Collections by Michelle Brown WSG Burlesque Queen Perle Noir

Perle Noire, the Queen Mother of Burlesque was born to perform. Named one of the top performers in the world, she is truly a goddess. To watch her is an experience!

She began singing, dancing and acting as a child when she landed a McDonald’s commercial and a role on the Cosby Show.

In 2008, she burst onto the burlesque scene winning the Best Debut category during the annual Burlesque Hall of Fame weekend in Las Vegas. She has been named one of the world’s top five burlesque performers by 21st Century Burlesque Magazine three years in a row. After spending several years as a cast member in Dita Von Teese’s popular “Strip, Strip Hooray,” Perle went on to complete a stint in Velvet – a musical starring Australian disco diva and superstar Marcia Hines. 

Perle has performed her signature blend of sultry, athletic and captivating dance in numerous venues throughout the world including the Crowne Casino in Melbourne, The Waltz in Tokyo, Teatro Circo in Madrid and the Koko in London. She has also graced stages in the Bahamas, Milan, Helsinki, Auckland, Sydney, New York, and Los Angeles.

Drawing inspiration from the great Josephine Baker, Perle is also a multi-talented businesswoman who constantly challenges herself with new ventures including an upcoming line of cosmetics and a series of performance/dance classes known as Perlesque. 

She is also a gifted instructor and her workshops sell out in a matter of hours. She encourages her followers and those attending her classes to lose the weight of self-doubt, distorted views of your power, and memories that no longer serve you. She encourages everyone to believe that glamour, opulence, and opportunities belong to you and to Stop downplaying your light, talent, and desires.

She says she is paying respect to all the black women who went through the back door so she may sashay through the front.
