Robbie Dee
The Directrix and Mistress of the Follies
Robbie Dee Smith did not just study the violin. She earned a partial scholarship to the Guildhall School of Music, one of London's elite Royal Colleges of Music, and toured Europe as principal second violin with one of the continent's top youth orchestras. She has mastered nine genres including classical, film, opera, Celtic, country, gypsy, Yiddish, spiritual, rock, and compositions entirely her own. Two of her original orchestral works have been performed by a live orchestra. She has written and published two books. She has been awarded the Silver Medal from the US Coast Guard and the Hero of Oklahoma Award for saving lives. She is a Commissioner appointed by Governor Kotek to support senior LGBTQIA2S+ people across Oregon. She lives in Florence with her husband and fellow musician Jamie Smith.
Which means when Robbie picks up her bow on Saturday night anything could happen and probably will.
Our Directrix. Our transgender goddess. The Mistress of the Follies. Robbie Dee Smith holds this whole Wild West Follies together with a fiddle and absolute command of every room she has ever walked into. Let the Follies begin!!!
Kitty Peach
is a voluptuous vixen that hails from Portland. She is a genuine snake charmer and a fan of the wild n’ weird. She’s hoping to wow you and leave you thinking that was cool, but wait WTF.
WolfgangX
is a Portland Drag King, Draglesque performer, and producer with over 20 years in the nightlife scene, Blow Pony, Twirl, Dapperlesque, you name it, he was probably running it.

He hosts Cult of!, a monthly Pop Culture Drag and Burlesque show, and holds down bimonthly shows at Clinton Street Theater. He is also part of Hunk, a Trans and Nonbinary Chippendales revue that is exactly what it sounds like and better than you are imagining. WolfgangX loves long walks on the beach and watching Buffy reruns.
Loli Love and Babino
Meet Loli Love and Babino. This dynamic duo hails from Newport, Oregon and they are bringing cool kitsch, burlesque bump and grind, and enough switcheroo energy to make your head spin. These two have been collaborating as a dancing duo for years and now they are bringing their Pink Panther and Inspector Clouseau act to the Rhinestone Rodeo Club stage. Expect the unexpected. Expect to lose your mind a little. Expect to love every second of it. Newport's finest are coming to steal the gem of the Oregon Coast's heart.
Opal Essence
Emerging from the mist somewhere between a fever dream and a forest legend, Opal Essence is a queer performer, mixed media artist, fire dancer, and Pacific Northwest local cryptid. Performing burlesque for the past seven years, she is known for acts that drift effortlessly between eerie and ethereal, absurd and alluring, blending dreamy dark aesthetics with humor and theatrical storytelling. She ranges from hauntingly seductive to delightfully strange, sometimes both at once.
When not shimmying under stage lights, she works as a massage therapist, creates art, is involved in local theater, and can often be found befriending animals or disappearing mysteriously into the woods. She believes there is power in silliness, sensuality, embracing your inner strange creature, and questioning reality from time to time.
Karla Marx
Covered in diamonds and dialectical materialism, this Socialist Seductress can be seen on and off stage shaking ass for the working class. Karla Marx is a committed activist and performance artist. By day they coordinate for the National Lawyers Guild in the fights against ICE and the significant repression of first amendment rights by law enforcement in our communities. By night they use their signature and award-winning form of whimsy and clownery to educate, agitate, and organize on stage. A producer of shows about mental health, about the radical importance of queer art in a world that seeks to destroy us, and our collective power on the ground, in our communities, and in our works places, Karla Marx is what we would describe as a "real one". Welcome to the stage the nonbinary nuisance, the organizer with an OH face, the they/them causing all kinds of mayhem.... Karla Marx!!!
