On Saturday October 9th the fabulous burlesque bombshell, hula hoop queen and stage siren Miss Venus Star will grace our stage for the second time. This vixen is too hot for Facebook - she has recently had her page deleted, but nothing can stop the vivacious Miss Star, not even Facebook censorship.
Venus will be joined by the beautiful red-headed Tinka Lovelocks, this stunning lass is an old fashioned vintage gal with a sexy edge.
