Lisa’s performance at Crazy Horse has sparked intense controversy
On September 29, BLACKPINK Lisa finished her first performance at the Crazy Horse Cabaret in Paris, France. Lisa, the first Kpop idol to perform at the famous strip club, has been embroiled in heated controversy.
Crazy Horse is located in a wine cellar at 12 George-V Avenue, Paris. Founded in 1951 by Alain Bernardin, Crazy Horse has built a brand with its strip shows typically famous among the upper class.
Strict requirements to become a Crazy Horse dancer include:
- Dancers undergo extensive training before they can go on stage
- The dancers of Le Crazy come from all over the world: France, Italy, Canada, Ukraine, England, Spain, Russia, and the United States. Crazy Horse de Paris proudly proclaims that they will go anywhere to find perfect candidates. Some famous dancers include Rita Renoir, Lady Chinchilla, Polly Underground, Rita Cadillac, Lova Moore, Rosa Fumetto, Miss Candida, Stella Patchouli, Psykko Tico…
- Dancers must adhere to aesthetic requirements such as being 1.68 to 1.73 meters tall. The leg-to-breast ratio is 2/3-1/3.
Le Crazy has been in existence for nearly 70 years and has become one of the most loved adult entertainment shows in the world. Famous audiences at Crazy Horse include Christian Louboutin, Miuccia Prada, Roberto Cavalli, Kylie Minogue, Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Rihanna and Beyoncé.
Crazy Horse is also renowned for its custom-designed costumes by some of France’s luxury fashion houses. In the past, Bernardin even had agreements with designer Cristobal Balenciaga to exchange costumes freely for the dancers. A few years later, Karl Lagerfeld designed a polka-dot dress for one of the show’s acts.
Following that, the performance costumes for Crazy Horse dancers continued to be designed by well-known fashion designers. Among these collaborations, one of the most notable occurred in 2007, often referred to as the union of “two icons of Parisian nightlife” when Crazy Horse partnered with Christian Louboutin. Since then, the “Crazy Girls” have consistently graced the stage wearing Louboutin’s signature 12cm high red-soled shoes.
Inside Crazy Horse, the decor is fancy, primarily in shades of red and pink, creating a hot and sexy atmosphere. Many adult-themed props are also used for decoration. Attendees are required not to film, photograph, or share images outside.
According to the director of Crazy Horse, before accepting the invitation to perform, Lisa was a fan of the shows. The idol visited several times when she was in Paris.
For Lisa’s shows, tickets are priced at 250 euros. Her five stages are organized during Paris Fashion Week, attracting attention from many celebrities who are in Paris during this time.
