"THE DARK FLAME OF DESIRE"
Minx Arcana is “The Dark Flame of Desire,” a sultry award-winning burlesque vixen whose signature style infuses sumptuous vintage glamour with hints of noir and a rock ‘n’ roll spirit.
​
Ever since her debut on the Bowery in New York City, this international showgirl's unique mélange of glamour and grit has taken her across stages in North America, Europe, and Japan - from the far stretches of Alaska to the infamous Reeperbahn in Hamburg. She has won the "Most Classic" awards at the Oregon Burlesque Festival and the Japan International Burlesque Festival and has since been a featured performer at The Toronto Burlesque Festival (2024) and Bagel Burlesque Expo (2025).
Versed in both classic and neo-burlesque, Minx thrives on bewitching her audiences with her lavish costuming and her mysterious allure. An active player in the NYC burlesque & nightlife circuit for over a decade, Minx is a core cast member of the (David Lynch-approved!) The Pink Room: David Lynch Burlesque and was co-collaborator helming the nautically-themed Dreamboat Burlesque. She has also worked her magic at such culture-defining performance venues as The Copacabana, Sleep No More, Coney Island USA, The Stonewall Inn, The Public Theater, Nashville Palace, Birdland Jazz Club, The Slipper Room, and The Standard Hotel as well as at legendary cocktail bars including Employees Only, Apotheke, and Macao Trading Co. Her on-screen appearances include Showtime’s Twin Peaks: The Phenomenon, PlayMe Burlesque, Getting Naked: A Burlesque Story, and ABC News’ Nightline. True to her namesake, Minx also appears amongst the Minor Arcanas in the Slutist Tarot deck illustrated by Morgan Claire Sirene.

Minx is currently based in the enchanting city of Montreal where she is Bar Manager & Cocktail Mixtress of renowned burlesque cabaret, The Wiggle Room.
