hello,
as some of you may know, i put up a recent post (newbie) to try and get a helping hand in how to use this site.
now my main problem is my name.
in all seriousness people kinky cola isnt very burlesque is it.
PLEASE HELP!
any ideas friends?

Try combining your real name, or a nickname, or perhaps a name you don't have but have always liked with a favourite thing, movement, word etc. Translate things into other languages like French, it can throw up some great phonetic possibilities. Be creative and don't worry about whether it makes sense or not!

I'll try to think of some more. It also depends on what kind of person you are too. If you could give us and indication of your onstage personality, I'm sure that might help.

I posted a few months ago about finding a new name, as my old one was too common, now I can't decide between Cherry Pop and Lola RollsRoyce! I just made up Lola RollsRoyce for myspace as Cherry Pop was already taken, but now I might keep it, was does everyone think?

Think about your favourite things, colours, gemstones, music, flavours, cars,and youy favourite era in burlesque history xx

I love the creative names folks come up with.
I love Heda Nism! That one cracks me up!
How about Dollface Braun Swagger. or something with Tit Shaker in it. Luscious Gy Rations.
oh fun! I'm really just playing around, but I betcha after enough of that a good name would pop up!

One evening I was watching t.v. very upset as I had no inspiration for my burlesque name. . . then the dulux paint advert came on . . . . by the end of the advert. . . Miss Diamond Blush was born!

Inspiration can come from many different places and when you least expect it! Lol

have fun deciding!

You could use a spoonerism like:
Sue Puckers
Linda Wicker
(not ideal I know, but perhaps you can think of a better one)

or something like:
Donna Kebab
Jenny Taylor
(also not great, but more along the lines of Sugar Kane perhaps)

Or the missus:
Miss Chief
Miss Fire
Miss Fortune
Miss Adventure
(there'll be loads of these)

Or play on a prop name:
Catherine Ninetails
(sozzers, that's the only one I can think of)

Good luck, kiddo!

I occasionally direct my students to this when they're stumped. it's not the way to find something original, but it is good for laughs and can certainly spark your own ideas. I got the "Jezebel" part of my name there, and hit on the express when a friend made a lascivious joke about All Aboard. Hope it helps:
