As I mentioned in a previous post, neo-burlesque brought us Calamity Chang, who’s one of the few prominent Asian burlesque performers of today. Above is another of those few; the “Anime Princess of Burlesque” Stella Chuu, performing her act entitled “From the Darkest Corners of the Internet,” which is her homage to the infamous website 4chan.org and the notorious Internet meme it popularized; “Pedobear.” The opening song is Florence + The Machine’s “Girl With One Eye” with Oingo Boingo’s “Little Girls” accompanying the Pedobear part at the end.
Besides being a burlesque performer, Stella (a New-Yorker, like Calamity) is a very high profile cosplayer and pin-up model, often appearing at comic and game conventions for fans to meet. As of this writing, her website is still under construction but you can see plenty more of her at her Facebook fan page and countless other sites all over the net.
