Miss Violetta Beauregarde

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Miss Violetta Beauregarde is the solo electronic-punk project by Italian performer/model Cristina Gauri.[1]

Music[]

Violetta Beauregarde started by performing several concerts in Italy and Europe, and her first CD, Evidentemente non abito a San Francisco (Clearly I don't live in San Francisco), gained notable interest from the Italian music press. Her second record, , has been released by Temporary Residence Limited as of September 2006.[2] The record had some positive international recognition, and Beck notably ranked it second among his favourite records of 2006.[3][4]

Violetta Beauregarde's music has been likened to that of Kid 606 or Atari Teenage Riot.[5] It is composed with eclectic and often do-it-yourself music instrumentation, over which she screams her lyrics. Her live shows are notable for a degree of attitude and for shock acts such as throwing lamb heads in the crowd.[6]

Non musical activities[]

She became first famous in the Italian musical scene also for having been the first Italian model for SuicideGirls under the nickname of Aiki.[2][7] She also runs an Italian blog[1], which is fairly known for the unique writing style and the strongly cynical, straightforward, outrageous opinions and language.

Under the moniker "Heidi 666" she published a book, L'eterna lotta tra il Male e il Malissimo ("The eternal struggle between the Evil and the Really Evil")[2][8]

She also appeared in the Italian pornographic film Mucchio Selvaggio (directed by Matteo Swaitz) performing fellatio.[6][9]

In 2019 she started to collaborate with the extreme right-wing italian news website Primato Nazionale, linked to the neo-fascist organization Casa Pound.
