She lives like a Bohemian movie star, with short films based on 1899 French Cabarets screening at Cannes, touring her burlesque around the world for the likes of Nick Cave who described her as ‘beautiful’, or as headliner of the world’s premier burlesque events Tease-o-Rama and The Australian Burlesque Festival. She performs for luxury brands, hotels, casinos, sought-after music festivals and the hottest nightclubs on earth. She has been a brand ambassador for the renewed interest in absinthe, a writer, and is constantly in demand as a media commentator for television and print (Channel V, Getaway, San Francisco Chronicle, The Age, Penthouse Magazine) where her image has graced some of the most elite publications around.
A habitué of the beautiful cities of Paris, New Orleans and Los Angeles, she has made history as the first performer to earn a Doctorate of Philosophy by actually performing the art of burlesque. She is, as The Age writes, ‘in a league of her own’

“A highly developed aesthetic and a sly wit…super sexy without ever being tawdry…Lola is in a league of her own” The Age 2008
“Intimidating. Beautiful” Nick Cave
“By going beyond the exploitation/empowerment binary and placing her work in the aesthetic discipline required for a number of traditional forms (mask, ballet, bodily inscription, the manipulation of fetishes, the candidate moves the discussion about burlesque along and places it deep in our growing understanding of performance as a dynamic interplay between communicative craft and audience expectation” Associate Professor Stephen Stockwell
‘showing real bravery and originality…working at a very advanced level and developing practice skills with originality and sophistication’ Professor Feona Attwood
