Leyla Rose's Interests

Music
Leyla Rose Moon Dance at the Candy Box (from Miss Carrie). Vocals by Imelda May and music from The World Famous Palookaville Burlesque Orchestra. After well over 12000 views on YouTube this video was deemed "inappropriate" and was banned. It lead to the shutdown of all the Candy Box videos. But it has been relaunched on Veoh thanks to Glamglittercritter. I don't understand what's so obscene, but here it is. Judge for yourself!

About me: With her enchanting smile, feline grace, marshmallow skin and retro-vamp chic, performers rarely get more intriguing than Leyla Rose. After spending nine years as a sought-after professional bellydancer she evolved into a wickedly voluptuous and charismatic burlesque artist who is now well established in the higher echelons of the UK burlesque scene, and regularly performs in major cities abroad, sharing the bill with some of burlesque's most prestigious names. A remarkably versatile performer, she can effortlessly evoke classic elegance as a traditional stripteaser, but is equally at home as a bumping, grinding, tassel twirling, rock 'n' roll show-stopper with a knock-out shimmy shake that is second to none.

"She's an uncanny combination of Vampira and Bettie Page - expert at the slightly-sinister raised eyebrow, she can fantastically pull off the shocked damsel-in-distress without missing a beat. Leyla Rose, we salute you!"
Helen Highwater, creator of The Pin-Up Parade (www.pin-upparade.com)

BBC Birmingham
"Leyla Rose has most definitely been granted muse status"
RockStar Vanity Photography
"When Ireland's Leyla Rose, the buxom brunette with translucent skin headlining the show, steps on stage, a hush comes over the room. Her bosom spills over the dark red satin femme-fatale dress, and her pristine face is framed in long black curls. She has the room transfixed as she deftly removes layers of clothing. Unlacing a sequinned bustier, she wraps her breasts in a white mink shawl before turning around to shimmy(...). The tension in the room reaches critical mass - not a breath, not a cough, not a movement from the audience - just before she reveals her abundant breasts covered in rhinestone pasties. Just a peek. But it's enough to ensnare the audience"
Iceland Air's Atlantica Magazine
"She is one ferocious walking firestorm!" Grymmscape (www.deviantArt.com)
"A cathedral of curves" theinkhead (www.deviantArt.com)
