Ruby Revue member Missy Lisa performs the opening act of the New Zealand Burlesque Festival at Dunedin's Mayfair Theatre last night.
Missy Lisa, from Dallas, Texas, is one of three US-based performers who make up the Ruby Revue trio, along with Ginger Valentine and Angi B Lovely.
The trio won best troupe award at the Viva Las Vegas Burlesque competition last year.
Others to feature in last night's show included Christchurch-based performer Ruby Ruin, the inaugural ''Queen'' of the festival.
Event producer Danny Rascal, of Palmerston North-based Red Rascal Productions, said this was the third year the show had been running, but it was the first time it had come to Dunedin.
