Known as the modern day Lili St. Cyr, Vienna La Rouge began her burlesque career in the casually dressed city of Seattle in 2002.
She showed them a thing or two when it came to glamour, fashion, and of course the titillating art of classic Burlesque.
Now residing in California's south bay area, she continues the timeless tease.
Decked out in costumes that boast thousands of hand placed Swarovski crystals, she evokes bygone
eras. Her movements and attention to detail seem to capture moments in time when beauties and ecdysiasts like Anna Held, Gypsy Rose Lee, and Sally
Rand ruled the stage with style and class.
Miss La Rouge took her name after the timeless and romantic city of Vienna,
Austria and finds inspiration in its beauty, history, and eclectic mix of historical & modern culture. Although born and raised in Seattle, the city of Vienna
is also a place with deep family roots for this burlesque ingénue, dating
as far back as the 12th century.
Not only an award winning burlesque artist, Vienna is also an accomplished seamstress, and the designer and
sole creator of all her costumes and props.
The 1700s thru the 1950s
inspire both her stage routines and the costumes that grace them. Along with
almost 15 years of classical ballet training, she gets many of her ideas for
her numbers from the Belle Époque, vaudeville, the Ziegfeld Follies,
old Hollywood films, musicals, and the dramatic costuming of Edith Head and
Adrian.
Just a few of her idols include Austrian Empress Elizabeth ("Sisi"), Marlene Dietrich,
Anna Held, Gina Lollobrigida, Carole Lombard, Betty Grable, Lillie Langtry, Evelyn Nesbit, Camille Clifford, Edwardian actress Élise DeVére, Mona Vaughn, Sally Rand, and Gypsy Rose Lee. Stage props include everything
from a glass of absinthe, classic 3 to 4 foot ostrich feather fans, to a large satin boudoir cushion.
Currently, Vienna is performing all along the west coast between Seattle and San Francisco, and occasionally tours worldwide.
