Raps on camera on four point seven.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Our next guest is on a world tour and coming
to the nation's capital. She is the woman responsible for
repopularizing burlesque performance. If you haven't seen her on stage,
you've seen her on shows like CSI, Crime Scene Investigation,
RuPaul's Drag Race, of course, and the US The Masked.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Singer or is it the Masked Dancer? We're going to
get to all it was.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (03:43):
She joins us now the Queen of Burlesque, Dita Vontics.
Welcome to the Roden Gabby Show.

Speaker 6 (03:48):
Hi, nice to meet you.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
The Masked Dancer. Now, if it's like the Masked Singer,
it's more than just a mask. Like the outfits that
certainly the Australian version we have here a head to
toe when you're dancing. Did the outfit compromise your ability
to perform at all?

Speaker 6 (04:04):
It was so hard. It was one of the hardest
things I ever did, because you have that mask on
and the you know, they have those high tech floors
that are spinning beneath you, and I had vertigo at
the time also, so it was a nightmare. But it
was a lot of fun. Anyway. I know, I got
asked to do the Mask Singer in Australia and I
don't know, I can't remember why it didn't work out.
I think I was, you know, starting my Vegas show

(04:27):
or something like that. But yeah, these shows. I don't
do these shows very often, but there's something about those
costumes that are fun.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Well, you do love a costume.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
I've been looking at your deep hop, which I didn't
know existed until this very moment, and I'm so excited
because some of your costumes, some of your shoes, some
of your lingerie, Like you sell some of these things
to just anyone out there who wants to purchase them,
and I love your style.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
So I got a little bit fangirly.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
Oh good, Yeah, I mean we I'm always styling these
these photo shoes from my lingerie collection, which is based
in Australia, and you know, there's all I'm always having
to buy new jewelry, and so we just thought like,
let's just like let people buy souvenirs, you know, from
the photo shoots or from the shows.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
You are a Susan of the world.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Where speaking to you in Los Angeles, you're going to
be touring the world and Australia and coming here. I
want to talk about the French Dancing with the Stars
dance at Vector the Stars for a moment, because we've
been we're more into it in Australia than ever before.
We have a young failure from here called Robert Irwin
and he's on the US Dancing with the Stars.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
He looks like he's gonna win it, so we're very.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Excited about it. I wander with your burlesque experience. However,
how it translated to the multiple disciplines required for Dancing
with the Stars the French version.

Speaker 6 (05:44):
Well, the thing is, I loved it because in the
nineties I was part of the first, like of the
swing dance craze that bubbled up in Hollywood in the
early nineties. I was part of all that. So dancing
with partners like all of those social dances. I know,
it's not the same as ball dancing, but there's a
lot of parallels. And I found myself really enjoying it

(06:05):
and excelling it.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
And I was.

Speaker 6 (06:06):
I was on for nine weeks. I was in the
top three. I only got beat out by two men
who are like twenty and twenty three years old. Okay, wow,
So I was like, you know, I was like, I
am fifty years old and I am killing it. So
it was kind of like a you know, it was
when I finally got sent home, they were pulling all
the dirty tricks they could to try to get rid

(06:28):
of me because I was on top. And they do
pull some dirty tricks on you such ah, like they
do things like they'll give you well for me. I
don't know how it is for all of these shows,
but they did things like they'll give you the hardest
dance and they'll make you like to learn the two
hardest dances in one week like that, like Samba is

(06:50):
very difficult, and or something like fox trot, like something
is really hard, and they'll they'll try to exhaust you, like, yeah,
they tried to beat me down, but it didn't work.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Done.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Are you going to be bringing that to the show
in Camber because you're coming with your new show, not
to Neella and sorry not to Neelle. And yeah, it
looks like there's a bit of magic involved in it
as well.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
There it is. Yes, In twenty nineteen, I started working
on a few different magic illusions. I live near a
place called the Magic Castle, and it's very famous for
magicians all over the world, the best magicians in the
world who performed there. And also being in Las Vegas,
I know a lot of the great magicians there as well.
So I've been working with these master magicians on a

(07:35):
few like mixing illusions and strip cheese together.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
WHOA, that sounds like a match made in heaven.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
The show, the show, The show sounds fascinating, to say
the least. We're very grateful that you're bringing the World
Tour to the Australian national capital.

