The “T & A” of a Las Vegas Burlesque

In a recent “5 Martini Lunch,” Las Vegas PRIDE had the opportunity to chat with one of our favorite local and vocal Burlesque performers. We chatted about strong men and women, strong cocktails, and, most importantly, the challenges of vaudeville/burlesque authenticity in performance in this “model type” home we call Las Vegas Entertainment! Lou Lou Roxy and Norma had a great afternoon!

The Intersectionality of Names

What's in a name? For some, they'll have only one: the name their parents gave them at some point in life's early moments. Others might change names as the seasons do, adopting new ones to suit their various moods, phases, or simply as it pleases them. I've found myself at an interesting crossroads lately, as I am realizing that while I have many names depending on how close we are, what stage in life you've met me, and the degree to which we might be kinky together...and that one of these names is starting to feel more like "me" than the others...and it wasn't the one I was given by my mom at birth; but it is close.

Call Him Daddy

Crush Daddy is a commanding presence wherever he goes. This month, he steps into a new role as one of KinkMen.com’s dominant tops where he exudes the confidence of someone who has spent years mastering both body and mind. A former basketball player, Crush brings disciplined athleticism to his performances. Sports once defined his world, and that foundation, later refined through years as a personal trainer focused on physique as much as performance, now fuels his on-screen authority. Speaking with us from his home in Houston, Texas, Crush opens up about his global upbringing, sexual fluidity, and his evolving relationship with kink.

The Manor Men: Victor

Set within the shadowed elegance of a Victorian-style mansion, "The Manor Men: Victor" opens a new photo essay series for PROUD & Kinky Magazine—one that explores power, poise, and presence through a distinctly gothic lens. Victor moves through the pages like a well-kept secret, blending classic masculinity with quiet provocation as history, desire, and individuality intertwine. Each image invites the reader deeper into the manor, where the past lingers, confidence reigns, and every gaze tells a story.
