A Night of Timeless Glamour: Judging the Lili St. Cyr Awards

What an extraordinary honor it was to be invited as a judge for the Lili St. Cyr Awards at the Montréal Burlesque Festival — a celebration of artistry, empowerment, and timeless allure. The evening shimmered with sequins, satin, and stories, each performance a tribute to the legacy of burlesque and its enduring influence on modern glamour.

Burlesque gave rise to the sensational pasties as we know them today — an emblem of confidence and creativity that continues to inspire fashion, performance, and personal expression. With the vibrant revival of this art form, I find myself endlessly inspired by its passion, boldness, and unapologetic glamour.

For me, burlesque is more than performance — it’s part of our DNA. It celebrates the beauty of individuality, the power of confidence, and the artistry of transformation. Each feathered fan, rhinestone, and wink from the stage tells a story of liberation and timeless style.

I’m endlessly inspired by those who keep this glowing tradition alive — the artists, designers, and visionaries who bring burlesque’s magic to life. It’s proof that real glamour isn’t worn; it’s lived, felt, and shared with the world. ✨
