Sitting with Vanity Kills, the immediate reaction is to liken her to Betty Page. Setting aside simple similarities such as her raven hair, stunning figure and gorgeous smile, the sense of fun imbued in Page’s work is clearly visible in Kills’.
Page’s fans love the fact that she seems to be enjoying every second, and Kills is the same. Bubbly and personable, she immediately puts people at ease. When she laughs, light glints off her glasses, which she wears during some of her shows. An unusual characteristic in the world of burlesque, it lends, in the words of one of her admirers, a school-marm strictness to her.
Kills became interested in burlesque about eight years ago, first as an audience member and then as performer. The opening of Club Noir, Scotland’s premier burlesque club, in 2004 provided Kill with a venue to indulge her passion.
