After five years training in mainstream theatre, Twinkle Starr decided to rebel and join the burlesque revolution. Described as 'out of the ordinary' and 'a delight', her skills in acting, singing and dancing have been put to good use to provide the jaded masses with a bit of tongue-in-cheek naughtiness! She creates a range of characters on stage, from a not-so-innocent Little Bo Peep, to a raunchy Desperate Housewife, or a drunken Seaside Pinup, she has a character to suit many an occasion. Her current project is 'Love Lili', a Nazi spy lady.
Twinkle Starr is also a versatile pinup model, described as a 'camera dancer', she loves to flirt with the camera, and creates classic pinup poses with charm and humour. Take a peek at 'My Photos' for her latest portfolios.
Another string recently added to Twinkle's bow is the art of Dee-Jaying! She plays a blend of rock n roll, 60s pop, soul, disco and glam rock, all perfect for boogieing to!
In addition to all this, Twinkle recently turned her hand to promoting, and launched Carlisle's very first rockabilly and burlesque club night, The AlleyCat Club! Skilled local DJs spin a mix of rockabilly, psychobilly, surf and other retro classics, while every half hour the audience are wowed by a performance from a beautiful burlesque dancer.
Twinkle now teaches burlesque to beginners and at hen parties! if you fancy having a go at learning to bump, grind, shimmy and shake, or want a fun glam hen party with a difference, get in touch for more details!
Twinkle Starr is available for professional burlesque bookings, a supporting DJ act for band gigs and burlesque events, and costume/designer shoots for corsetry/retro clothing designers. Email her at alleycatclub@googlemail.com.

A blonde bombshell bad-girl beats seven shades of hell out of rawhide and hickory, while her quick-draw, cocksure cowboy friend unloads his smouldering six strings straight into your gut. Four fine and feisty, untamed tracks of dusty barroom brawl and bluster, best served up neat with moonshine and good times. Fat riffs, black quiffs, southern fried style with a snarl and a smile; mariachi blues wearing dead man’s shoes, with a head full of cheap liquor and a hard rock heart.
Thank you to you and all your locals for making me feel very welcome on Saturday. We had a blast and I look forward to performing again soon for you. Hugs and love to all Willow xxx
