Pole dance experts, Bad Kitty USA, delighted us with their presence recently at Tonya Kay’s Pinup Pole Show and flattered us with this astute review!
I might be biased, but to me pole shows are one of the most entertaining ways to spend your night. There’s so much excitement, athleticism, glittery costumes, hot bodies…. I mean what more could you ask for? Living in LA we are lucky to have access to a nice variety of pole shows and much of the time the style of the shows are sexy, sexy and more sexy. PinUp Pole show gives us a sexy style that takes you right back into the 1950’s and 60’s.
That’s right! It’s our first tv special. Tonya Kay’s Pinup Pole Show ‘Hollywood Show Live’ Exclusive, originally broadcast on SoCal’s KDOS and LA18. Now online for those of you not in the Golden State. Creator/producer, Tonya Kay, explains where the terms pinup and cheesecake come from. Have your vegan cheesecake and eat it too; #pinuppoleshow …

We had the pleasure of entertaining writer, Christine Macdonald, at our Long Beach debut this May. Her review is so well written, it brings you right to the best seat in the house. Well worth the read of ever luscious word describing her experience at our show.
Tonya is the epitome of cool without trying to be. A natural performer with a kick ass sense of humor and a body that doesn’t quit (being a trained dancer working professionally for 26 years will do that). She welcomed the audience with open, impressively toned arms (fueled by vegan living) without any vibe of entitlement. Her unique combo of poise and moxie made it clear she owned the room. It was Tonya Kay’s dazzling retro world full of creativity and sex appeal – and we were happy to be living in it.
What filled the space within the 70 minute show was pure magic. Part vaudeville, burlesque and retro fashion that takes you back to old Hollywood glamour…Every number was impeccably styled and choreographed, sprinkled with sex appeal, dipped in pure talent.
What a delight! Car Show Mag surprised us and shot an extraordinary photo review of Pinup Pole Show’s May event in North Hollywood. Check out the full photography set at Car Show Mag.
“Pin up girls, 50’s cars, and live rockabilly music, followed by pole dancers in a retro-burlesque show. That’s the Pinup Pole Show. The car show starts in the afternoon, with pinup models posing for photos with the cars and live rockabilly music by The Centuries. As the sun sets, everyone heads in the Federal Bar for the 70 minute burlesque show headlined by host Tonya Kay and starring bombshell pole dancers & retro-burlesque headliners.
These photos are from their show at the Federal Bar in North Hollywood, CA. “

We had the pleasure of hosting the experts of all things retro, Red Hot Retro magazine, at our last show. It goes without saying, they understood our obsession with classics and vintage entirely.
Tonya Kay has been in the burlesque business for close to 10 years now. She knows how to shimmy. She knows how to shine brighter than rhinestones on the costumes she designed herself, and found others to join her in that vibrant spotlight. She took her love for theater while in Chicago, her drive acting in America’s toughest city, New York, and whipped it all into her sheer focus to create, produced, and direct the Pinup Pole Show.
Tonya and her whole team are broads with gumption.
Each show is fronted by a classic car show that can’t be missed. At last Saturday’s performance, The Centuries played an acoustic set amongst the handsome collection of hot rods that rolled and parked into The Federal Bar’s perfectly open and spacious lot (a rare find in Los Angeles) and what makes them a great location for Tonya’s show.
Inside, on the top level of North Hollywood’s The Federal bar, the curtains were drawn and music cracked into the room – electrifying the audience to attention. Tonya and her ladies wowed us. Defying heights and gravity simultaneously on that competitors’ 16-foot-pole, flirting with their set pieces, and giving us suggestive shadow play, each lucky guest’s senses were in overdrive.
On this episode of Pole Parlour Podcast, we have Tonya Kay. Tonya is a dancer/actress/artist/business woman who discovered pole dance through her immersion in the world of experimental performance art. Tonya speaks with us about the magic of live performance, and shares her inspiration and experience with producing and starring in the Pinup Pole Show, which is full-scale production in Southern California featuring classic cars, retro burlesque, and pole dancers.
