From the far off land of Aus… Ruby Slippers! Kodachrome Queen and sweetheart of the Silver Screen, Ruby Slippers is an MC and burlesque striptease artiste hailing from Perth, Western Australia. A member of Perth’s premier burlesque and vintage dance troupe Sugar Blue Burlesque since 2011, Ruby has graced the stage as a solo performer, teacher, costumier, curator and MC both in her hometown and at Fringe and arts festivals across the country. Rumoured to be the lesbian love child of Judy Garland and Lucille Ball, her mothers’ influence is evident in her camp, comedic, and impeccably costumed performance. Charismatic and coiffured, she’ll charm the pants off you and add them to her already extensive wardrobe!
This year Ruby Slippers has been selected to perform at the New Zealand Burlesque Festival, and behind her glittering facade is a performer who needs your help!
How The Funds Will Be Used
Funds raised from Middle Earth Meets Oz will assist in covering air fares to the festival (approx $1100), accommodation in Palmerston North (where the festival will be held) and transfers. I feel so fortunate to come from a community of hard working and supportive performers who pour all of their spare time and funds (and even time and funds they don't have!) into their craft, and I'm excited to represent my country as well as the incredible Perth burlesque community on an foreign stage at an up-and-coming international burlesque festival!
The Challenges
It's always been a challenge to ask for help, but today I'm calling on my peers for support! Every little bit counts, and I look forward to sharing my adventure with you.
Lifetime Hug Subscription
For just $5, you can subscribe to a lifetime of hugs from Ruby Slippers! Will it be a friendly cuddle? Kisses on the cheek to add a continental touch? The choices are endless!

Solo Workshop
If you've got a concept you want to get off the ground, then I want to help! I've been teaching the Solo Performer Course with Sugar Blue Burlesque for the past 18 months, and seeing performers bring their solo dream to life is one of my favourite things in the world. You provide the space (Greater Perth area only!) and I'll come to you. We'll spend an hour going over your concept, costume, routine and character to help get your routine show ready!
