Travesty

Travesty (played by Tracie Morley) is one of Zidler's less noticeable Diamond Dogs. She isn't seen as often as the Four Whores of the Apocalypse; and like the rest of the Diamond Dogs, she's mostly seen in the background during the film. She has a much larger role in the Extended CanCan found in the 2nd disc under Special Features.

Appearance

Travesty, like the rest of of Zidler's Diamond Dogs, isn't dressed in the traditional CanCan costume. In fact even less so than the other girls. Dressed in a fancy gray tuxedo with a top hat, she is the least frilly and the least girlish of the Diamond Dogs. Below her tuxedo is a black skirt with petticoats that are less bright than the other girls with a darker mix of blues and purple. Adding to her darker outlook, her make up isn't as bright as the other girls with dark eye shadow, black eyeliner and dark red lipstick; giving her an almost gothic appearance.

Dances

Travesty is very highly skilled in the CanCan dance, easily rivaling Nini-Legs-in-The-Air. This is explored further during the middle of the dance number where she and Nini-Legs-In-The-Air duke it out in the center floor as the other dancers step to the sidelines and form a circle around them.
