We are proud to announce the first of our Headline Performers for our upcoming 2025 edition of the Montreal Burlesque Festival!

Talented Bryona Ashly is on a mission to swish her feathers to the top of the burlesque world. Bryona is an internationally published pinup model and performer, close on the stiletto heels of her idols like Dita Von Teese, who have paved the way for pin up glamour to be open to the world outside the hidden culture that it has always thrived in.

Bryona possesses the classical glamorous beauty that hails from a Hollywood book of the most famous beauties of the past. Suffice to say she’s giving legends like Bunny Yeager, Zoe Mozert, Rita Hayworth and Diana Dors a run for their tassels!

These bevy of beauties have inspired and paved the way for Bryona to conquer her ambitions to be a commanding sultry siren of the burlesque world.

Bryona is kicking up her kitten heels for the launch of a clothing brand she’s been working on. The model, entrepreneur and burlesque performer is hoping to inspire the next generation of models after her. She stated, “I think the essentials for a pinup girl to have is Red lipstick , full fashioned Stockings and good pair of black heels”

She also shared that aspiring pin-up professionals should make sure to be driven and stay focused on their goals and let absolutely nothing get in the way of their dreams.
