It was a night of tassels talent at Hotties, at NineteenTen, thanks to the stellar line-up at Hot Sauce Burlesque School.

Showcasing headliners and masterclass students, and hosted by the indomitable Lyra la Belle, who founded Hot Sauce in 2017, Hotties is an inclusive and riotous celebration of all things burlesque and more, embodying everything that is slick, sexy cabaret.

With seamless choreography and killer moves, the audience was treated to an hour of the hottest burlesque, drag, dance, ballroom, and arguably some ill-advised use of office supplies.

Headlined by the stunning Miss Curvella and Lizzy Baker, with a special performance by the dazzling Ms la Belle herself, these talented performers raised the roof(top bar) with their incredible skills, from fan dancing, an impromptu bachelorette strip tease, arguably the world’s greatest purple suit, and some dizzying dance moves that elevated the art of burlesque to another level, much to the delight of the patrons.

Ever the sparkling performer and gracious host, Ms la Belle kept the audience entertained and on their toes with her sharp wit and riotous banter.

It was a delight to watch the incredibly talented Hot Sauce masterclass students, including Dorian Courtisan, Angel Evita and Let Them Eat Jake, work their magic.

Hotties is a slick and sexy delight.
