Star Wars Burlesque: The Empire Strips Back kicked off its first show in Sydney this week. Creator Russall Beattie was inspired by Star Wars burlesque shows he saw in the US, but claims his version is “sexually charged without being gratuitous”.

This is wrong…so wrong—but the Devil’s Playground performers know they have a good thing going when it comes to cosplaying the likes of Samus and Stormtroopers.
Their lastest show channels anime characters like Sailor Moon, Pikachu, Ichigo Momomiya from Tokyo Mew Mew, Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist, Trixie from Speed Racer and Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Check out more pics after the break.
This t-shirt was inspired by Courtney Cruz, who was also behind the recent Stormtrooper burlesque tattoo that sent every nerd’s heart into palpitations. Deep down, they’re all looking for that special woman who has a huge rack and enjoys role playing. It won’t even matter if she has a face like a ham hock, as long as it can fit into a Stormtrooper helmet.

Remember that curiously sexy shot of burlesque dancer Courtney Cruz in a Stormtrooper outfit from a few months back? Well, Bryce Nadeau of L.A.’s Kustom Kulture Tattoo was taken by the image and managed to convince his roommate (after what I can only assume was a copious amount of alcohol) to become a canvas for his tribute. Bad decision? Probably—but I’ll admit, Nadeau does some good work.
