вЂњIt is very frustrating to have a major platform for self promotion completely unavailable to me.вЂќ вЂњI just thought if you put up a video that was deemed вЂinappropriateвЂ™ that they would just take it down, not take you out,вЂќ she says.

She was disabled and shadow banned on Instagram and banned from You Tube just before the coronavirus hit and was surprised and frustrated that her powerful and sex-positive output was silenced with no explanation.

LвЂ™amour also has a pay-to-watch project called Uncen$ored, which she describes as вЂњbeyond burlesque,вЂќ pushing the boundaries of nudity and art, and inspired by the censorship sheвЂ™s encountered over the years.

Michelle LвЂ™amour sparkles on this weekвЂ™s LA Weekly cover. WeвЂ™ve also been able to work with great L.A. вЂњOver the course of 18 episodes, we were able to pay over 60 performers from all over the world and were able to work with some dream talent, like the band, IAMX in episode 12 and dancers from the Lido in Paris in episode 15. вЂњWe were shocked that it actually worked,вЂќ she shares about the show, which is available for binging on demand. ItвЂ™s free, with tipping encouraged and a portion raised going to charity as well. вЂњLuckily, we had people who said yes to us and took a chance on this show, as there wasnвЂ™t already a precedent for online variety content,вЂќ says LвЂ™amour, who hosts from her living room, presenting three acts from all over the world with varying talents (burlesque, drag, magic, musicians) and the grande finale featuring one of her own acclaimed acts. When shelter in place orders took effect, burlesque performer Michelle LвЂ™amour says she and her husband lost all of their production gigs вЂњin a matter of minutes.вЂќ The idea for their online variety show, Quarantine Cabaret, was hatched on March 16th and they had 2 episodes out by March 20th. Here are the best of L.A.вЂ™s cybersex-powered burlesque shows, strip presentations and cabarets. Presenting provocative entertainment on their own terms, earning money for themselves and important causes that matter to them as well, these strong women are creating a sexy spectacle online that just might break you of out of your corona funk. have found lusty new life on the web that goes beyond social media and proves more interesting than the easy go-to of porn, piquing the imagination and incorporating a vaudevillian mix of music, costumes and human connection. Offering privacy for the viewer, safety for the performer and a open platform to showcase thematic presentations, dancers and strippers in L.A. And few artforms have adapted as well as burlesque, striptease and cabaret. And for those who love nightlife, the arts, entertainment and sensory/sensual revelry, there are additional layers of loss.ДЄs entertainers seek to experiment with safer ways to do what they do, the internet has become a saving grace. Creativity has been curtailed, interactions have been cut off, and excitement has collectively dimmed, no doubt about it. Coronavirus is taking more than just lives. Fears about what lies ahead not only for our own lives, but for the world in general -not to mention stress over the upcoming election and current racial reckoning- make it hard to get turned on by anything these days, both in the figurative and literal sense, on both sides. Stage performers of all kinds are dealing with some of the biggest financial fallout, but thereвЂ™s something else, too. Due to club and bar closures and restrictions throughout L.A., livelihoods dependent on getting people to вЂњgo outвЂќ have been struggling to survive (and yes, that also includes publications that cover these industries, like this one).
