The Brew Crew

J Von Stratton burst onto the burlesque scene in the spring of 2004, dazzling audiences in the inaugural show of The Atomic Bombshells. With a background in musical theater and gymnastics, her love for the stage was practically destined—and she found the perfect outlet in the glamorous world of burlesque. 

Before her burlesque debut, J Von’s creative nature and love of fashion inspired her to launch her own clothing label and store in 2003. When she discovered burlesque, her creative circle expanded, and she began designing costumes for the community around her. As her business grew, so did her clientele. In addition to burlesque and drag stars, she now includes companies like Amazon and Hendricks Gin, celebrities Macklemore, and the Dolly Parton Archive in her roster.

Now, over twenty years later, her passion for all things stage, fashion, and vintage continues to fuel her life in showbiz. As a performer, J Von has graced stages around the world, from Europe to Australia and China, leaving a trail of sequins wherever she goes.

When she’s not dazzling audiences or crafting couture, J Von spends her time helping non-profits Magic Wheelchair and Plymouth Housing Group.
