Costuming

Kevlar B Lightning (she/they) is a playful tease and a bold performer. The Electric Soul of Burlesque, Kevlar is a chronically ill, lightly alternative theme queen who – when possible – can be seen wiggling and rocking in bars and theaters across Chicago and the country with her blend of hard pretty burlesque.

She has 8+ years of burlesque and costuming experience, a background in industrial engineering, has taught several classes, and has mentored other burlesque dancers.

Her sparkle is handmade from her small business, Leopard Lightning.

During quarantine, The Bulletproof Beauty picked up even more neat hobbies, follow them on TikTok to find out more!

She has been called a Des Moines icon. M’Lady Rae has been performing across the Midwest since 2018. Her acts have been described as having an extra level of engagement and entertainment that intrigues and enthralls audiences. She is a founding member of Naughty Nerds Cabaret.

Born of royalty, M’Lady Rae’s hard-edged glamour speaks of her opulent, shadowy past. Exiled for her lustful desires, M’Lady is now the ruler of her own realm where down is up and pain is pleasure. Fall to your knees and get ready to expect the unexpected. Cruel Things Come in Small Packages.
