My name, Scarlette LaMonte was born at 3am I think two days before joining ministry of burlesque .
It was originally going to be Jessie Scarlette. Scarlette being a middle name my best friend gave to me years ago upon realising that I didn't have one!
But it just didn't sit with me right. Then one night I was watching Singing In the Rain thinking about how much fun Lina Lamont would have been to play for Jean Hagen and also at the time i was also browsing though Len Rothe's book Queens of Burlesque when i came accross a performer called Lily Lamont.
And there it was- Scarlette LaMonte. I added the 'e' just like with Scarlette and although sometimes it gets mispronoucned Scar-let-ey La-Mont-ey i like it and hope to never change it.
the end

My name is a nickname a friend gave me when i was about 17, I have since changed my real name to cherryfox by deed poll!

The first routine i ever did was like a little bow peek-esk routine so i came up with the name Beau Peek, I had it for a couple of months but decided it was too similar sounding to bow peek - and when ever i was introduced all i could think about was the first routine i ever did.

I went to uni with a girl called Joanna Rocks and i always had serious name envy, so i pinched the second half of her name and Beau Rocks was born. It helps that i love my rock music too

A few weeks ago I discovered another Beau Peek burlesquer, so i'm glad I changed my name years ago coz that would have been a pain!!!

haha these are fun...

....Penny= i need a few!!! and feathers is the most sexiest thing i could think of lol

I want a new name. My art name is Serendipity Sky, I might use that dunno

I'm named after a prop cat that a friend of mine made for a play I was working on. She was a beautiful white Persian and very glamorous!

My best friend used to call me "Wildflower" after a song by Sheryl Crow that meant a lot to us both. Then when i started modelling it kind of stuck with me and i added the "Lady" part when i started burlesque . I think it suits me and i've never come across anyone with a similar name.

Mine came about due to a friend always calling me ma cherie the de amoure bit is just because it helps in to tranlation into dear the love roughly speaking.

Its was either that or trixx domitrix

I used to be called a rather naughty tongue in cheek name. Than having become rather disillusioned with it I asked the MoB to help me. A rather special lady (with a special place ALWAYS in my heart) came along and named me. Her name was Broomstick Pilot on these forums. I have to say she has been rather scarse of late... but she knew exactly what suited me and I have to agree I love it. One of my friends has dyslexia and can spell it perfectly as its spelt phonetically which is brilliant so I kept it. That said LOADS of people drop the extra 'H' out of Khisses which is mildly annoying! LOL
