As you can see by the widely varied appearances, the Velvet Hammer crosses
over all cultural boundaries. From the high fashion world to car culture,
from the art world to John Q. Public.

This all adds up to more bump for your buck, more doll for your dollars.

The Velvet Hammer is now enjoying a higher international profile, thanks to
A & E, appearances overseas as well as on the BBC and Canadian Television,
and ample press coverage.

The VELVET HAMMER is:

Modern Burlesque and a healthy dose of the past. More than just beautiful girls.
It's the curves. It's the comedy. It's the poster artists.
The photographers. It's the jiggles! The wiggles! And wow, the giggles!
