Mercy Masala
Mercy masala is a fusion performer combining elements of bollywood, vogue, belly dance and traditional Indian dancing in their burlesque style. When mercy is not shimmying or duck walking on stage, they work as a full time crisis counselor/social worker during the day. Mercy is one of three South Asian burlesque artists in all of NYC, NJ, and CT. They hope to inspire other desi artists to follow their creative bliss, no matter how silly, slutty, or serious it may be. Please welcome to the stage...
Lucian Nightshade
- no spoons, no hinges, no filter
- former manic pixie turned chaos goblin
- gives off dark and mysterious vibes but really just disassociating
- owes the hat man money
- the distinguished idiot of draglesque
Performing tomorrow night at Qxt’s for Thrills and Chills, a Y2K Goth Babe Cabaret
This former-manic-pixie-turned-chaos-goblin has been in the nightlife scene for over a decade wearing many faces and many hats. When they’re not creating provocative political art, just shaking their booty, or generally Thembo-ing it up, they’re also a grassroots community organizer and overall revolutionary. Lillian wrote this and she hopes it doesn’t get them put on some kind of list somewhere for mentioning this, but since this only exists in print, you’re probably the only one who will see it and it’ll be fine.
Find them tomorrow night 8/21 at Qxt’s for Thrills and Chills, a Y2K Goth Babe Cabaret

About Lillian Bustle:
She's a Jersey Girl with a heart of gold, and she's ready to shake things up! This gutsy broad is a Burlesque performer, singer, MC, public speaker and gleeful loudmouth about body politics. You've seen her on festival stages from Anchorage Alaska to Austin, Texas, and she currently hosts and co-produces Bounce House, A Burlesque Celebration of Body Abundance which recently played to a sold-out crowd at Lincoln Center. Although her first Burlesque performance was in 2012, she made her nightclub debut at the age of 14 as a singer in a drag show. She's been covered in glitter and boas ever since, and her mission is to help us all redefine the word "beautiful.“
