The Seattle burlesque community began using the hashtag #SEABQ in 2015 to make our events and our work easily searchable on Instagram. Modeled after hashtags used in our adjacent and thriving theatre community, we continue to use this hashtag online today to promote our work and demonstrate how our scrappy and sexy artform continues to thrive despite censorship and the loss of performance spaces.

#SEABQ Apparel began in 2016 as Sailor St. Claire’s Legend’s Challenge Fundraiser during her time as Mayor of Seattle Burlesque.

$SEABQ Apparel continues to raise money to support our living legends of burlesque and The Burlesque Hall of Fame. All proceeds from purchases will be donated to the Burlesque Hall of Fame.
