* Dietrich's Rose

AWARD-WINNING ACT

A tribute to the sophisticated and gender-blurring sensuality of silver-screen star Marlene Dietrich.

Winner of ‘2nd Runner-Up’ in Queen Competition (2025 Burlesque Hall of Fame)

“There is a pre-Code Hollywood movie scene from 1930, where Marlene Dietrich (dressed in a tuxedo) pulls a flower out of a woman’s hair and then kisses her on the mouth. It was the first time a leading lady kissed another woman on screen. It was so sensual and powerful – I wanted to be Marlene in that scene. I wanted to be the woman. I wanted to be the flower.”
