I shall the effect of this good lesson keep, As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother, Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven; Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, And recks not his own rede.

Fritzi Collins

NYC

Like the burlesque revival, performer Fritzi Collins has resurfaced. This fine dame, a titillating innovator of the whole "stripping as high art for low brows" attracted the eye of the infamous Tom Collins. The scandal of the notoriously unattached Fritzi saying "yes" to Tom - paired with their lavish Vegas wedding - inspired the cocktail bearing Tom's name. After the wedding, this wicked Svengali forbade his burlesque bride to perform. Fritzi spent years locked behind a white picket fence deep in the suburbs, severed from the stage and her adoring public. While everyone thought she had turned her back on burlesque, the frustrated flower drank, took pills and with the help of an unsuspecting slew of gardeners, pool cleaners and Culligan men, orchestrated a devil's workshop of routines based on shattered romantic ideals. True to burlesque tradition, Fritzi prefers to work with live musicians. Only live music conjures the magic that is Fritzi Collins. She has teamed up with sultry chanteuse Lex Grey to punctuate her act with the power of the BLUES. You must experience Fritzi Collins. There's nothing like seeing her peel off that sugar coating, revealing the earthy spice that is pure woman. A New Yorker, Fritzi performs at venues throughout New York City.
