DSC_0294JIMJAMWEBOut on the terrace La Soiree’s Ursula Martinez appeared in front of the spotlight.

Taking a swig of champagne from a bottle, she asked if anyone had a light for her cigarette.

Encouraging the crowd to rave on with her to the sound of Mousse T’s track ‘Fire’.

Suddenly there was a flash of fire as Martinez’s minimal nipple covering went up in flames.

Soon the other breast covering was also disappearing in a flash. By the end of the mesmerizing performance little of the artist’s costume remained.

The amazing Jess Love performed her hula hoop routine after stripping off her costume – much to the crowd’s delight.

The club entertainer impressed the crowd with his offbeat magic routine and rousing rendition of a ’90’s pop classic sing-a-long.
