Hallie Martin (aka Ruby Joule) Hallie Martin was born in the mountains of Utah, but has lived in Austin since the age of four. She started her performance career as a ballet dancer, but an injury at a pivotal age forced her to consider other options. She became a theatre actress at Austin High, playing principal roles in 10 productions, and finally landing the lead role of Maggie (a thinly disguised Marilyn Monroe) in Arthur Miller's After the Fall. It was for this performance that she won a UIL Best Actress award. Hallie continued to dance, though in a style leagues away from her early ballet training. For 9 years she danced with the Tropical Productions company, performing traditional and modern hula and other Polynesian dances. She has since extended her dance repertoire to include Middle-Eastern, Latin and ballroom styles. After years of relegating her love of acting to the back burner, Hallie finally got the chance to spread her wings; in theatre, she was cast as Gwendolen in Tom Stoppard's Travesties at the esteemed Austin Playhouse, and also played Lesly in The Coda Project’s The House of Yes. In film, she had a supporting role in Everything or Nothing, and recently starred as Charity in the feature comedy thriller Z: A Zombie Musical. She has also appeared in countless short films and music videos, including the award-winning “Love Ya Like” by Rene Pinnell. Hallie is represented by BLVD Talent.

Tiffany Janssen (aka Cherry Zapp)    It has been nearly two years of this "bio coming soon" nonsense, and Ms. Janssen has failed to provide the Editrix with the details she wishes to include.  So, after a few martinis, I will tell you what I know- which may or may not be true. Ms. Janssen hails from Sioux City , Iowa, where she was an accomplished cocktail-mixer by the age of 10.  By the time she was 11, she was hanging out in biker bars, her winsome charm earning her free beef jerky and swigs of Thunderbird.  These early experiences served her well in her later career as a music writer.  She has always been drawn to glamour, as she was raised partly by a glamorous aunt with an extensive muumuu collection.  This dazzling influence led to her gorgeous body art choices and to another successful career as a makeup artist.  She came to Texas on a whim and landed herself a role in the comedy thriller, Z: A Zombie Musical, in 2004.  It was there that her costars coaxed her into joining forces with them for the great cause of burlesque (it didn't take much coaxing!), and the rest is history.  Tiffany is the troupe's resident hot glue sniffer and Swarovski crystal addict. "...And they will know her by the trail of bling..."

Samantha Brown (aka Pearl Lux)       Samantha has been dancing since she could walk, studying everything from ballet to jazz, tap, hip hop, belly dance, and even ballroom. In high school she added acting to her ever-expanding expertise. By a chance of fate she starred in a SXSW short film in 2007 with Hallie and parlayed that into an internship as a "Babywatt" with The Jigglewatts for a while before becoming a member of the troupe. Soon she will be finishing her degree at The University of Texas in Radio Television Film.  When it comes to success, she has this to say: "Getting my first standing ovation for a solo was a great moment for me. I am really proud of that number and all the work (costuming, choreographing, and editing an epic 7 minute song down to 4:30 minutes) and 14 yards of fringe that went into it. The first time I performed it was at our encore of The Bettie Page Show at Alamo Drafthouse in Austin. It's such a fun number to perform and the audience was great. I remember coming off the stage and Hallie hugging me and saying "A star is born!" and laughing. When you lay your heart out dancing, especially on the first performance, and the audience is as excited as you are, it's incredibly rewarding. This was the same number, after even more added fringe, that won me the title of "Audience Choice Award" at The Texas Burlesque Festival which was simply icing on the cake."

Sabrina Kemble (aka Goldie Candela)   Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Sabrina was a Navy brat who relocated to California at the age of 3. There her mother placed her in Gymnastics to help her strengthen her coordination. A bit shy of the big balance beam, she began ballet lessons and acquired the true stage bug. Her first role was dancing the part of a firefly in the company production of Snow White. Though her family relocated many more times, Sabrina’s passion for the stage was always visible. She performed self written scripts, songs and choreographed dance numbers for friends and family, and delighted in going to see her favorite musicals on stage. By the third grade Sabrina settled in Austin where she has lived and professionally prospered. She received training in jazz, lyrical, kick and her current specialty of modern dance from then Majestics Director Denise Cochran. During her high school dance, choir, and theatre career Sabrina took part in many productions from Choir Follies Productions to Dance Showcases. In April 2007 she found her start in burlesque. The vaudeville and cabaret troupe Carousel Cabaret enticed her to get involved in a genre she always admired. Headed by Raina Krause, Carousel Cabaret was her nurturing home for 2 years. As “Abbey Rose,” Sabrina would be a part of many productions and dance amongst the best in Texas Burlesque. She opened for such acts as George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelics, and Portland's own March Fourth Marching Band. Though highly stimulated by performing with this ensemble cast, Sabrina found her current stage persona in 2009 with fellow glitterati soulmates The Jigglewatts. She then developed the “Platinum Mouth of the South,” Goldie Candela. About her journey she remarks, "Through performing with Carousel Cabaret I was able to once again claim the stage and be a part of a group of strong and talented women. I look back on that time and truly appreciate that family and the mentoring I received. And as a Jigglewatt I have finally found my true stage self again. I love that I am able to be self driven and still fully supported by my troupe and others within the burlesque community.”
