Millicent Binks is an English writer, performance artist and burlesque performer. She wrote a sex column about her life in The London Evening Standard.[1]
Early years
Binks grew up in Suffolk, England. Her father is a nuclear physicist and her mother is a linguist.
Writing
When Binks first moved to London she enrolled on a Creative Writing degree which she dropped out of after three months to pursue a burlesque performance career, but kept writing for her own pleasure.
In April 2011 the London Evening Standard approached her to be their new sex columnist. Her writing style is tongue-in-cheek and humorous, whilst documenting her and her friends' sex lives in London regularly commenting on fashion and lingerie, with a readership of up to 2 million every week.[2]
Performance
Fascinated with the performance art and burlesque she came across in London, she decided to try it herself, combining her love of costume, dance and characterisation. She graduated with a BA (Hons) in Costume Interpretation from Wimbledon College of Arts. [3] She performed her English Rose show at The Gentry De Paris Revue with Dita Von Teese who Binks is greatly influenced by.[4] She has performed all over Europe and had a monthly residency in Istanbul.[5] Binks has performed for British BAFTA Award winning Artist Alison Jackson. [6] Binks has starred in three short films by the Hellenic Academy Award-winning cinematographer Marcus Waterloo.
- La Mer d’Amour by Marcus Waterloo (2008) (shortlisted for Virgin Media Shorts 2009)
- Little Troubles by Marcus Waterloo (2010)
- Black Widow by Marcus Waterloo (2010)
Modelling
Binks has modelled for many lingerie brands. She modelled for and was interviewed by the Agent Provocateur magazine Knickers Forever.[7] She is the pinup girl in the hit iPhone app Pocketclock.[8]
