I'm Miss Amelia Kallman, an American Showgirl-next-door. In ‘07 I started this blog when I moved to Shanghai to open China's 1st burlesque club. After opening Chinatown and becoming highly successful, this blog was shut down by Chinese authorities. After threats and incidents, I was forced to flee China overnight. Now I live in London where I've started to do shows again, and have written the book, 'Diary of a Shanghai Showgirl'. The timing feels right to bring this blog back. Hope you enjoy!

The People's Republic of Chinatown- A Documentary
This is a documentary circulating the film festivals at the moment about our opening night. The movie poster was painted by an eighty five year old man who used to hand paint propaganda posters for the communist party. He agreed to do the poster for a major discount to have his name on the poster. He said the Party never let him have his name on a poster!
