Metalesque Fest is THIS WEEKEND!! After a year of planning, Fest weekend is officially upon us!!! We’re seriously excited to welcome our LEGENDARY 2023 headliner, 🌹✨Velvet Ice! ✨🌹 Velvet Ice (Seattle WA) was a 1970s and 1980s Rock n Roll stripper. As a young adult in California, she watched the burlesque show at the San Francisco Follies across the street from where she lived and instantly fell in love with the art form. Soon after, she made the leap into dancing with a new concept she called “hippie burlesque,” adapting her dance style to more modern music of the time, early metal and rock n roll! She cites this time as “one of the best things I love about my life. I loved the portrayal of the sensuous emotion of that era. I think I was a frustrated musician and I learned that dance is just another instrument of emotional expression.” Currently, Velvet Ice appears at the annual Burlycon Burlesque Education Convention (Seattle WA), Burlesque Hall of Fame ( Las Vegas NV) and other events as an honored “burlesque legend,” having paved the way for entertainers of today. 4 more days left to get your advanced tickets! #signofthebeastburlesque #metalesquefest #metalesque #heavymetalburlesque #burlesque #portland #portlandburlesque #portlandoregon #metalesquefestival #burlesquefestival #burlesquepdx #festival #heavymetal #metal #metalhead
