Allura Fette

Allura Fette is a beloved St. Louis performance art icon, renowned for her charismatic stage presence and exceptional musicality. Her diverse training spans striptease, belly dance, fire and flow arts, pole dance, floorwork, and more under the guidance of some of the industry's leading entertainers. Allura’s acts are as varied as her nuerospicy interests ranging from sultry slowburn to campy, political, comedic and beyond. Her talent has dazzled audiences across North America from Montreal to New Orleans, Asheville to Albuquerque, with notable appearances at 26 burlesque festivals and three Shimmy Showdown Weekenders. In 2025 she was co-winner of the improv showdown Last Pasties Standing at the Kiss My Grits Burlesque and Vaudeville Festival in Atlanta.

She began her performance journey in 2009 as part of the fetish troupe Blackline Mafia and made her burlesque debut in 2010 at the BDSM convention Beat Me in St. Louis. Since then, she has left an indelible mark on the local nightlife entertainment landscape as leader of the Thunder Kittens burlesque troupe, co-producer of the monthly shock-and-awe variety show Subversion, and creator of numerous productions including Glow Motion: An All-Blacklight Variety Revue, Warped Tassels: Ska and Punk Burlesque & Variety, and WTF?! An Absurd Variety Revue. Allura started attending Conflation in 2011 and has had many roles over the years including performer, model, registration volunteer, vendor, room party hostess, leader of various workshops/panels, and even served on court as King of Vaudeville.

Since 2013 Allura has been an enthusiastic instructor, sharing her expertise at conventions, multiple burlesque festivals, local studios, and in individual mentorships.  In 2024 & 2025 she attended and taught at BurlyCon, the international burlesque education conference, reflecting her commitment to continuous improvement—a principle she lives by with her motto, "always learning, always growing."

Allura’s passion is community and uplifting those around her.  Her unofficial tagline is “The Fangirl of Burlesque” because you’ll often see her as a patron at shows cheering for everyone on stage.

Conflation is a kid-free Relax-A-Con for those 21 and older.

It is a great chance to get away from the kids, let your hair down and not have to worry about what you say being overheard.

What is a Relax-A-Con? A nerdy party convention with more laid back programming. Heck, programming don't even start till Noon! After partying all night who wants to get up early? 

Come and relax with us. After all, it is your time off.

Conflation is not something you can explain.  It is something you have to experience.
