Travel back thousands of years and some switched on chum realised a large leaf could be plucked, held and ruffled to billow onto oneself and mimic a satisfying breeze. Come on a journey with Maple Rose and learn all about how the fan became such an iconic burlesque prop.

Yes, Maple is starting a new show! It’s been in the making for a while, however the push was the need for paid gigs here in Melbourne that supported up and coming artists, as well as the wide range of diverse talents we house in this amazing city!

HOLY GUACAMOLE‼️

I’ve finally come out of my ✨glitter crash coma✨ and can face the world again. I’m back home in Melbourne - I’ve relaxed in the bath, downed a huge burger, skulled a glass of wine, slept it off, and am back to being a functioning human being.

And announcing our first wild card to go to the 2018 Miss Burlesque Australia Grand Final... Congratulations to Maple Rose from Victoria!

This weekend’s Miss Burlesque Victoria ✨competition✨ was one of the finest shows Melbourne has ever seen, and I’m so honoured to have been a part of it, and to place first runner up winning the title of Miss Burlesque Melbourne 2018. Every contestant was strong in their character, style and knew their art form inside and out.

In 2 days I will be competing for the largest competition of my career to date. Miss Burlesque Victoria is the state heat for the title, and the winner will move onto competing in the national finals in Perth on July 28th. Read all about my trials and tribulations in this personal blog post.

It's my pleasure to announce that Miss Maple Rose will be heading to Darwin and Alice Springs for the Australian Burlesque Festival this September!

It's been a whirlwind quarter already and big things have been happening here at Maple HQ. But performing is not the only occupation on the cards....
