The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Seventh Level of Hell! Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
About me: Camper than a row of tents!
Cheesier than a ripe camembert!
Louder than a foghorn!
Happier than none other than Larry himself!
Yes ladies and gentlemen, it's time for Velvet Voix de Ville!
I recently launched myself with relish onto the UK's North East burlesque scene performing with the stunning Bordello Bordello agency. Having been performing since the age of fourteen, I would now define myself as a theatrical vocalist with a name that no-one can pronounce. Sometimes a little dark, sometimes a little funny (both ha ha and peculiar), if you want an expressive singer with very sparkly original costumes who can dance and write their own material then it's Velvet Voix de Ville you require.
Heaven help Newcastle, it knows not what it has spawned.
Who I'd like to meet: David Tennant and Richard Armitage. Together preferably. But we won't go into that...
I'd like to take afternoon tea with Liza Minnelli and Stephen Fry as they seem thoroughly well mannered and amiable. There would be no bun fight over the porcelain cake stand. I had thought that it may be lovely to have Mr Russell Brand over for dessert (read into that what you wish) but suspect that the heady fantasy may well surpass the reality.
Anyone from my list of Heroes - dead or alive, I'm not fussy as long as circumstances dictated that I was not in the company of a rotting corpse. I don't go in much for those kind of shenanigans you see.
On the other hand - meeting lots of lovely friendly people will suit me just fine.
Hey hot stuff! Its time for another fun filled night of tassel twirling and shimmy shaking! Thats right, Borddello Bordello are back at Perdu for Bordello Bordello, Burlesque Burlesque, so good they named it twice, (twice!) Come down and see us this Tuesday.
