About the act:
“Irreverent to your whims and fancies about the fantastical, this unicorn comes all the way from the magical Emerald Isle to put the ‘making-an-ass-of-oneself’ into badass. Arlene sets out to create a Neo Burlesque influenced parody of cute and trendy unicorn iconography, with killer heel hooves adorning both her feet and her hands, a costume with more rhinestones per square inch than you can shake a stick at, a horn not to be messed with, pulling Irish flags from questionable places and making clever use of narrative with her magical twirly legs and good honest, old school pole trickery. You’ll be seeing splits for days, and you’ll possibly never want to have a bowl of Lucky Charms ever again…”
*Before I get folks writing well-intended comments bemoaning the lack of tricks or “on the pole action”, please be advised that this competition is called Pole Theatre: less than 18% of the available score is awarded for “tricks”, the point of the competition is to tell a story, create a memorable piece, have a costume that makes sense with the context of your act. Hence the routine is not crammed with tricks. Happy pole dancing everyone!*
