Ginger Nibbles...

She’s a little bit spicy and very sweet, can you handle the energy and joy that is Ginger Nibbles? A proud disabled woman from Darumbal Country, Ginger Nibbles is a fan of dance and getting her gear off, so of course she loves burlesque! When she’s not shaking her bits on stage, Ginger can be found flinging her clothes off and jumping in the lake, nerding out over numbers, and enjoying all kinds of music. A graduate of Teaseable dance with Empress Eyrie, Ginger Nibbles is pleased to bring her brand of burlesque to the world.

Image description:
Ginger Nibbles is a pale skinned woman with long ginger coloured hair. In this image she is wearing a long, sparkly teal coloured mermaid tail and a black sparkly corset. She has her right hand on her head and her left hand holding her hair up. The background is black and she appears to be floating. There is an Empress Eyrie logo in the bottom right corner.

Lulu Venom is definitely going to warm you up.
Don’t let the shy, soft and innocent appearance fool you - Lulu Venom is fierce, confident and an embodiment of a bratty, filthy slut.
Under the plastic, hyperpop, bubblegum pink aesthetics, it lies the nerve to unapologetically celebrate bimbo culture: where hyperfemininity is power, sexuality is self-owned, and “slut” is a badge of honour.
Prepare to be hot and bothered, inspired, empowered, with the room steamy and your jaws on the floor.

Lulu Venom has dark wavy hair to their ears and are wearing feminine style makeup, they are of Asian appearance. They are standing to the left side of a large oval mirror, and are reaching forward with both hands touching the top left and middle of the right side of the mirror. The main image of them, being a reflection. She is dressed in a pink and black body suit that covers their breasts with straps over the shoulders and gaps between the top section and the bikini bottom piece and along the sides. It has the text on it (in reverse) ‘Game Over’. They have pink and white kitten ears on, stripey pink and white gloves, with a leather strap around their left thigh. We see the tops of red and black stripey socks and they have a studded black collar on with chains. He has a slight smile on his face. From the mirror reflection and the background of the mirror, he seems to be standing in a bedroom, that has off white furnishing.
