Sexy kitty and the paranormal? Its all in our latest Voltgirl feature with Ember Furie...

Hello! How are you?

I'm doing great, thanks for asking!

If you were talking to a stranger, how would you describe yourself in three words:

Passionate, Stubborn, Fun-loving

Tell us a bit about all this fire breathing that you do, then. Isn’t it dangerous? And you don’t ever end up burning off your eyelashes or something?
Why sure it's dangerous. If you're going to play with fire, you have to be willing to risk getting burned. I've been lucky so far - I haven't burned anything important!


And what’s this 'Sexy Kittys' thing all about? Or is it as obvious as the name suggests!
The Sexy Kittys are my fabulous burlesque troupe located in West Palm Beach, FL. We travel around the state and do local shows - next stop, Fantasy Fest, October 24th in Key West!

You seem to have a huge interest in the paranormal and darker side of things. Is it just the spooky imagery & stories that your into, or are you a firm believer in all things paranormal? Ever seen a ghost or anything supernatural?
I have always felt a strong connection to forces unseen. I've had my share of experiences but prefer not to reveal all my secrets on the first interview ;)

I noticed you’ve got some fetish party pics online. When you attend them, is it business or pleasure? Or both!
Usually pleasure ;) Sometimes it's business when I get asked to perform. I'm putting together a fire poi (that's fire spinning) routine now for an upcoming party!

Loud rock n roll plays a big part in our lives here at Voltcase towers, does music influence you at all? Any artists in particular that you fancy namedropping?
Music has a huge influence on my life and my work. Music is what inspires me to dance, choreograph and create shows. I'll be driving in my car and hear a song that touches me, and viola! A performance is born. That's how I came up with the idea for "Rag Doll" - listening to the famed Aerosmith song. It's a piece I'm doing with my friend Ananga for the Sexy Kittys. She plays my blow up doll and I play a crazy lesbian who thinks she's a boy! It doesn't get more inspired than that! Some of my faves are Lacuna Coil, Tori Amos, No Doubt, Marilyn Manson, Green Day, System of a Down.

I know this is technically the September Voltcase, but as were a bit behind schedule and its very nearly October, you can be the first person this year that we ask - what are you up to on Halloween? Are you big Halloween person? I’d imagine you’ve got no shortage of costumes that you could wear!
Halloween has been my favorite holiday since I was a child. I have many parties I'm booked to attend and I'm even having my house warming party the week before. It's a halloween-themed Haunted House Warming party! And yes I have no shortage of costumes!

Why should the lazy general public make the effort to check you out?
Come on, I'm a hot chick who can breathe fire, who wouldn't want to check me out?! Just kidding. Honestly I feel that I have a unique look and a unique craft. The art of fire performance isn't very well known, at least not in the style that I use. I combine fire with fetishism - seems like an obvious connection, but it is commonly overlooked in the "scene."

And finally..... what does the word 'Voltcase' mean to you?
Voltcase - hmmm, I wondered if there was a meaning behind it! Being the pyro that I am, I picture a huge suitcase, flying high in the air, sparking and crackling with electricity!
