Trixie Minx
Alexis Graber, aka Trixie Minx, is a burlesque performer based in New Orleans. She was raised as a “nice Jewish girl” in Miami where she studied ballet extensively. Minx may not have bloomed into a prima ballerina, but her technique and grace is witnessed heavily in her acclaimed burlesque numbers.
Although known for her comical striptease, Minx inspires more than a few laughs. The dancer has performed on film and television, alongside musical acts, and at festivals internationally. Selected credits include; Miami Ink, Voodoo Musical Festival, Comic Relief tour with Tony Clifton, NBA All Star Weekend and the All The Kings Men premiere.
Trixie also produces two New Orleans based shows; Fleur de Tease and Burlesque Ballroom. Find out more about Trixie and her upcoming events by visiting www.trixieminx.com or check her out on Facebook or Twitter.

Where’s your favourite place to travel to?
Costa Rica but really any place with warm weather and a beach works for me.

I wanted to change his name to Grandma so I could say “Grandma stop eating my shoes!” but my husband thought that was a terrible idea. I want to use him in an act but he loves people so much he would just leave the stage and start licking the audience.

New Orleans is lucky to have a world class burlesque dancer. I attended a sold out show at One Eyed Jacks and there were more women than men standing in line. 8:2 ratio. My girlfriend is Jewish and we both agree, you're a class act...Jewish or not.
