Bios
Ginger Twist
Whether I’m dressing to impress or impressing while undressing, I’m all about giving you a little something… a little peep… a little show of sorts into the dramatic, daring and seductive world of Ginger Twist! Since my debut just over two years ago in a fundraiser for Beyond Bandits Theatre Co. entitled "An Evening with Ginger Twist and Friends" I have had the privilege of performing throughout NY and also in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California and Texas with some of the greatest names in the industry. I believe that life should be about indulging in everything that brings us happiness. I derive great joy from sharing what I do and hope that you will too! http://thegingertwist.com/

Zoe Ziegfeld
Born of a midget and an elephant-riding showgirl, Zoe Ziegfeld has freakshow coursing through her veins. Trained in classical ballet since she could walk, Zoe has taken everything she learned about being elegant and graceful, and applies them to her more taboo performance choices. (Who said you can't be smutty and sophisticated at the same time?) Whether she looks like the super-sexy spacewoman of your dreams, a five-foot-tall box of chocolates, or just the purple-haired girl next door, she is always looking to cause a scene. Chances are good that you’ll want to get a closer look at this tantalizing terpsichorean - but be careful not to get too close…"