Speaker 2 (07:50):

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Gabby, It's actually happening on Monday, the tenth of August
at the Camber Theater Center. Pre Style is happening at
the moment, So TG dainty dot com where you go
for tickets.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
Well, I wouldn't miss it. My lingerie collection as Beast
in Australia, So I love being there, and you know,
once you're there, you got to do it all.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
You got it well and truly the one and only
d Devontee. Thank you so much for the time. Travel safe.
We can't wait to see you here.

Speaker 6 (08:14):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
This is Gabby rapped on camera four point seven.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Gabrielle, you've been moonlighting as Chelsea and I get confused enough.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
As it is you do.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
I had a parcel delivered to me on Friday, but
it was under Chelsea's name.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yeah, so you open it. I'm like, she's away for
one day. I don't know if it's a rifling through
the stuff.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
No.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
I ordered two dresses online and it got sent to
me and was being delivered by some courier I don't know,
and they decided they couldn't access my driveway and therefore
couldn't deliver the parcel, which was an absolute lie.

Speaker 5 (08:52):
Yes, I was there, yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
And they said that I had to pick it up
at a nearby depot. I could either pick Golbin or Braid, would.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Neither a nearby unless.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
Out of the way. I'm like, I'm not driving an
hour to pick up an online order.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
I just would have gone the shops if I were
going to travel an hour for that, you know, rather
than buy online.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
That's what they said when they got the delivery. We
can't access the driveway or something tick.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
So I contacted the person who or the company that
sent me the dresses, and they weren't free helpful, and
so I had a bit of a day and I
was like, you know what, take it back and give
me a refund. Then the next day, when I wasn't
having a day anymore, I was like, I actually really.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Want those dresses that all the time principle.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
When you do something out of principle, all you're doing
is creating a headache for yourself.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Well I did, and I really wanted those dresses, and
so I had to repurchase them once the refund came through.
But I couldn't do it under my name, because then
they would know, and so I had to order the
dresses under Chelsea's name, and then they got delivered by
a straight post, which is far more reliable. Yeah, I
think they learned and it came a lot faster and
there was no issues.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
So it's crossed the producer.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Chelsea, are you were you aware of Gabby masquerading as you?
Or are you learning for the first time that your
identity has been stolen in the least likely person.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
No.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
I gave her permission, but I was thinking that there
would be addressed in there.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
And you'll be wearing those dresses first, and you'll be
getting the hand me down.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Scabbage, this is wrong.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Gabby, wrapped on camera on four point seven right.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Now, came out to receive the Christmas stock delivery, confusingly
from two thousand and five.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
They finally received my wish list from two thousand and five,
and they've gone, yes, that's great idea.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Did this truck just take the wrong turn at Albuquerque? Yes,
a sudden turn up twenty years late.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
Well, yeah, something happened.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Something happened to this delivery, and it's it's taken its time.
Kymud have said that they take inspiration from the community,
from social media, from watching how we react to their
categories and they shift according to demand. And not too
long ago, they came out with wyged headphones, like we
used to have just the earbuds, but with wires, not wireless,

(11:19):
and gen Zea loving.

Speaker 5 (11:20):
Them because they don't lose them because they're.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
Attached, and so they were like, well, if they love
wired sheadphones so much, let's bring out a discman.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
I'm back a discman.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
They're calling it a portable city Player, but we all
know it's a discman.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
It's a retailing for thirty nine dollars. If it was
thirty nine dollars back in two thousand and five, I
would have actually got it for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
They were so expensive back in the day.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Well, you got to remember they mean sitting in a
truck for twenty years. I mean they wrote this stock
off decades ago.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
Button where it stops it from skipping when you go
over bumps in the car that's ruined, that's been in
the truck for fifteen years.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Was there a button that stopped them from skipping?

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yeah, it was like a it was like a shock
shock absorber button.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Why would that not just be programmed in there permanent.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
That's a really good question.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Or he comes a bump, pressed the button.

Speaker 5 (12:13):
No, we could turn it on, or you could turn
it off. I don't know why you'd want it to skip.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Who's turning it off?

Speaker 5 (12:19):
I don't know any absorbtion is ruined.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I didn't even I never knew what I was missing.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I never had one of the fancy ones with the
shock absorber button. If I if I don't get a
shock absorber button from a thirty five bucks, I'm sorry
came up, but I'm out.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Yeah, I'm looking at the photo. I can't see a button,
but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Do I ask who the manufacturer of this thirty five
dollars discumen is.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
I'm assuming it's Anko.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Ah, I'm not sure. People playing there's nothing they can't do.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
