Thread: What would the worst burlesque name be?

I know most of us have shed blood, sweat and tears coming up with the burlesque name that accurately represents our skills, self image, and sense of humour, but ever come across a name so wonderfully awful you wish you had an evil twin to carry it off?

Examples:
Miss Vivi Section (for medical themes maybe?)
Ms Geri Atric (for the older crowd)

or you could go historicaly unPC like Miss Crystal Nacht or Holly Caust (no, i'm not saying there is anything the least bit funny about these actual events, just that a burlesque name taken from them would be beyond the pale - a bit like Miss Rachel Tension from To Wong Fu with Love)

I know y'all love a good pun, especially you Fleur, anyone have any other ideas for cringingly wonderfully terrible names?

Haha ... has my reputation preceded me?

I'm amused by all of yours, Cat - but I must admit I don't get Crystal Nacht, and it took me a while to get Rachel Tension (although it made me giggle when I did).

Vendetta posted up a lot a while ago that made me cringe, I'd like to see her contribution to this thread!

Ah, yes, if Vendetta doesn't see this I'll have to ask her - if anyone can find that thread let me know!

Pratchett fans have an inherent love of Punnance, Fleur - you know that!

And for the reason Crystal Nacht would be a terrible stage name go here: WikiAnswers - What does Krystallnacht mean

This is true ...

After the Con when I lugged my Companion around for a day (and randomly got it signed with a personal signature from Mr B, oh yes!!) I decided to read a few entries again. I'd forgotten all of the Latin puns which make up the Guild mottos and rediscovered some gems. My favourite is the Watch's motto: Fabricati Diem

Sheer genius!

I have always had a secret fancy for
Viagra falls
but my all time favorite has to be
Littet De Tampon

There's a great drag artist in Sydney called Penny Tration.

Crystal Meth? :eyebrows:

I was working on the Myra back story just the other day, considering a stint as a failed Burlesque dancer under the stage name 'Crystal Nacht' till I realised it'd been done already in Hedwig and the Angry inch.

I hate how the subconsious stores things, then presents it to you as your own idea.

I also humbly submit Jenny Talia to the list.

Viagra Falls is brilliant! Love it!

Myra, I personally think my subconscious is out to get me, that sort of thing happens to me eerily often. xx

haha, my mums called Jenny Taylor. Hee hee. I Rather Like Anna Key as a rubbish burlesque name but i'm not sure if its been used.
