Meet the Duluth Dolls
Doll Nº 01
Rosie Sparx
The Razzle Dazzle of Duluth
Rosie Sparx brings the razzle dazzle of Duluth, MN and is likely to make you laugh, blush, and fall a little in love—sometimes all at once. With her playful tease, petals on the floor, and mischief in her eyes, she is sure to leave a burning flame in your heart.
Doll Nº 02
Ivy X
Founding Doll
Ivy X is a founding member of the Duluth Dolls. She is a bodacious and buxom performer who loves to tell stories with movement, and share her sensuality with audiences. She has been performing for 30 years on various stages in various guises. She got her start (like Dita Von Teese) in the 90’s as a stripper.
She has studied Oriental, and fusion bellydance, and was a founding member of Alchemie Dance, a fusion bellydance troupe. It’s the friendships, body positivity, and the scope for creativity that Ivy X loves most about performing with the Duluth Dolls.

Meet the Director
Velvet Noir
Co-Director | Duluth Dolls Burlesque & Cabaret
Since the birth of the Duluth Dolls in January 2012, Velvet Noir has been a steady presence in the troupe’s journey. Now serving as co-director, she’s honored to help guide the Dolls while continuing to share in the magic they create together.
Affectionately known as “Mama Sheila,” Velvet is cherished for her warmth, wisdom, and quiet strength. For her, burlesque is more than performance—it’s a spellbinding blend of movement, emotion, and empowerment. She believes in the power of dance to celebrate identity, in all its mysterious beauty.
Velvet Noir brings a touch of timeless grace, wrapped in shadows and sequins.
