It is not often I wish I was somewhere other than Melbourne, but the incredible Sugar Blue Burlesque troop have made me entirely jealous of the people of Perth. Based over on the west coast of Australia (yes a very long way from here), Sugar Blue are Perth’s own burlesque beauties and what a talent! Thankfully for me, they made a cameo appearance here at The Order of Melbourne last Saturday night, and it was a truly world class evening. In fact, I am so disappointed that I cannot give you dates for a big Australian tour, because they certainly should do a country wide extravaganza. I’m thinking of organising a petition to talk them into it.
And here is why. I don’t want to give you any spoilers of their delicious acts, so I’ve chosen some pics that should give you a taste of their talent without giving too much away. The costumes were particularly superior and the narratives both surprising and delightful. There was not a moments pause as thesladies took the evening up a notch with each performance. You know that feeling when you are watching something and think to yourself, “It can’t get any better than this.” and then it does?! Yep, that is the feeling I had as I stood stage side, snapping away in the hope of capturing the thrill that is Sugar Blue Burlesque.
I love my job!
YAY PERTH FTW!!
Those costumes are so, so, so luxurious. Fantastic photos.

ah i love these! cupcake pasties! lol
Ooo fantastic costumes, especially the first one! And a male drag burlesque beauty?! I love it! I have only ever seen one other male burlesque dancer who I thought was quite fantastic and unexpected.
Love your blog.

Sugar Blue love you SKM! Thankyou so much for coming. You were a delight!
We’ll be back, that’s for sure! Watch out Australia!
Brilliant shots – you really captured the fun! I love the parasol in the first photo, so gorgeous <3
Go Sugar Blue – you make us proud in the west!
looks like a fun night out
Sugar Blue are amazing!
I did a documentary on them last year which aired on Channel 7, when I was back in Perth. The girls do such amazing work. I hope they visit back to Melbourne soon as I didn’t get a chance to see them this time around.
