Would you describe your act as seductive or slapstick? I’m neither. I’m a cheesecake pin-up poesy pants!
What has been your most nerve-racking performance so far? I would have thought it would have been in front of the biggest audience, for myself and possibly all the other girls I was performing with, at the Headline Honeys’ show for Teesside University Freshers’ Week. More than 600 people but I found that exhilarating more than anything. I guess THE most nerve- racking was the two years running I performed for Rebellion Festival which is a punk and alternative festival in Blackpool.
Tell us about the show you produce, The Headline Honeys Burlesque Show. The Headline Honeys are a bevy of Nor thern beauties including myself; singing sensation Lola Rainbows; classically trained, highland hottie, Betty D'Light and our new addition to the troupe, Ebony Silk along with her signature shimmy shake that will knock your socks off! As well as the performers we have pin-up model Little Gem as our compere, and another well-known model, and former performer, Miss Zara Ann as our DJ.
You’re an experienced performer with lots of friends on the burlesque scene – at what point did you realise you’d ‘made it’? I do have a lot of friends on the burlesque scene which I feel very for tunate for however I don’t think I’ve ‘made it’ at all yet. I feel I have so much more to do. I guess I’m a workaholic!
You carry yourself with the poise of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, but we suspect Frankii’s wild at heart. Can you share a secret about the girl behind the balloons? I would never reveal my secrets. It’s always more interesting that way.
What advice would you give to guys and gals who dream of becoming burlesque performers? Do your research, you need to be aware of who came before you and know who the legends are. There are so many performers out there now. It’s impor tant to try and have something about you, to set you apar t from the rest. Get creative!
