Jimi Rae
Could you introduce yourself?
My name is Missy and I am a twenty year old Burlesque Performer,
Actress and Model based in Edinburgh UK.
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I spent my childhood in a small-minded town between Glasgow & Edinburgh.
An only child to the most supportive, loving parents.
Who or what inspired you to become a performer?
As long as I can remember I have always wanted to perform for people, take on other characters.
My parents always encouraged me to join youth theatres and clubs. So they inspired me I suppose.
Today it would be Dita Von Teese, Juliette Lewis, Quentin Tarantino.
You regularly appear on stage in burlesque/cabaret shows. How do you find performing on stage?
I love being on stage, it feels very natural to me. I very rarely get nervous and look forward
to every opportunity I have on the stage.
As well as the stage shows you have also appeared in both film and tv productions.
How did you find the transition from stage to screen and back again?
Still from
“And Yet I Feel Innocent...”
A Film by Ruth Paxton
The transition from stage to screen felt like a very natural one.
It felt like the next step up for me as an actor.
Was it difficult ?
No, I love performing, full stop, no matter where.
Jimi Rae

Do you see yourself doing more film and tv work in the future?
Absolutely! Film is where my heart lies. More work in TV & film is
definitely my hope.
As well as a performer/actor, you also are a model, which do you prefer
and why?
Still from “Grace”
A Film by Ruth Paxton
I am a performer, modelling is a lot of fun for me, I enjoy doing it and
seeing the results, but I prefer performing, definitely.
Where do you draw your influences from in terms of style in both your look
and perfomance?
I like to think that I have created my own style in terms of my look, but of
course I am inspired by the beautiful Dita Von Teese, Betty Page and all
the stunning pin up models of the 1940’s & 1950’s. My performances are
always very personal to me, I draw influence from anything that inspires
me, but have quite a few signature acts.
Hair by JFK
Do you find that the modelling and performing work combine to influence
your style further?
Oh definitely! You see the most beautiful costumes & performers in
Burlesque & I wear stunning clothing when modelling, it gives me loads of
inspiration.
Hugo Morris
You are currently studying performance costume design. Do you find that your approach to your design
work is influenced by your stage persona ?
Yes, absolutely, when I have free reign on a project, my personality definitely shines through, but it’s not
possible with every project as you have to follow a brief & be professional.
Your work takes you around the world. Do you find that the audiences differ in their attitudes towards
the burlesque scene.
Yes, it is very new to a lot of people, but I haven’t had many negative experiences so far. Edinburgh and
Glasgow audiences are brilliant! London are also fab but more experienced.
Do you see burlesque scene becoming more mainstream?
Yes
Would you like it to?
If it is done properly, then yes, there are a lot of unprofessional people out there.
What has been your biggest thrill in your career so far?
In acting, being pampered while filming in Prague for a week. In modelling, anytime my photos are
published in magazines. In Burlesque, performing at the Flash Monkey’s Burlesque Bazaar in London.
Have you met any famous people?
I have had the honour of meeting the beautiful Mr & Mrs Manson (Marilyn & Dita)
Juliette Lewis and Lemmy (Motorhead)
Flash Monkey’s Burlesque Bazaar
This issue is themed ‘fantasy’ which is a theme carried throughout
your work.
What does ‘fantasy’ mean to you?
I like to incorporate my fantasies into all of my burlesque
performances, it makes it personal to me.
What does the future hold for Missy Malone?
Hollywood I hope! I have a few acting jobs lined up, modelling at
the Torture Garden, London and regular performances at Club
Noir, Glasgow UK.
Is there anything you would like to say to the readers?
Don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t do it.
& always make sure your seams are straight!

Supported by CABE Space
ISBN 1-84533-134-6

21.6 x 28.0 cm Hardback with dustcover 208pp 400 colour photos, 40plans
Architecture is not always only about buildings but also about the spaces
between them.
New Public Spaces reveals the best and most effective examples of
public space from across the globe. The author, Sarah Gaventa, gives
us an insight to the new public spaces existing in many countries today.
Filled with case studies of permanent, temporary and large spaces.
Each study is illustrated extensively with a ground plan and razor
sharp photography. New Public Spaces proves that public space no
longer refers to just public squares and parks, it now includes: dead
space around housing estates, roundabouts, car parks, industrial
developments as well as waterfronts. It is an important part of
contemporary architecture and a competitive area as cities try to
out-do each other to attract investment and tourists.
New Public Spaces suffers slightly in it’s layout due to the copy being
presented in condensed blocks which makes reading an effort. The
photgraphy is stunning and you can easily forgive the text.
Sarah Gaventa runs her own creative agency Scarlet Projects
specialising in the curation of exhibitions and events on contemporary
architecture and design as well as curating public space projects.
