Love Is…Dave The Bear

Some guys can get away with a bit of arrogance. They make it work and still manage to come across hot. It’s like Dave the Bear here, he says he’s the UK’s best male burlesque performer, he admits to being a total babe and confesses to Facebook stalking himself. We don’t know if he’s being serious or not, but we do know one thing…we’d still go there. <3

What do you do?
I’m the UK’s best male burlesque performer. I’m also a singer, I have a couple of singles out on an indie label based in NY, with an album due in a couple of years when I can be arsed to finish it. I’m also a total babe.

Judging by your Instagram there is a fair amount of dressing up.
There is A LOT of dressing up in what I do, and even more glitter. On the subject of glitter I’m starting up a campaign for Mariah Careys 2001 smash hit blockbuster Glitter to get a posthumous Oscar if anyone wants to sign it.

What is your favourite look?
My Gladiator costume is pretty epic and took a year to piece together with separate bits being made by leather workers, drag queens and Brixton’s best weave makers. My Cheerleader is pretty cute though, and I look adorable in it.

What is your favourite Mariah track and why?
I should say Loverboy really, but it’s actually a bit cack. In honesty I’d have to say The Roof. Funnily enough my chum got arrested for standing on “The Roof” of Mariah’s car once. Respect.

Who is your favourite super villain and why?
I’d have to go down the pirate route with this one. Maybe Blackbeard as he was a total badass but also quite a dude. There was a French pirate called Francoise L’onnaise he was super cool but a bit of an asshole. Or maybe Callico Jack as he was quite fit. I’d definitely dock my anchor in his lagoon.

Are there any naked photos of you online?
Much much worse. There are fat ones.

Why do you Facebook stalk and why?
Myself. Because I’m a human being. Also a burlesque performer called Dora Adorable because she’s really thick. Oh and Ayesha Hussain because I want to be her.

What’s the weirdest thing you find hot in a guy?
I like a man that can eat. I mean really eat. If he can eat a family sized pie without breaking a sweat or orders two pizzas just for himself or can devour a KFC Bucket in minutes, that gets my pants soggy. The more crumbs in his beard and stains on his lumberjack shirt the better.

Who is your favourite real housewife?
Not technically a “housewife” but you’ll let me have Braxton Family Values right? I feel like that show was made for me! Trina is my favourite, she’s such a boozer and so lovely. I actually do routines to both Trina and Tamar Braxton songs, I’m still working up to performing to her royal highness Toni. Also, SWV Reunited is amazing, they’re so sassy!

Will 2015 be the year that beards disappear?
I hope not as I have stocks in a company called Tangled Wigs and we are just about to launch “Weirds – Beard Wigs for follicly challenged men. If I lost the £5 I put into that I’d be devastated!
