition to producing and hosting Tuesday Tease, Sailor performs as a soloist throughout Seattle, and as a member of Sinner Saint Burlesque. Sailor has also graced stages in Portland, San Francisco, Edinburgh and was awarded Legend’s Choice by April March at the Great Burlesque Exposition in Boston, where she also won the title of Best Soloist in 2015.
As an emcee, Sailor has hosted on stages both large and small, from the tiny, historic stage of Seattle's Pink Door Cabaret to the grand showroom at the Orleans Casino in Las Vegas, home of the Burlesque Hall of Fame competition. Armed with wit, charm, and gin, she's a smart-mouthed smart-ass with an award-winning ass.

Although she has performed a handful of times, her true passion is exposing her derriere in the name of cleanliness. Sometimes clumsy, sometime sassy, sometimes not-really-sure-what-is-happening-but-always-sexy, Huney Bush is picking up what Seattle Burlesque is throwing down! Buuuuuuush!
