Two of my friends whom I burly-grew up with in Tease-Able - Accessible Burlesque Classes with Empress Eyrie , also co-producers at The Q***r Variety Show - Dread Sexy and Temerity Outrè on the same stage at the same time!

✨STUDENT SPOTLIGHT✨
DOUBLE TROUBLE!

Dread Sexy & Temerity Outré

Meeting in their first ever burlesque beginners class, this delectable duet normally have very different performance styles.
Growing from strangers into Burlesque besties, these Q***r Variety Show production team members both suffered health issues that made them think they would never get back on stage.
But the fluttering of burly love never left, and thanks to the love and support of CBA, celebrate burly love with Dread Sexy and Temerity Outré.
