Baguette Bardot en mis en scene a la caverne au club de Kelvin

Wearing a toaster affixed to a construction helmet and a bright red wig, performance artist Toastie, as she calls herself, is Toast Girl -- literally making toast on her head. Other times she is "Tokyo Tower C Ko," an aging one-hit-wonder with an affinity for One Cup sake and scrubbing brushes.

Her latest incarnation is Baguette Bardot, a tragic blonde whose arms are loaves of French bread. Convinced that the French "would hate it," she took a trip to Paris last summer that resulted happily in the production of her first CD and DVD "The Best of Baguette Bardot".

In June 2011 Toastie performed in Melbourne at the International Jazz Festival, and Citylights documented Toastie in a series of performances as Baguette Bardot.
