Introducing brand new podcast, ‘U Go Girl’, hosted by Jade and Stephanie Platten the creators of
the body-positive activewear line, U Nexus Movement.
A podcast dedicated to sharing inspiring stories by influential women to combat negative self-talk
as well as tips on how to overcome mental blocks, this podcast is that motivational kick every girl
needs.
The first 10 part interview series includes stories, tips, and conversations from familiar names
such as Australian artist and designer, Tiff Manuell, Nova Jane, founder of Fitcover and Sami Rose
from Sami Rose Fitness.
Available on the Apple Podcast app and Spotify, ‘U Go Girl’ is easy to access so that you can listen
on your drive, on a run or get you through the housework. It's the perfect motivational boost in
your ears helping you to combat life.
Steph Platten explains that starting a podcast has been something that both sisters have wanted
to create for a while.
Steph says, “being big podcast fans ourselves, Jade and I became frustrated when some of our
favourite podcast interviews spoke about important issues but only scraped the surface.
We
wanted to know more from these women we aspire to, which is why we thought that we should
create our own.”
Jade says.
“We are so passionate about supporting women and making them feel empowered in
their own bodies and minds which is what inspired ‘U Go Girl’ to come about.”
“We hope to help women do amazing things and not let those ‘I’m not good enough moments’ ruin
their day,” Jade says.

What do you get when you combine cheeky cabaret,
aerial acrobatics and the seductive art of burlesque? The sexy spectacular that
is Blanc de Blanc Encore, of course!
After a string of sell-out shows at the Sydney Opera
House, the team behind the original Blanc de Blanc showstopper that wowed
Fringe-goers in both 2017 and 2018 have returned to the Garden of Unearthly
Delights with a revamped, reinvigorated and just as raunchy ‘Encore’!
Leave your inhibitions at the door, fill your glass
with plenty of bubbles and prepare to be transported to the Gatsby-esque roaring
twenties with a night of sensuality, debauchery, and delicious decadence.
Hosts Remi Martin Lenx and Felix Pouliot charm
audiences with their wits and *other* bits in a series of outrageous antics
ranging from Felix’s quite literally ballsy opening act to Remi’s jaw-dropping
instrumental act that will leave audiences well and truly dick-notised.
Prepare to be completely immersed in not only the
seductive atmosphere but also the show itself, as members of the troupe, roam in
amongst the crowd and will pop up in an aisle near you when you least expect
it. From an all-out feather-filled pillow fight that sends cushions flying
here, there and everywhere, to lap dances that defy the laws of flexibility,
audience participation is a given - yet comes with a tantalising thrill rather
than a feeling of despicable dread.
A cast of drop-dead gorgeous bombshells both male and
female alike grace the stage to deliver sensual song covers, ravishing dance
numbers and even high flying aerial acrobatics – all whilst dressed head to toe
in sequins, ruffles and diamanté-studded lingerie sets that are absolutely to
die for.
Amongst the sequin-studded cast hailing from Paris to
Paraguay and everywhere in between lies a local face by the name of Melanie
Hawkins, an Adelaide born and bred songstress who serenades audiences with her
sultry notes and exotic moves.
Between the glitz, glamour, and sexuality that is sure
to leave you enamoured, there lies an insane amount of sheer might and vigour
behind each gravity-defying aerial act, each high leg kick amid a burlesque
dance number, and each contortionist backbend. Blanc de Blanc Encore is more
than just a “sex sells” sellout – it’s a showcase of sheer strength and skill
that is sexy in so many ways than simply just physical.
The perfect ungodly addition to the Garden ofUnearthly Delights, Blanc de Blanc Encore perfectly encapsulates everything
that the Adelaide Fringe is about: fun, frivolity, and fantasy. Be sure to snap
up your tickets before Blanc de Blanc sells out, you won’t want to miss out on
the mischief and mayhem of this best-kept Fringe show secret.
5 out of 5 stars!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – no, we’re not talking about Christmas, but rather the annual month-long festival that puts the rad in Radelaide each February-March. That’s right, it’s Fringe festival season!
To kick off the start of Fringe season with a bang, The Iconic Blonde was invited to attend the Gala Launch Night Spectacular at Gluttony, the friendly neighbour of The Garden of Unearthly Delights.
Hosted by NOVA919’s brekkie boys Ben and Liam and MC’d by the ever so effervescent Idris Stanton from ‘Wham Glam Circus Man!’, guests were tantalised with a sneak peek of just some of the 168 shows Gluttony is hosting this Fringe season.

Dazzling audiences with a teaser of their strip-tease trapeze act, the UK-based circus troupe are returning with their sexy, seductive and certainly surprising five-star show Rouge at the Magic Mirrors Spiegeltent from February 16 – March 15.
Between the act taste-testers, three special guests made a surprise appearance in an impromptu Q-and-A with MC Idris Stanton. After winning over the hearts of Australians everywhere in the latest season of The Bachelor, heart-throb astrophysicist Dr. Matt Agnew sent audiences into a swoon with some shameless self-promo of his talk ‘Guide to Life Beyond Earth’ being held at The Parlour from February 14 – 23.
The woman, the myth, the legend herself Miss Marcia Hines graced audiences with her incredible stage presence that she is bringing to the disco inferno spectacular Velvet Rewired, which will be bringing the house down at the Magic Mirrors Spiegeltent from February 16 – March 15.
From household TV screens everywhere to Adelaide's very own Fringe, locally born and bred Radelaidian Hugh Sheridan made the trek back home to advertise not one, but two Fringe shows where he’ll be showcasing his talents as a triple-threat. Catch him in the return of ‘California Crooners Club’ at the Masonic Lodge on February 16, or in his latest solo show ‘Unplugged’ at The Cornucopia from February 28 – March 14.
With vocal powerhouse Charmaine Jones at the helm, Adelaide’s very own Gospo Collective sent a shiver down our spines with a glimpse into their latest and greatest choral masterpiece ‘Jukebox Chorus: The Ultimate Australian Playlist’ that will be rocking The Cornucopia from February 18 – March 15.
