Wilde Frankii British Female Crown


Frankii Wilde is an archetypal burlesque beauty: champagne-haired, ivory-skinned and in possession of a smile that seems to have been stolen from Hollywood. Frankii’s blonde bombshell looks have earned her comparisons with Marilyn


Monroe, and her seductive allure aligns her with stars such as Veronica Lake. Retro gets ready for a Wilde ride.


Frankii, you’re from the chilly heights of the North East – how does a girl become a burlesque performer in such a cold climate?! You cheeky devils, we have central heating you know! I don’t think the climate has much to do with how a girl becomes a burlesque performer – I’ve never been asked to perform outside in the cold…yet.


You seem to have a classic burlesque style – who and what has inspired your look? The classical era of burlesque is my personal favourite. My look is a mixture of so many blonde bombshells. Gwen Stefani caught my attention from a young age, which led to me discovering who she was inspired by. You can’t help but be inspired by Marilyn Monroe, Jayne


Mansf ield – and I’ve been called the Jayne Mansf ield of burlesque – Veronica Lake and even Brigitte Bardot.


What one thing could you not live without? My eyebrow pencil. I’m very par ticular about my eyebrows.


If you could live in any decade in history when would you choose? I would want to experience the 40s & 50s because the fashion evolved so much between those periods. It would be great to walk down the street without getting funny looks for wearing red lipstick, or having your pin curls in a headscarf while you’re setting your hair for a show.
