Anna Fur Laxis
Anna Fur Laxis is an English pin-up model and burlesque dancer, particularly noteworthy for her extensive tattoos and her introduction of axe-throwing and other unusual skills into her work.[1] Her performances include residencies at Jeepers Peepers Burlesque ([York, UK) and Wet Spot Leeds (Leeds, UK), and have been acclaimed around the world. She also makes frequent appearances in print both as a model and as a celebrity, having appeared many times in 21st Century Pin-Ups magazine, Skin Deep magazine and Bizarre magazine.
She studied radiography at university,[2] and in 2005 chose the name Anna Fur Laxis, a pun on anaphylaxis,[3] for modelling, continuing to use it for burlesque dancing.[4] She made her debut as a burlesque dancer in the Ruby Review in Leeds.[2] Her tattoo on her left arm covers third-degree burns from an accident at a young age.[5]
