A Taboo Subject

We have also just completed branding for international Burlesque artist Tabitha Taboo.

Having won best new striptease at the 2011 London Burlesque Festival, Tabitha has gone on to perform for audiences across the UK and Europe. She has appeared in publications including Cosmopolitan and Burlesque Bible magazine and most recently, she had her big screen debut, featuring opposite Steve Coogan in Michael Winterbottom's Biopic of Paul Raymond, The Look Of Love.
